The Kitchen is arguably the most important room in an Australian house. It’s where we cook, socialize, make decisions, communicate, argue, create and laugh. The Kitchen is and should be a well thought out and usable room for the entire family. An Australian kitchen is typically equipped with a sink, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a cooktop, a utensil cabinet and other electrical appliances.
