When designing a kitchen, we at TATHAASTU consider several important factors to ensure a functional & aesthetically pleasing space.

• 1. Layout and Workflow : Consider the kitchen work triangle, which connects the three main work areas-sink, stove, and refrigerator-in an efficient triangular pattern. Keep the distance between these areas optimal for ease of movement.


• 2. Storage : Plan sufficient storage space for cookware, utensils, and food items. Include cabinets, drawers, pantry, and shelving that suit your needs. Think about organizing systems and accessories to maximize storage efficiency.


• 3. Countertop Space : Allocate ample countertop space for food preparation, cooking, and other tasks. A minimum of 36 inches (91 cm) of uninterrupted countertop next to appliances and at least 15 inches (38 cm) on one side of the sink are recommended.


• 4. Lighting : Incorporate a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting. Ensure sufficient general lighting for the entire kitchen, task lighting for specific work areas, and accent lighting to enhance the overall atmosphere.


• 5. Ventilation : Install a ventilation system, such as a range hood, to remove smoke, odors, and moisture from cooking. Proper ventilation helps maintain air quality and prevents the buildup of grease and grime.

Types of Kitchen Layout

• 1. Galley Kitchen : Also known as a corridor kitchen, this layout features two parallel countertops with a walkway in between. It is efficient for small spaces and provides a straightforward workflow.


• 2. L-shaped Kitchen : This layout forms an "L" shape with countertops on two adjacent walls. It offers good flexibility and is suitable for both small and larger kitchens.


• 3. U-shaped Kitchen : With countertops on three adjacent walls, this layout creates a U shape. It provides ample storage and countertop space, ideal for larger kitchens or those used by multiple people simultaneously.


• 4. Island Kitchen : This layout includes a freestanding counter or island in the center, which can serve as additional workspace, storage, or a dining area. It works well for spacious kitchens.


• 5. Peninsula Kitchen : Similar to an island, a peninsula extends from a wall or the main countertop, offering additional workspace and storage. It's a great option when an island cannot be accommodated due to space constraints.

Color schemes for kitchens

• 1. Neutral tones : Such as white, beige, gray, or cream. They create a clean and timeless look, while also providing a sense of openness and versatility.


• 2. Bold colors : Vibrant hues like red, blue, green, or yellow can add a pop of personality and create an energetic atmosphere. They work well as accent colors or in moderation.


• 3. Earthy tones : Earthy shades like brown, tan, or green can bring a warm and organic feel to the kitchen. These colors are often used in rustic or farmhouse-style kitchens.


• 4. Monochromatic Schemes : Using different shades of a single color can create a sophisticated and cohesive look. For example, varying shades of gray can give a modern and sleek appearance.
