Whatever we earn, we earn so that we can eat food, live in a house and wear proper clothes. The surplus is our luxury. Most importantly, without food survival is impossible. Devi Annapurna, the goddess of food, as per Hinduism, has blessed us with nutritious and healthy food to eat. Kitchen is that part of our homes where we cook our food. Therefore, this place deserves maximum attention from us, here are some steal worthy ideas to make your kitchen wonderful:
1. The lightings in your kitchen should be bright but efficient at the same time, so using CFL and LED lamps would be of great help.
2. Ceiling of the kitchen should not be white, prefer using deep shades. The smoke produced after cooking will darken white ceilings.
3. Using small but efficient exhaust fans will help a lot. They drive the smoke out quickly.
4. Get good quality plug points for your hand mixer, microwave and chimney. They eliminate chances of short circuit.
