How to get a Modular kitchen design look within a week

Modular kitchen design look is a trendy item on any home improvement list. But, did you know you need more than a month to get it installed at your home? Also, modular kitchen design is very capable of bottoming out your precious bank balance. Typically, a fully fitted modular kitchen for the usual 8 feet by 10 feet kitchen can cost you 3 to 4 lacs at the minimum.

Now, while this is useful information to have, it is also disheartening. The first reason is time – five to six weeks of eating out as your kitchen is broken down to dust and debris. The second reason is the cost of the improvement. I mean, your current kitchen also cooks food as of now, it serves its utility. So basically, a newly fitted modular kitchen design will only add better efficiency and an enhanced look. It is excellent if you are building a kitchen in a yet to be occupied home. However, if you already have a fully functioning home, putting your kitchen on hold is almost impossible. And beautification and utility are just not very convincing offerings.

I know, even after understanding all the practical constraints, you still wish for that sleek looking modular kitchen. So, I have a solution for you. You can get your modular kitchen design look within a week, and at a much lower cost. This sounds amazing right. I call it the magic of design, and also some perfect décor materials.

To get a Modular kitchen design look within a week, you need to call 4 or 5 vendors. Our strategy here is to add new fittings to your existing kitchen. We are not going to break it down to dust and start rebuilding again, that sort of renovation cannot happen in a week. Now, let’s start designing your kitchen.

Vendor 1 – To upgrade your countertop

Kitchen Countertop is where all the cooking happens. Also, the countertop has a significant presence in your kitchen’s décor. Now, to revamp this, you have two options – glass and acrylic. First, the glass option is as simple as it gets. Call a local glass vendor, ask him to measure your counter space for glass sheet cover. Make sure you order toughened glass with bevelled edges. Now with the colour of the glass, you have many options such as tinted, clear, and lacquer.

I recommend taking lacquer glass to add some bright colour to your kitchen. The second option is a somewhat new one that hails from south-east Asia. Synthetic acrylic in liquid form is poured and levelled on your existing countertop by skilled labour, and then left to dry. This option adds vibrant colours to your modular kitchen design, so opt for it if you are looking for a colourful upgrade.

Vendor 2 – To upgrade your cupboards

Cupboards make the most of your kitchen, especially the outside face of your shutters. So here, we will only focus on the shutters or the outer front of the cupboard doors for the new modular kitchen design look. Here, again, I can suggest a couple of options. First one is easy and also adventurous – get rid of your shutter. The open shelves look is not exactly a modular kitchen design, but it is worth considering. Once you choose to remove your shutters, you have a kitchen filled with showcase shelves. Now, to make it look elegant, you must invest in some good spotlights and fit them in every cupboard. The second option is to upgrade your existing shutters with a crisp and clean stick-on adhesive film. You can opt for branded ones from 3M-Dinoc or local ones from your glass vendor.

Vendor 3 – To upgrade your storage

This section is about getting better utility in your kitchen by fitting modular accessories. You know, the pull-out baskets, the grain trolley, cutlery drawers make your kitchen’s storage much more useable. For this upgrade, you can call a kitchen fittings vendor such as Inox Décor, Ozone or Godrej kitchen systems. Now, each brand comes with different types and sizes of accessories. As the fittings will install in your existing cabinets, you may have to look through a couple of brands for the required size. But, don’t worry, most of the vendors will help you choose and fit the modular kitchen design accessories.

Vendor 4 – To upgrade your taps and lights

There is a secret that all modular kitchen design showrooms and homes have – excellent lighting and high-quality fixtures. The faucet taps and the lights are like precious gems sprinkled around your kitchen. These fittings can upgrade your kitchen tremendously. Again, like most fittings, lights and taps also come in many styles. Here, it is best to play it by ear. Your existing kitchen will have some lights and tap systems installed. Choose your fittings as per the current system. Get a plumber and electrician on board to help you determine the type of accessories that your kitchen can receive.

Vendor 5 – To upgrade your stove and chimney

Your stove and chimney are like the crown of your kitchen. You can consider the chimney hood as a chandelier, while the stove is like the centre table. That’s the show value these items bring to your kitchen. Any modular kitchen design revolves around these two. Today, stove and chimney come in many types – 3-burner, recessed or electric stoves, and flat, hooded or concealed chimney. As we are chasing a time limit, I won’t recommend you change your type of stove or chimney. Extra plumbing or electric works are best avoided in this case. Also, recessed stove tops and concealed chimneys may not be an option for our quick modular kitchen design. As the market offers many models and variations, you still have lots of options to choose.

Fact is that modular kitchen design demands a significant renovation at your home, with a big cost. It is said in interior design that more the money, longer is the time taken to decide. You see, there are so many choices and ways to design and decorate a space, and you must be sure about what you are purchasing. We always suggest you take the time to spend your money wisely. Thankfully, our week-long modular kitchen design doesn’t leave you stuck under the burden of decision making. This solution is neither costly and nor does it take very long.

Most importantly, all the upgrades are superficial, meaning they are temporary. So, you can freely choose your modular kitchen design and enjoy cooking in fresh new décor, just within a week. Let’s upgrade now!
