Open Kitchen Designs for Puducherry Homes
An open kitchen removes the wall between cooking and living. The design questions shift from pure function to finish continuity, sightlines and — importantly in Indian kitchens — extraction, so cooking aromas do not travel into the living room.
Ideal for modern apartments and social households
What to know before choosing a open kitchen
- Extraction capacity is the single most important specification.
- Finishes should read as furniture, because the kitchen is now part of the living room.
- A counter or low partition gives visual separation without closing the space.

L-Shaped Kitchen
Two adjoining runs of cabinetry that keep the sink, hob and fridge within a comfortable working triangle.
U-Shaped Kitchen
Three connected runs that wrap around the cook, maximising both counter length and storage volume.
Parallel (Galley) Kitchen
Two facing runs with a walkway between them — the most efficient plan for narrow rooms.
