You might have the best looking kitchen in your street, however, without the correct layout for your requirements, your kitchen could quickly turn sour.
When it comes to selecting your kitchen layout, you will find there are many options available.
U-SHAPE suits large kitchen spaces, great for families, functional and efficient,
more cabinet and bench space.
G-SHAPE all the U Shape is and more, provides extra bench space, excellent for entertaining
L-SHAPE versatile, can suit open living, small spaces and long room,
popular choice, free mobility inside kitchen, great working space.
L-SHAPE with ISLAND adds more workspace to the L-Shape Kitchen,
great for entertaining, family friendly and suits larger room
GALLEY is highly functional, the choice of kitchen for many chefs, modern/contemporary,
user can access all areas of kitchen quickly.
STRAIGHT LINE suits small and narrow spaces along with large kitchen, simple design,
often less expensive.
Having said this though, no matter the layout you choose there will always be human traffic problems. The best way to combat this is to follow one simple rule: THE KITCHEN TRIANGLE.
The triangle is formed by the placement of the fridge, stove and sink. the distance from your fridge to the stove, to the sink and back to the fridge should not be less than ten feet, and no more than 25 feet. If you apply this rule to your kitchen it will make for a comfortable space. If the area is less than ten feet people inside the kitchen will be falling over each other. On the other hand if the triangle area is larger then 25 feet, the area becomes too large and the enjoyment is lost from cooking due to tired feet.
