TTK Prestige’s modular kitchen boutique in Koramangala pampers you with unending designs and choices



CUSTOM MADE The designs are made for Indian weather, and are low on maintenance

Times are changing these days and so are styles. Their clothes, cars, accessories are all stylish, so why not their kitchens too? That’s right, kitchens with granite slabs with humble steel vessels are passé. These are the times of co-ordi nated kitchens with sleek counters, and matching pots and pans and cutlery.

It is okay if you have an old fashioned kitchen. But are you game to get it replaced with a brand new, stylish, modular kitchen that oozes style and functions better than the old one?

TTK Prestige has launched its modular kitchen boutique in Koramangala. As you walk in you see pictures of a very happy couple smiling and cooking together. And there is no sign of oil or smoke. Probably, these kitchens are more suited for microwave cooking, you think. But, no, they are made for the Indian style of cooking, says Vinaya J., the Boutique Manager.

“Each and every design is made to suit the Indian weather, and is quite low on maintenance. Once the customer decides on the style and we get the measurements of the space for the kitchen, then we will also train them on how to maintain these products,” she adds. The boutique offers a stylish display of various designs of modular kitchens. Each one gives you an idea of how the kitchen looks with its well-co-ordinated accessories, curtains and dining tables. If some are dominated by blues, then there are kitchens designed with a low-level dining space with lacy curtains near the dining area. “But the accessories do not come with the kitchen,” says Vinaya.

The kitchens come in the following options — Jacaranda (made from medium density fibre and boiling-water resistant ply), Magnolia (completely made from solid wood), Iris (offers a wide range of shutter profiles), Daffodil (with lacquer finish).

Each section offers a wide range of colour options and designs too. “Very few people go in for a kitchen with a wood finish as it gives your kitchen a very traditional look. But the others are contemporary in their designs,” observes Vinaya.

These kitchens come with features like handy hooks to hang ladles, strainers, gloves etc, rotating trays, dish organiser, pull out spice rack, cutlery trays and vegetable baskets to name a few. “We also sell matching hobs and kitchen hoods to make it easier for the customer to decide on design,” adds Vinaya.

The modular kitchens start at Rs. 1.2 lakh. The boutique is on 5th cross, 5th block, Koramangala, and is open from 10.30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Call 41606044/41606055 or 94498-61465.
