Do you know these Guidelines to Kitchen Design?

There’s lots of room for multiple cooks in this kitchen

A lot of design goes into a kitchen. While some kitchen design guidelines are intuitive, the National Kitchen and Bath Association standardizes the minimum distances. Here’s a few of the more important design areas:

1. The Work Triangle consists of the cooktop, refridgerator, and the sink. There are the “work horses” of your kitchen, so we minimize excessive movement and give you a good flow.

2. Walkway Clearance matters when you have an island or a peninsula in an enclosed space — aim for at least 36″. In higher traffic areas, or with multiple cooks, that number bumps up to 42″+.

3. Appliances, such as the microwave, should be placed in high traffic areas. You don’t want to have to walk all the way across the kitchen just to use the microwave for two minutes.
