The kitchen is, in addition to a pleasant meeting place for the whole family, a place of work. The task of preparing, cooking and preserving the foods that fill us with vitality and health is fundamental in a home, and that is why it is essential that we feel comfortable in it.
To Distribute To Better Kitchen Design
A perimeter distribution of furniture is the most appropriate, with it you gain space and leave the center free for the table. In homes with a few meters, a good distribution can create more versatile and multifunctional spaces, for example, a countertop can act as a separating bar for the kitchen and dining room, and at the same time, serve as an auxiliary table.
But, in addition to the layout of the kitchen furniture – in the form of L, U, or in the corridor, following the perimeter of the room – to harmonize the space it is advisable to distribute the main elements – fire and water – in a triangle.
The stoves represent the fire element, and the sink and the refrigerator, the water element. It is necessary to avoid locating them so that they are confronted; the optimal distribution is the triangular one.
The sink is interesting to place it before a window, to take advantage of the natural light and the views while we prepare and clean the food and utensils. The stoves, on the contrary, must always be before a wall, and in no case under a window, for security reasons.
A central island is ideal as a place to prepare food and also as a water area. If we place it in a way that allows seeing the entrance door while working, the sensations will be much more pleasant.
