The other thing to consider is that the refrigerator should have a steel coat on it to prevent it from corrosion and rusting. The kitchen should be a customized design to facilitate fitting of equipment.

One has to have counter top space. This is very important to help you in carrying out tasks like chopping, cutting, arranging, preparing food and serving. There is the granite and stainless steel countertop in the market which are good because of their easy maintenance and cleaning up.
