⭐️WE HELP WITH DESIGN⭐️
Here is a potentially unpopular opinion… the kitchen triangle rule for kitchen design is outdated. Everyone who has ever designed a kitchen has been introduced to the idea that the fridge, sink and cooker must be positioned in a triangle shape around the kitchen for flow. But, with so much changing in the world of kitchens, this seems outdated. Firstly the U shaped kitchen that facilitates the triangle is fallen out of favour with islands taking centre stage in most kitchen designs. Then hobs and ovens have migrated apart. We like to conserve our spines and have our ovens in tall units that we can peek inside separating them from the hob and creating a 4th point. Then there are dishwasher to consider… possibly more important that the sink in many peoples kitchen design. Finally, the integrated bin, possibly the greatest thing to happen to kitchens in terms of concealing and organising waste. If well positioned, you can easily sweep waste from the counter into the correct compartments with no fuss.
🤦But that is now 6 important parts of the kitchen to consider so where do you put it all.
We think that it is very individualised to the way you use your kitchen. In our house we have an avid cook with lots of creative mess 🫗 and a person that washes up 💦often at the same time to keep some order. We like to have the kitchen zoned and consider the routes we will each take. The dishwasher is positioned with a direct walking route from the dining area and out of the way of the prep area. The crockery and silverware is stored near the dishwasher for easy putting away and laying for the table. The bin is accessible to the prep and washing up area with out any cross over of paths. The fridge, prep space, oven and hob are all clustered with the required pots, pans, baking trays and cooking utensils in easy reach.
