A kitchen that is made in a factory as opposed to creating something onsite is known as a modular kitchen. It is so called because it consists of individual components (or modules) and sections that are brought together to form the modular kitchen design. A modular kitchen design can be personalised to the requirements of the homeowner. This is done by considering the size and layout of the area allocated to the kitchen, the homeowners’ preferences in terms of style, colour and materials, as well as the number of storage units needed. Modular kitchens come in a variety of layouts as well, including the L-shaped, U-shaped, parallel and straight.
