I agree with painting. I think sticking to a ready mix color in a quality paint like Benjamin Moore or Dunn Edwards is helpful- washability is key here, and more often than you'd think it's possible to wash away the issue. Also, it's important that the wood is poplar or better, and the interior of the cabinets is prefinished plywood. Painting the interior of cabinets is time consuming and expensive. The prefinished ply will eliminate that issue. Perhaps birch. Not melamine or similar because if it chips or bubbles tenants hate it and there's no great way to correct the problem. I also highly recommend spending decent $ on door hardware throughout. Baldwin or better. And faucets- Danze or better. The moving parts in these products are less prone to breakage. The initial cost is more but will pay you back in less maintenance as the property ages. Good luck with your project!

Tsilanko, I would always recommend professional installation where needed. But what I am doing here is suggesting that WHEN you are planning to build or renovate, to consider how your plans will affect you in 20 or 30 years time. Split levels are very hep when you are young. A kitchen 3 steps down at 30 is rarely a problem, but might be a hazard at 60, or, as Marjie1059 suggested, if you break a leg. ... All my parents' homes were terrible for old people. They were forced to move to a bungalow in extreme old sge because the location and design of their home was more suitable for an active young couple with a large family than for an elderly couple with stroke disabilities. I would not want to move again, so my present home has features built in that make ageing in place simpler. Mostly small changes, like grab rails, and lever handles on doors and faucets. A major disability suddenly suffered requires major changes if permanent. I did look at this because it came up in the discussion, but if you look at the heading, Planning for Disability, it means just that. Plan ahead so you don't have to make expensive changes later on. But thank you for your advice, yes, major changes are not in the DIY domain.

Thanks Nitin and Ideal Lifestyle. Sorry for the late reply, I don't know why my net is not working properly from the last few days. Ny way, I actually see the foating kitchen cabinet in google image. May be that it not good for our Indian kitchen. I love the drawyer system that offered in modular kitchen cabinet. But at the same time I have no patience to dry the the kitchenware (cookware/dish etc.) after washing. Now we put it on the steel dish rack (commonly visible in Indian kitchen) hanged in our wall after every wash, which no need to first dry and then store. But I want to conceal the dishes, pressure cookers, kadhais in drawyers. In my dream kitchen big kitchenware should be concealed, hanging cookware like saucepan, tawa, frying pan would hang on s hooks in railing and open shelve for the dry goods in glass/tin/ceramic jar.

How do I choose the right hardware (kg) for lift up system in kitchen cabinet ?
