Minecraft wiki entry for Furniture, associated text: A kitchen may consist of a small chest with food products, such as meats, bread, or raw ingredients. You may wish to add a crafting table as well as a few furnaces, to simulate a working area and an oven. Counters are made by placing the stone, stone brick, or wood plank blocks in any manner a real-world kitchen would be placed in. Also, the kitchen should be placed on cobblestone or stone brick floors, rather than wood plank floors. For a more fancy floor, use polished andesite and polished granite, or black and white wool.
