There are several ways you can renovate the kitchen so that
you'll have the best layout for your needs and design preferences. One type of
kitchen layout is the one wall design and in this case the sink would be in the
far corner of the kitchen with the cabinets and dishwasher situated right next
to it. Next to the dishwasher and sink there is the stove and you would have a
microwave and track lighting above the stove. Another good kitchen layout is
the popular L shaped kitchen and in this setup the sink is in the middle of the
room while the stove, microwave, oven and refrigerator are located on each side
of the sink.
Galley Kitchen
The galley kitchen is also called a corridor kitchen and in
this design there are two walls facing each other and the sink is located next
to the stove to make for efficient transporting of food from the counter to the
stove or sink. The refrigerator is placed on the wall opposite the sink and
stove.
My Kitchen Is Small And Narrow, How Can I Lay Out The
Kitchen Efficiently?
If you have a small and narrow kitchen you should avoid big
and bulky tables and chairs and instead opt for a small circular wooden table with two to three small
chairs. Another idea is to install a countertop on the wall and put bar stools
in front of it to create a functional seating area. Install some cabinets on the walls to save
space.
I Have A Studio Apartment Without A Kitchen. What Is A
Good Layout For Me?
Some studio apartments are not equipped with a traditional
kitchen and in this case you can create a mini version of the kitchen by
placing a room divider in a certain part of the apartment to create a makeshift
kitchen area. In this kitchen area place a medium sized coffee table and place
a microwave and toaster on it. In the far corner of the makeshift kitchen place
a portable refrigerator and next to it put a cupboard in the area.
Don't Place Sink Across The Stove
No matter which layout you choose, you should never install
the sink across from the stove because this is inefficient and it is hazzardous
if you transport a hot pot from one part of the room to the next. You want the
stove and other appliances to be situated right next to each other.
Kitchen Layout Ideas for Senior Citizens
If you're looking after an elderly loved one in your home,
here are some tips on how you can lay out the kitchen that is safe and
efficient for senior citizens. The kitchen should not have an island in the
middle of it since it may not work well for those in a wheelchair. Put a
side-to-side refrigerator so that your loved one can access it easier and don't
put the countertops too high. Place the cabinets lower and make the sink at
least five to seven inches deep. Finally, provide widespread lighting.
