Kitchen 2

With my post, people told that there is an optimal kitchen design. Not sure this can be implemented in an apartment, but it is good to work from this “template”. I shall implement this in our new kitchen where it has an island.

If you understand the basic principles of kitchen layout will help take much of the mystery out of the design process. The most basic layout principle is the work triangle. The work triangle is the line drawn from each of the three primary work stations in the kitchen – the food storage, cooktop, and sink. By drawing these lines, you can see the distance you’ll walk to move to and from each area.

The sum of the ideal triangle is supposed to be between 15 and 22 feet, putting each of the three appliances within two or three steps of one another.
