Sujithra, Good that you asked. When the cabinets are made in factories they are made a tad smaller than your actual requirement or as per the standard size made by the vendor. Smaller size helps them to make sure it fits in your space. Once a smaller product is fitted in a bigger space - the remaining gap is filled with a 'filler'. Its usually made in the same finish as the shutters so that they are less noticeable. No, it is not essential for the cabinet door to function properly but more for aesthetics. Width of the filler, as explained above, depends on the site details but usually vary from 50 - 150 mm. Thanks, Amit Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

But if you simply cannot remove the washbasin, replace this configuration with a decorative countertop version - a nice stone counter and earthenware basin as shown in the pictures. A more econimical, but not so pretty option is to leave everything as it is and add a low partition about 3'6" high on the left that shields the washbasin from view. You can continue the tiling (ideally a faux brick or slate- NOT white) across the niche on all three walls. Paint the door in a dark shade too -like charcoal grey so that it does not look bathroom-y. Add a wooden moulding around the door frame and paint

Hello Ramsha, Walk in or sliding pantry cabinet always make sense as it give clean and proper planning while designing the kitchen. Instead of the offset on the right side of the kitchen entry, you can plan the wash basin to be used for the dining area. And as you said the its a vacation home, you do not have to go for more storage in the kitchen. Rest you can tell us your requirements for the detail planning. We also take care of the Vastu while planning the area.
