Modular Kitchen Under 1 Lakh: What Is Realistic?

Planning a modular kitchen on a tight budget? Learn what you can prioritise and where to save without hurting quality.

Whether a modular kitchen fits within a budget of one lakh rupees depends mainly on the size of your kitchen and the specification you choose. A compact kitchen with a simple layout has the best chance.

Start with the layout. A straight or small L-shaped kitchen uses fewer units and less countertop than a U-shape or island kitchen, which keeps costs down.

Spend on what you touch every day. Hinges, drawer channels, and the carcass material decide how long the kitchen lasts, so it is wiser to keep good hardware and choose a simpler shutter finish than the other way around.

Save on finishes and extras. Laminate shutters cost less than acrylic, PU, or veneer, and you can leave out premium accessories and built-in appliances at the start.

Plan for later. A well-designed kitchen can be upgraded in stages, for example by adding pull-outs, a better countertop, or a tall unit when the budget allows.
