‘Modern Kitchen Design - Homes in India’ series of 1939 in the newspaper, were surely indicative of a steady change. Designs showcasing closed cabinets, shelves and chimneys advertising a refined look and feel to the kitchen space. There is also a pantry next to it and a kitchen garden on the rear.

Desires for a modern living and influences from the west led to numerous changes in patterns of habitation, utility and leisure, transforming the humble house to a modern machine.
