washing machine in Kitchen, sure why not! who doesn't love the scent of washing powder when you need a cup of tea or glass of water. Plus dinning area is not big enough for 6 tables. would look congested, so the builder displayed a 4 seater. Now, in a 4 bhk you have a dinning table for 4 people only, we can follow hostel system and dine in batches, pick your fav group in family and dine with them, who needs entire family dinning together anyway, even better eat in your room. Architect who can think of making a provision for lift in future, should get first married and have a few children's and see how people live in India. Is 4 seat dinning space enough, or huge couch just for 2 people in entertainment room is enough. Will a normal family every consider mixing laundry and kitchen.
