Everyone has heard of the “work
triangle”. This is the imaginary part of
a kitchen which connects the three main elements – The range or cooktop, the
refrigerator and the sink. As with most
simple concepts there are guidelines that make this triangle work most
effectively. The first is that no one
leg should be more than nine feet .
Preparing meals can be a big undertaking. There is no reason it should be a marathon as
well. That is why, ideally, the total
dimension of the triangle should not exceed 18 feet. Sometimes this is difficult to accomplish
especially when remodeling existing spaces, but smart planning should reduce
the amount of travel within the kitchen.
Also, each leg of the triangle should be a single straight line. One should not have to dodge around corners
or other obstacles. Bruised hips and
running shoes should not be on the menu.
Plan wisely and you will find it a joy to be in the kitchen.
