The most important aspect of interior-decoration of kitchen is to provide all sorts of facilities to perform comfortable working and at the same time it must be elegant also. So, for a comfortable working, following spaces are required in a kitchen.

Storage facilities in terms of:

• Almirah
• Wall cabinets
• Storage space for washed wet and dry utensils.
• Storage space for electrical appliances etc.
• Storage of cooked food.
• Sink and drain board
• Gas chulha or cooking range.
• Refrigerator and hot oven.
• Working space in the standing position which may be defined in terms of spaces on either side of cooking range and other working space for electrical or manually operated appliances or for other operations before cooking.
• Washing space other than sink and drain-board.
• Table ware storage and servicing center. Though it is not a part of working kitchen, it may be provided in the form of wall and base cabinets with tip or other articles of furniture in the kitchen, pantry or dining room.
• Arrangements are required for proper light and ventilation for which windows are usually best located above sink, although it  is practicable to locate them near the preparation and cleaning centre on either sides, depending on working of the house wife and location of mechanical equipment.
• Relation and interrelation of various human dimensions during the kitchen operations must be co-related so that we must act for functional utility along with beauty.
• It is true that a house wife of a middle class family uses to pass more than 50% time of day i.e., 12 hrs in the kitchen therefore it must be comfortable, useful, easy in maintenance, healthy environment and beautiful. It is responsible to make the family members healthy and energetic for whole day work. It will increase the efficiency and reduce the fatigue of house wife.

One-wall kitchen is quite economical which can be arranged within a small area and is suitable for a family. Sometimes when we have to provide a small kitchen attached to a bedroom, then it is quite suitable for example, in the case of field hotel for officers who are allotted single room flat. In this condition work-triangle is in straight line where the best part would be to keep cooking range and refrigerator on either side of kitchen sink. The shelves are provided above and below the working platform to store the prepared food or other items and much more.
