The noble rooms in Can Miravitges estate coexist alongside more modest rooms devoted to the everyday chores of the home, such as the kitchen, the water tank and the cold pantry. What stands out in the kitchen are the polychrome Valencian tiles from the 18th century, which can also be seen in a cabinet in the hand-washing room and under the balconies. One of the ways out of this room leads to the courtyard, where there used to be a cold pantry. Located in a shaded, cool place, it allowed food to be conserved for a long time.

The estate also had its own honey supply system.

From the water tank (innovation from the 18th century), the water was conducted to a reservoir and from there to the irrigated lands.
