any ideas.. desperately in need of some

I have a very small kitchen, and want to utilize the space in best possible way.. Could you please help me with the modular kitchen

Hello Shrikant, The layout of the kitchen with depend on the floor plan. If you can share that we can advise on the layout. I am with you on the options available for the final finish. Its really very confusing for a new home owner. The most commonly used for Indian houses are Laminates on ply OR Laminates on MDF. Then of-course there are many other options some of which you have already suggested. Final choice shall depend on your budget and preferences. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.
