Straight Kitchen — typical plan

What is a straight kitchen?

A single run of cabinets along one wall — clean, efficient and timeless.

A straight (or single-line) kitchen places everything — sink, hob, prep and storage — along one continuous wall. It is the simplest, most cost-effective layout and works beautifully in open-plan homes where the kitchen shares a room with the living area.

Best for: Open-plan 1, 2 and 3 BHK apartments, rental fit-outs and homes where the kitchen opens into the living space.

Pros

  • Lowest cost — one run of cabinetry
  • Frees up floor space for dining or an island
  • No awkward corner units to solve
  • Easy, linear work-flow

Keep in mind

  • Less counter and storage than L or U
  • Long runs mean more walking end-to-end
  • Needs tall units to make up storage

Client stories

What homeowners say

Real projects, real handovers — in our clients’ own words.

★★★★★
“The quote we signed was the quote we paid — down to the last rupee. Our 3 BHK was handed over in 82 days, deep-cleaned and ready to live in.”
Priya & Arjun Nair
3 BHK · Prestige Lakeside Habitat, Varthur
★★★★★
“We tracked the whole project from Singapore through weekly photo updates. Walked into a finished home the day we landed. That's the kind of trust money can't usually buy.”

★★★★★
“Three vendors before Casalens gave us vague lump-sum quotes. Casalens gave us a line-by-line BOQ, then beat their own timeline by a week.”
