The main aspect is the layout

Before choosing options for arranging furniture in the kitchen, consider your individual preferences and all those people who will be here. Types of layouts can be many. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. The single-row kitchen arrangement is one of the most popular. It is relevant for large and small spaces. The width of the kitchen (minimum) is 1.7-1.8 meters. Work areas are located from right to left. As a rule, a sink is installed in the center, and a refrigerator and stove are placed around the edges. This will make the work in the kitchen not too energy consuming. A two-row construction is ideal for an end-to-end kitchen. Optionally place work areas in parallel. To make it convenient to walk the distance between these rows should be 120-165 cm. For a medium-sized kitchen, placing a headset with the letter “G” is suitable. Such a layout will fully ensure comfortable work in the kitchen. Even if this room is a passage, the working triangle will be protected, definitely. The U-shaped option is suitable for those kitchens where there is a separate dining room. In addition, this option is suitable for a kitchen studio. With the help of such a layout, it will be possible to make a smooth transition from the kitchen to another room. Near the window a place will be freed up, which any housewife will be very happy about.

The travel path from work areas to the refrigerator should be as short as possible. This will create maximum convenience in the cooking process. When planning a kitchen, you should consider the free opening of all doors. Simply put, any kitchen door should open unobstructed. One of the most occupied types of equipment is a dishwasher. Safety in the kitchen is the main component of comfort. The slab should not be placed close to the aisle or window. While in the kitchen, no one should hook the dishes that are on the stove.
