- How do you use your kitchen?

When considering different kitchen design and layout ideas, consider the following to gain a clearer picture:

• • The kitchen layout should be designed to perfectly suit your lifestyle.

• - Is it an open-plan space? Focus on the layout of the working area first, but also consider its relationship with a dining table (if there is one) or, in an open-plan kitchen-living-diner, the other zones.

• - Don’t forget the working triangle. To plan the preparation and cooking space, use the kitchen’s working triangle concept. The three points are the fridge, sink, and hob, with imaginary lines connecting them to form a triangle. The three points should be close enough to each other to make meal preparation efficient, but each workstation shouldn’t feel cramped.
