A Few Thoughts on Kitchen Below are some sample kitchen layouts. They have work triangles drawn between the sink, range and refrigerator. In a convenient kitchen the total length of the three legs of the triangle should not exceed 15feet, and the dishwasher (if any) will usually be within the triangle, next to the sink. You will notice that some of the designs are far more convenient than others. You will need to balance convenience with the overall design of your kitchen. You should also try to leave at least 32" between an island or peninsula and any other counter, and preferably 4 feet or more, especially if there will be an appliance door that swings into that area. There should be at least 3 feet of counter between the sink and the refrigerator. A large island or peninsula with an eating counter is especially convenient if you have the room for it. They are invaluable if you entertain a lot. In this case you may find it helpful if guest can access the refrigerator without disturbing the cook. It is desirable to be able to see where the children are when you are in the kitchen. Diagrams of Various Kitchen Layout |
