Start with the layout

Pick the layout that suits your kitchen's shape: L-shaped for most flats, parallel for long narrow kitchens, U-shaped for larger ones and straight for compact 1 BHK kitchens. Keep the sink, hob and fridge in a comfortable triangle. Then choose materials: BWP ply for base cabinets, a durable counter, and shutters that wipe clean easily.
