\n\t\tThe Basics of a Work Triangle
\n\t<\/h2>\n

When you are in your kitchen you naturally move between three places while you are preparing food. You typically will do three different tasks: Cooking, Clean up, and Food Storage. So in essence your sink, cooktop and refrigerator. Imagine a triangle that connects them. This is considered your work triangle, which is the heart of your kitchen design. The ideal space on each side should be 4 feet in length but less than 9 feet in length. Don\u2019t forget you will need a place also for food preparation, the best place for that is in your work triangle. It could be between the cooktop and refrigerator, or a countertop on an island.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tKitchen Basic Layouts
\n\t<\/h2>\n

There are typically four main kitchen layouts: The \u201cL\u201d, \u201cGalley\u201d, \u201cU\u201d, and “Peninsula\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\tL-Shaped
\n\t<\/h2>\n

This is a popular layout. You have a lot of counter space and no high traffic areas.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"the<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPeninsula
\n\t<\/h2>\n

This layout gives you plenty of counter space and comfortably joins the dining area with a common counter surface.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"the<\/p>\n

\n\t\tGalley
\n\t<\/h2>\n

Can be efficient but very little counter space, and the traffic areas can be very limited.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"the<\/p>\n

\n\t\tU-Shaped
\n\t<\/h2>\n

This is ideal for an island if you have plenty of space in the \u201cU\u201d, it surrounds the chef with appliances and counter space.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPlanning and Design
\n\t<\/h2>\n

As you are designing your kitchen and moving items around in your plan, Always remember your work triangle. Remember to avoid putting an island in a kitchen where two points of the triangle are on opposite walls, it will definitely turn your kitchen into an obstacle course and make it difficult for you to function properly. In larger kitchens, you can break up the space in some Incredible ways by adding an island or two. Try to provide convenient storage space, help direct traffic, and present the chef with useful countertop space that borders but does not block the work triangle.<\/p>\n
