An example of a good work triangle in an L shaped kitchen with an island.
These are Georgetown cherry colored cabinets from JSI Cabinetry. They are all wood and look great!
What is a kitchen work triangle and why is it necessary? This is really the main starting point for any kitchen design. The work triangle is a guide line of design principles developed over many
decades by the University of Chicago, the National Kitchen and Bath Association
and other organizations that concentrated on daily use of the average kitchen.
The TRIANGLE is the space formed between the refrigerator, sink and range or
cooktop. This space should not be obstructed or bissected and should not be longer than
26 feet in total length. Why? Well, this is the main working area for any cook. You should
be able to work without interruption, have plenty of counter space and easily move between
the appliances and water supply.
Now, look around your kitchen. If you like your work triangle and it works for you...great!!
If it doesn't then, you may want to consider changing your kitchen.
Tomorrow, I will talk about some basic floor plans.
