A kitchen should be designed to make your life easier, so that you can prepare food, cook and wash-up with minimum effort and fuss.

Whether you're planning a simple line kitchen, a galley, an L-shape, a more enveloping U-shape design, or you have the room for a stand-alone "island", then you should keep in mind the imaginary "work triangle". Whether you're planning a simple line kitchen, a galley, an L-shape, a more enveloping U-shape design, or you have the room for a stand-alone "island", then you should keep in mind the imaginary "work triangle".

An effective "work triangle" allows food preparation and storage, cooking and washing to be performed efficiently and easily, by keeping the three key appliances -fridge, oven/hob, and sink/dishwasher within easy, unobstructed reach of each other.
