 Not every kitchen is square. In many Pune apartments, especially in Wakad, Hadapsar and Kothrud, the kitchen is a long, narrow room with a door at one end and a window at the other. That shape is a gift, if you know what to do with it. A modern parallel kitchen puts a counter on each long wall, leaving a walkway between them. Simple, efficient and surprisingly stylish. What is a parallel kitchen? Sometimes called a galley kitchen, it has two straight runs of cabinets facing each other. One side usually holds the hob and chimney. The other carries the sink and the fridge. Because everything is a half-turn away, you move less and cook faster. Restaurants use the same idea for the same reason. The right dimensions Space between the two counters is everything. Aim for about 1.2 metres, around four feet. Less than 1 metre feels tight when two people are around. More than 1.5 metres and you lose the efficiency. In terms of total room width, that means roughly 7 to 8 feet, with ...

 An island looks fantastic in photos: a big counter in the middle, stools on one side, a family chatting while dinner cooks. In real life it is wonderful when the room supports it and a headache when it does not. An island modular kitchen needs space, planning and a clear purpose. Let us go through what that means for homes in Pune. What is a kitchen island? It is a freestanding counter unit, separate from the wall cabinets, that you can walk around on all sides. It can hold a hob or sink, offer extra prep space, or act as a breakfast bar. Most are paired with an L-shape or parallel kitchen along the walls. A unit that touches a wall at one end is called a peninsula, which is a smaller cousin that suits mid-sized rooms. How much space do you really need? This is where most plans go wrong. You need clear walking room of roughly 1 metre to 1.2 metres around every working side of the island. Add the depth of the island itself, which is usually 600 to 900 mm, and the main coun...

  Walk into any Pune flat around dinner time and you will see the same thing: someone turning between the stove, the sink and the fridge with a steel bowl in one hand. A u shape modular kitchen is designed to cut out those extra steps. Counters run along three walls, so everything you need is within an arm's reach and nothing is more than a pivot away. What exactly is a U-shaped kitchen? Picture the letter U. Two long runs of cabinets face each other and a third run closes the end. The open side is your entrance. Most families put the hob on one arm, the sink on the base, and tall units such as the fridge, pantry and oven on the other arm. In a modular setup, each cabinet is built in a factory as a separate unit and fitted at your home. You get cleaner finishing and faster installation, and you can change a single drawer ten years later without tearing out the entire kitchen. How much space do you need? U-shapes need breathing room. As a thumb rule, keep about 1.2 to 1.5 metres (f...
