In modern times, kitchen is no more the place for just cooking
purpose. It is much more than that. Kitchen, nowadays, is considered as a room
to catch up some fun time with family and friends, and also as a place to give
vent to ones culinary skills. Hence there is a need to carefully plan a kitchen
before embarking on purchasing the furniture and other appliances.
The furniture used in kitchen is few but fittings are many.
Hence there should be a careful planning of both furniture as well as fitting.
Table: One of the
most important furniture used is kitchen table. The table selected depends on
the space of the kitchen and the purpose for which it is put to use. One needs
to decide whether to use the table in the breakfast nook or for dining purpose.
The table used in breakfast nook can be small whereas if it is used for dining
purpose it should be big. Similarly the height, shape etc of the table should
be given due consideration.
Stool: Stools can
be of different types like the one with back support, backless, with arms,
without arms, swivel, stationery etc. Similarly the height of the stool will
also be different. If the stool is put to multiple uses, then it is always
desirable to go for stools with adjustable height option. If it is put to only
a single use, then a fixed height stool can be opted.

Cabinets: Next to
furniture comes the cabinet. Before purchasing cabinet, one need to carefully
measure the area where the cabinet is to be installed. Cabinets can be fully
wooden or glass cabinets. Similarly the finish can be wooden or painted one. The
number of cabinets required, number of cabinet racks, door etc need to be
decided beforehand.

Countertop: Granite
is the most widely used material for counter top. Even though granite is
expensive, it is highly durable and elegant looking. The color, finish, edge,
thickness etc of granite need to be paid special attention before purchasing. The
color of the counter top should be one that blends with the overall décor of
your kitchen. Granite slabs are available in 2 and 3 cm thickness. The latter
is generally preferred because it is much stronger.
Other Accessories:
Other accessories come in the form of kitchen rack, sink, wine cabinets etc.
Kitchen racks are available in wood and stainless steel. Stainless steel rack
is considered to be best as wood might get worn out if it comes in continuous
contact with moisture. Stainless steel sink is the most popular variety. As for
wine cabinet, wooden cabinet made of hard wood would be the best choice.
