Things to Know Before Installing a Modular Kitchen
Kitchen Canvas – High End Modular Kitchens in Pune
A modular kitchen is more than just a space for cooking — it’s the true heart of your home. It’s where your family begins the day, where conversations flow, and where memories simmer alongside your favorite meals. But before you bring your dream modular kitchen to life, there’s more to consider than colors and cabinets.
At Kitchen Canvas Pune, we believe great kitchens are not just designed — they’re understood. Every family is different — from a senior couple who values comfort and convenience, to working parents juggling early breakfasts, or young professionals who need a space that’s both stylish and functional.
That’s why, before installation begins, we study your lifestyle, routines, and home layout to craft a modular kitchen that fits you perfectly — not the other way around.
1. Understand Your Family and Layout Needs
Before deciding whether you want an L-shaped, U-shaped, or island-style kitchen, we start by understanding who will use the kitchen and how.
- Do you have senior citizens at home who need ergonomic access?
- Do your kids rush for breakfast before school?
- Is there a storeroom or pantry area for bulk storage?
- How often do you cook — daily, weekly, or occasionally?
These small but crucial details guide every design decision. At Kitchen Canvas, our designers observe your layout, dining connection, and light flow — especially if your dining area is attached to the kitchen — ensuring balance, flow, and visual harmony.

2. Plan Plumbing & Electrical Points Early
One of the most important yet often ignored steps is aligning plumbing and electrical points before cabinetry begins. Each socket, light, and sink placement affects functionality.
At Kitchen Canvas, we plan all utility connections — from oven and dishwasher points to RO units — so your design stays efficient and organized. This coordination ensures no last-minute changes or compromises once the installation starts.
3. Choose the Right Materials for Your Lifestyle
Every material has a purpose. Families that cook daily need heat- and moisture-resistant finishes, while low-maintenance homes may prefer sleek, easy-clean surfaces.
We recommend:
- BWR plywood for durability
- Quartz or granite countertops for longevity
- Soft-touch laminates or back-painted glass shutters for modern aesthetics
Our kitchens are built with premium imported profiles and finishes, ensuring each design stands the test of time — both visually and structurally.
4. Smart Storage & Ergonomic Design
A kitchen should work for you, not against you. That’s why we analyze your cooking habits to design precise storage systems.
For example:
- Monthly grocery buyers need tall pantry units
- Families with children need easy-access drawers for snacks
- Those who cook traditional meals require heavy utensil storage
- Organized cooks prefer dedicated cutlery or spice pull-outs near the hob
Every Kitchen Canvas design is customized to the millimeter, ensuring a clutter-free, ergonomic workflow.
5. Appliance Planning Comes First
Many homeowners buy appliances after design approval — but that’s a common mistake. The size and placement of your hob, chimney, oven, or dishwasher influence cabinetry and layout.
We integrate SMEG appliances from Italy and other premium brands directly into our designs, ensuring perfect fit and visual balance. Whether you prefer a 4-burner hob or a larger 5-burner setup, our design accommodates it with exact precision.
6. Lighting & Ventilation – The Unsung Heroes
Lighting defines ambiance, while ventilation ensures comfort.
At Kitchen Canvas, we design kitchens that maximize natural light and airflow, supported by layered artificial lighting — task, ambient, and accent — to enhance beauty and usability.
From chimney placement to window orientation, every decision contributes to a fresher, brighter, and more enjoyable cooking experience.
7. Budget & Timeline Transparency
A modular kitchen is a long-term investment in your lifestyle. Clear budgets and timelines are essential to avoid delays or hidden costs.

✅ Step-by-step design approvals
✅ On-time delivery backed by German precision fittings and Italian hardware
