Modular Kitchen Questions, Answered by Bakahome
Bakahome is an interior design studio based in Chennai. Our skilled and enthusiastic team relies on proven tools and methods to guide you confidently toward your dream home — from the very first idea through to the finished space.
What exactly is a modular kitchen?
A modular kitchen consists of individual cabinets — called modules — that join together into one complete, working kitchen. Because these modules can be assembled and dismantled again without damage, you gain freedom in both design and layout.
How is a modular kitchen different from one built by a carpenter?
A carpenter usually sets up a small workshop at your site and hand-crafts every part of the kitchen there. Modular units, on the other hand, are manufactured for on-site assembly, which gives you flexibility in design and customisation to match your particular space.
Why should I choose a modular kitchen?
The greatest advantage is how easy a modular kitchen is to use. Home cooks get a kitchen shaped around their own habits and working style — a cooking space built for them. Design flexibility is another plus: with so many options on offer, you can tailor the kitchen to your taste. Modular kitchens are also prized for their affordability, delivering plenty of features at sensible prices, and for their clean installation, which leaves no mess behind. In short, they are user-friendly, flexible and cost-effective, which is why modern homes prefer them.
What are the current modular kitchen trends?
Modular kitchens are available in a wide range of colours, designs, textures, materials and concepts, and these keep evolving as the industry moves forward. Trends also change with shifting lifestyles and preferences. Today, straight lines are popular, along with handle-less doors, soft-closing drawers, top open-able glass doors and built-in appliances. For a rustic country feel, solid wood finish shutters remain a favourite. Whether your taste leans contemporary, classic or rustic, your modular kitchen can reflect your own personality and style.
Do modular kitchens work well in Indian homes?
Functionality is the top priority when designing a kitchen, and the working triangle — the sink (wash unit), the hob for cooking and the storage units — is at its core. Modular kitchens are organised, functional and flexible, minimising movement while maximising efficiency. In India, where fresh food is preferred over packaged food and grains and edibles are often stored in bulk alongside a wide range of spices, a well-organised modular kitchen matters even more. The home cook needs to know where everything is and reach it easily, which makes modular kitchens a practical choice for Indian households.

Is there a charge for a site visit?
At BAKAHOME, site visits cost nothing — it is part of our commitment to giving customers a realistic picture of the kitchen design and budget. Because we want you to make informed decisions, we go the extra mile by sending a senior design specialist to your site. During the visit, the designer assesses your kitchen's size, hears your requirements, and shares design ideas along with an approximate budget so you can decide with confidence.
How long does it take from planning to installation?
At BAKAHOME, we understand that accurate measurements and budgeting are essential when designing a kitchen. We respond to our customers' needs and treat every kitchen as a complete project, managing it all from concept to final execution. Our experienced team takes precise measurements for a perfect fit and provides a tentative budget so you understand the costs involved. With a delivery period of 4–5 weeks, we aim to serve you efficiently and on time.
How long until I receive my kitchen units after ordering?
At BAKAHOME, the standard delivery period for kitchen units is 4 to 6 weeks, and installation usually takes 2–3 days. The delivery date is counted from receipt of a confirmed order and advance payment. Once your order is confirmed, we work diligently to meet the agreed delivery schedule.
Do all doors and drawers have soft-closing hinges and runners?
Yes — every door and drawer we fit comes with premium soft-closing hinges and runners. We believe these high-quality components are essential to the best possible modular kitchen experience. They make our units more durable and improve the convenience and functionality of the overall design, so you can trust your BAKAHOME kitchen to deliver a seamless, enjoyable experience.
