Every perfect house needs a perfect kitchen. You’re going to be spending a huge amount of time there; you’ll cook your meals there, wash your dishes there, and possibly even eat there if you’ve got a dining area. Many people neglect the kitchen when they’re renovating, but this is a mistake. Here’s our guide on how to design the perfect kitchen with some inspiring tips.
- Obey the triangle rule
One of the most important tenets in kitchen design is the triangle rule. This basic arrangement dictates that your sink, stove, and refrigerator must be within easy access of one another and the route between them must be unobstructed. Of course, you don’t have to obey this rule, but if you don’t know where to start then this is an excellent jumping-off point.
Here’s something to remember. No matter what the size of your kitchen may be, your work triangle cannot be too small or too large. If it’s too small, you’ll find working in your kitchen difficult because you’ll be bumping into things. Too large and cooking will feel like a chore. It’s all about mastering the perfect distance between those three crucial appliances.
- Optimize storage space
The perfect kitchen should include plenty of storage space for keeping things like ingredients, cutlery, and cookware. You should have a good number of cupboards, each of them clearly delineated in terms of contents. It won’t do to mix up what’s kept in which cupboard, because before long you won’t remember where anything is and working in your kitchen will become frustrating.
You should also make sure you’re optimizing the storage space you have. Keeping cookware you simply won’t use is not a good idea. Similarly, if you have ingredients which are close to their best-before, it’s a good idea to use them quickly. This can also provide inspiration for new dishes; maybe it’s finally time to use that obscure spice or weird vegetable you bought on a whim recently.
