A kitchen layout must be practical, functional as well as satisfy the aesthetic taste of the homeowner. It should also ensure ease in performing kitchen chores and offer storage to keep all the clutter out of site and counters free for cutting and cleaning activities. The setting can be modern or traditional but must be timeless in design and enduring in its build quality. Clever use of natural light keeps electricity bills low while artificial lights can be added for dramatic effect and kitchens with the natural light shortage.

Choice of plumbing fixtures, appliances, pots, and pans must fulfil the family's requirements; special fittings can be added where necessary. Lastly, the layout must tie together every aspect of the kitchen into one wholesome unit while utilising every inch of the premium space. Above all, it must fit your budget!
