About this collection
Ever wonder why some kitchens feel effortless while others feel cramped? It usually comes down to the basics. For instance, a standard Indian kitchen countertop is typically set at 34 inches. However, if you are planning for an inbuilt dishwasher, you need to bump that up to 36 inches. Details like this prevent unnecessary back strain and ensure your appliances actually fit, making cooking a breeze instead of a chore.
Master the 60-30-10 Rule
Confused about colour schemes? You are not alone. Our designers use the 60-30-10 rule to create balance in any room. Use your primary neutral shade for 60% of the room (walls, ceilings), a secondary colour for 30% (curtains, larger furniture), and a bold accent colour for the final 10% (cushions, decor). It is a simple way to make a space feel professional without it looking chaotic.
Making Small Spaces Work
If you have a 600 sq ft area, do not worry. Kavalai illai. We often split these compact homes into four distinct zones: kitchen, living, vanity, and bedroom. We utilize partitions to separate the kitchen from the living area and maximize storage with floor-to-ceiling units. The goal is to avoid clutter and ensure that every corner has a purpose.
Why Measurements Matter
Bad measurements are the number one cause of kitchen regret. Before finalizing your layout, verify the depth of your base cabinets and overhead units. Everything from the distance between your hob and the sink to the gap between your cabinets needs to be planned for ergonomics. We often recommend under-mount sinks to prevent water leakage and ensure a seamless look.
Five Things to Know Before You Start

- Plan for traffic flow. Do not place furniture where it blocks your natural movement.
- Be clear on your vision. Whether you prefer minimalist or traditional, consistency makes the renovation process much smoother.
- Prioritize quality materials. A few high-quality items will last far longer than many cheap ones.
- Hire professionals early. Pre-planning electrical points with a designer saves you from breaking walls later.
