The kitchen is probably the most used (or misused !!) room in any home , requiring an efficient combination of storage spaces , working counters , seating areas and free passages . It has to be functional , practical , elegant and comfortable , all at the same time and hence , great emphasis should be laid on the overall layout design of the kitchen , especially the small (and seemingly minor ) details.

There are various practical points that must be considered and discussed before commencing the designing of a new kitchen or the modification of an existing one .

- The style of cooking (which varies greatly due to influences of country , state , religion , health and personal choice ) would greatly influence the design and layout of a kitchen . Importance must be given to the type of materials , ingredients and mediums used as well as the appliances and working space required for that particular style of cooking .

- A kitchen should be designed to match the preffered style of the individual user and the general ddécorof the rest of the house . It may be designed in a country / farmhouse , contemporary , colonial / english , laboratory , futuristic / high-tech , European / Mediterranean or ethnic style with matching decor and finishes .

-A minimal , modular , straightlined , no-fuss work-area where the emphasis is on efficiency , workability and cleanliness . There are no wasted spaces and no unnecessary display of items or clutter . Most of the appliances are built-in and the workareas are easy to maintain and clean .

-According to the theory , an efficient and practical kitcen layout is one where ideally the three major elements :
Sink/Washing area
Refrigerator
Cooking range
diagram

are conviniently located so that the user can work and move about easily . The distance between the refrigerator , the cooking range and the washing area should not be less than 6 meters . This working should not be broken by full heights,fittments doors or passages .
-The flooring , mostly used are mosaic,ceramic tiles,marbles.Stone flooring or ceramic tiles are recommended for Indian conditions,keeping in mind the surrounding dirt and dust since the material is impermeable , hard and stin / scratch resistant .

-the walls in most kitchens are usually painted.Good qualityplastic emulsion paint for areas under the sink and near the wash area .

-Cabinets are usually made of 19mm commercial block boards with laminate or enamel/duco paint .
