You spend 10 hours a day solving complex problems at work. Your kitchen shouldn't be one of them. Here's how Arune Interiors designs smart, ergonomic modular kitchens for Hyderabad's IT corridor.
If you live in Gachibowli, Hitec City, Kondapur, or Nanakramguda — you're likely an IT professional, startup founder, or corporate executive with a demanding schedule. Your home is your sanctuary. And the kitchen, for most modern families, is the heart of that sanctuary.
Yet most modular kitchens in Hyderabad are built with compromises — cheap carcass materials that warp in 3 years, hardware that fails in 18 months, and designs that look dated by the time handover happens.
At Arune Interiors, we build kitchens differently. Here's our complete guide to what a smart, premium modular kitchen should look like in 2026 — and what it genuinely costs.
Most homeowners in Hyderabad focus on shutter color and handle style when choosing a modular kitchen. These are the last 10% of the decision. The first 90% — the one that determines how long your kitchen lasts — is the carcass material.
| Property | HDHMR (Our Standard) | BWR Plywood (Market Standard) |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 850–950 kg/m³ | 500–650 kg/m³ |
| Moisture Resistance | Excellent — kitchen steam-proof | Good — but swells over time |
| Screw Hold | Superior — hardware stays firm | Average — loosens in 3–5 years |
| Termite Risk | Zero — synthetic core | Low to moderate |
| Expected Life | 15–20 years | 8–12 years |
| Cost Premium | +18–25% over BWR ply | Base price |
Arune Interiors Standard: All our modular kitchens use HDHMR carcasses as default — not as an upgrade. This is the base specification, not a premium add-on. Because we believe your kitchen should last as long as your home.
Most apartments in Gachibowli, Nanakramguda, and Financial District are 3BHK or 4BHK configurations with kitchen sizes ranging from 80–140 sq.ft. Here are the most efficient layouts for each:
Ideal for kitchens with two walls available. Provides excellent work triangle efficiency — hob, sink, and refrigerator at optimal distances. Works beautifully with a breakfast counter extension. Recommended for 90–130 sq.ft.
Two parallel counters with a central aisle (min. 900mm clear). Maximises storage and workflow. Common in larger Gachibowli apartments. Works with sliding pantry units on one side. Recommended for 120–160 sq.ft.
Three walls of cabinets for maximum storage density. Best for families that cook daily. Often combined with a kitchen island in larger layouts. Recommended for 140+ sq.ft.
Connects kitchen to dining/living area. Requires seamless material continuity — same quartz countertop flows from kitchen to counter. Highly social design — ideal for IT professionals who entertain at home. Any size above 90 sq.ft.
| Kitchen Size | Layout | Material Grade | Estimated Cost (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80–100 sq.ft | L-Shape | HDHMR + Acrylic | ₹3.8L – ₹5.5L |
| 100–130 sq.ft | Parallel / U-Shape | HDHMR + PU Gloss | ₹5.5L – ₹8.5L |
| 130–160 sq.ft | U-Shape + Island | HDHMR + Lacquered Glass | ₹9L – ₹14L |
| 160+ sq.ft | Open Kitchen + Counter | Full Premium | ₹14L – ₹22L+ |
Note: All Arune Interiors kitchen costs include design, materials, hardware (Hettich/Hafele), installation, plumbing connections, and 10-year manufacturing warranty. No hidden charges.
The hardware inside your kitchen determines the daily experience. Hettich and Hafele drawer systems are engineered to 80,000+ open/close cycles — that's 40 years of daily use. Cheap alternatives typically last 18–36 months before handles wobble and soft-close mechanisms fail.
At Arune Interiors, Hettich or Hafele hardware is included as standard — not offered as an upgrade at an extra ₹40,000. It's in the base price because we build kitchens meant to last.
We know Gachibowli and Hitec City families lead busy lives. That's why every Arune Interiors kitchen project follows a strict 45-day execution timeline from design sign-off to handover — with a dedicated site supervisor you can WhatsApp at any time.
Why does in-house manufacturing matter? When your kitchen is built in our own factory (not outsourced to a carpenter), we control quality at every step. No surprises. No substituted materials. What's in the BOQ is what gets installed.
Yes. Our teams work 6 days a week with fixed daily progress reports. You'll receive WhatsApp photos every evening showing the day's work. Site access is managed so you don't need to be present.
We design the kitchen as part of your complete home interior — not as an isolated project. The material palette, lighting temperature, and hardware finish are coordinated with your living room, dining area, and bedrooms.
We offer unlimited design revisions until you're fully satisfied. No charges for revision rounds. We don't start manufacturing until you approve the final 3D walkthrough.
