Understanding The Basic Kitchen Layout

Understanding the basic principles of kitchen layout will help take much of the mystery out of the design process. One of the most basic layout principles is the work triangle. The work triangle is an imaginary line drawn from each of the three primary work stations in the kitchen - the food storage, preparation/cooking, and clean-up stations. By drawing these lines, you can assess the distance required to move to and from each area and thus determine how well the traffic will flow. To help avoid traffic flow problems, work triangles should have a perimeter that measures less than 26 feet.

Since the kitchen is one of the most active work areas of the home, it is important to select the right layout to complement your lifestyle and taste.

After learning about the work triangle in the section Understanding Basic Kitchen Layout, you will now see how the work triangle functions in each layout and the advantages each layout offers.
