@magspag Thanx for the advice. We wanted to save some cost by not replacing the floor tiles, as well as save by retaining the upper cabinet in its current grey shade. Guess we will go for all-black for the cabinets: both below and above the counter; and put in a new counter-top that contrasts--maybe, a light coloured granite or slate. Examples for this color-scheme are in the ideabook

narrow kitchen limits your choices. only suitable layout is parallel kitchen.

Hello there, I would suggest try researching with few dealers before zeroing in on one product. Do a thorough check online/offline as well. Brands that are well established and well accustomed to Indian Kitchen tend to provide better services and spares at much reduced costs. Their products have been refined through decades. Few are Elica, Kaff, Faber, Glen and Kutchina. Some newly introduced ventures are Siemens appliances, Hafele-Nagold, Hindware and Bosch appliances. They are evolving and might take some trial and errors to reach a steady customer base. So make a much informed decision before buying one as it is incredibly crucial to cooking, especially steam and oil suction capacity. Also, you need to look at filter spares costs etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar
