Kitchen Interiors
Tendency of some families is to store grains for full year consumption in advance like wheat is stored in winter, cooking oil before monsoon and so on, hence the storage requirement increases putting extra burden on the kitchen. If you cannot avoid this habit, then have tall cupboards up to the ceiling and store maximum at higher level, just take out 30 days quantity in small box for regular use. Fix shelves as per the size of the storage boxes, do not waste any volume above them, have 2 to 3 types of standard sized boxes.
Even after doing the entire above, if your storage is less, then move the non-essential store elsewhere. Crockery can be housed besides dinning table; rarely used cooking utensils can be stored on the loft above the bathroom and extra grain boxes can be stored below the bed etc.
Other major problem faced by housewives using kitchen is not enough space. If possible have a pull out drawer like an extended table which can be pushed inside the platform. This table can give you extra space to work and for storage. For cooked food, have a trolley which can be pulled out and pushed back as per use. One last alternative is to reduce the size of the sink and have small sink to wash utensils.
In many countries the concept of readymade kitchen has not succeeded because normally they are made of particle board or laminated plywood and this does not last long where there is extensive use of water. The right material for such kitchens could be top of black granite, vertical supports of medium quality marble, walls fully tiled from floor to ceiling. Drawer’s and shutters made of teak wood preferably old teak wood, drawer with stainless steel bottoms, 3 piece telescopic drawer channels and overhead storage without ply back so as to avoid breeding space for insects.
Vastu angle: If possible have kitchen located in south east corner of your house and if that is not possible don’t worry at least in the kitchen have your burners in east or south east location, your drinking water storage in north east location and you will achieve at least 70% of Vastu levels in your kitchen.
