Modular kitchen is one of the most commonly thrown around terms. What it means is a pre-designed kitchen interior that comes in modules that are of fixed shape and sizes. These modules could either be factory-made or customized to suit the client’s needs. Modular kitchens use high-quality laminates for their cabinets. Sometimes the plywood is lined by aluminium to increase its durability.
Modular kitchens have several advantages over a custom made kitchen. They come in a variety of colours and finishes. They are easier to install and are more durable. What makes these modular kitchens even more durable and efficient are the additional accessories that can be used. As the population is increasing, the average house sizes are decreasing. With this come space constraint and difficulties in fitting things in a given small area. These kitchen accessories are a game-changer and help utilise every bit of space. There are a lot of modifiable accessories available of which the following are the most dynamic and useful.
Corner Solutions
In the case of L-shaped and U-shaped kitchen layouts, it is very difficult to reach the space in corners. These are the most underused or inefficiently used spaces in the entire kitchen. Various corner solutions could render these spaces very useful. Trays of various shapes like- circular, rectangular, half-moon are available to suit the user’s need.
Lift Up Cabinet Doors
These cabinets prove to be extremely useful in the case of smaller kitchens. Instead of swinging sideways the doors open upward thus saving a lot of space. Some of these operate automatically. These come in various finishes such as laminate, acrylic, and glass.

These are baskets that are set on channels and can be pulled out of a cabinet. These are different from normal pull out drawers/organisers as they allow the storage of items like vegetables. These also come with lids to avoid the smell from spreading. Choices of wicker and stainless steel baskets are available.
Tall Unit
As the name suggests, these are tall units that are usually placed towards the end against a wall. These mostly act as a pantry for non-perishable, dry goods. These are tall, generally slender structures that could either have single panel or double panel storage depending on the user requirement and space available.

These are units placed on the kitchen top which store various electric kitchen appliances. Their shutters can be opened to use the appliance and then closed again to give the kitchen a clean clutter-free look. These shutters are available in various finishes such as acrylic, laminate, and glass.
