Traditional Indian L-shaped kitchen with a breakfast counter in RS Puram, Coimbatore

About this design

This traditional Indian L-shaped kitchen was designed for a family of four with two school-going children at Quartz Greens, RS Puram, Coimbatore. The brief asked for more storage for a family that cooks every day, so the team added a tall pantry with pull-outs and deep tandem drawers.

The palette is turmeric, deep red and peacock green, with carved teak, brass accents and handloom upholstery. Main materials: solid teak, brass inlay, handloom fabric and kota stone. In Coimbatore, windows were kept clear for cross-ventilation so the home needs little air conditioning.

Work on site took about 5 weeks after the design was signed off, and the approximate cost was ₹2.5 lakh for a 118 sq ft room, including GST. Treat it as a reference: brands, site conditions and the city change the final price.

Highlights

• Tall pantry with pull-out baskets
