Modular Kitchens and Wardrobes in Bangalore: Standard Modular or Custom-Built? How to Decide

Standard modular systems use pre-sized units that are arranged to fill your layout. They are quick to plan and familiar to most buyers. Their limitation is that your room is rarely made of standard sizes, so gaps and fillers appear at the edges.

Custom-built cabinetry is designed and made to the exact dimensions of your space, including its awkward corners, beams and alcoves. You choose the proportions, material, finish and internal layout.

• Fit: custom is made to the room, modular is adapted to it.
• Flexibility: custom allows unusual layouts, integrated appliances and special storage.
• Finish: custom lets you match the rest of the home's furniture and materials.
• Speed: standard modular can be faster to specify, while custom involves a design stage.
• Accountability: when the same team designs and makes it, there is one party responsible for the result.

• Your room has unusual dimensions, slopes, beams or alcoves.
• You want the kitchen or wardrobe to match your furniture and interiors.
• You have specific storage needs, such as tall pantry units, shoe storage or walk-in layouts.
• You want one team accountable from design to installation.

• Who actually manufactures the cabinetry, and can you see the construction?
• Which materials are used for carcasses, shutters and finishes, and how do they handle Bangalore's humidity?
• Which hardware is used for hinges, runners and drawers?
• Who measures the site, and who installs it?
• What support is there after installation?

Beyond Studio makes kitchens, wardrobes and architectural cabinetry as part of its furniture work, designed and built by one team. We began in 2015 as My Beautiful Home, a Koramangala design house, so we think about how a kitchen or wardrobe sits inside the whole room.
