Planning Your Layout

Once you have created your list of requirements, you need to considerwhich layout suits both you and your kitchen space.

Kitchen designers often refer to the “working triangle” which defines the path between work zones within the kitchen—the fridge, sink and cooking appliances. The aim is to keep this working triangle to a minimum, thus saving you time and effort within your new kitchen.

Other layout considerations:

  • Create a dining area if you have space,

The key to getting this right is to keep the seating area away from the preparation end of the room.

Eating is more pleasant if you can ignore the washing up!

  • Plan your power point positions,

They need to be exactly where your electrical appliances will be—whether large (e.g. fridge) or small (e.g. Kettle).

  • Lighting,

Where will you need it most? (e.g. work surfaces).

Are you making the most of the natural light?

  • Storage,

Think where’s the best place for cutlery,plates, food, etc. and how much space you need for each. The things that you’ll be reaching for the most should be in the most accessible positions.

  • Sinks,

Remember that your sink has both a waste and incoming water pipes

that are most likely heading through your wall to the external of your house.To keep installation costs down, you should try to locate your new sink (and dishwasher, if applicable) close to these pipes.
