Where to Start Planning Your Kitchen: Expert Tips for Creating Your Dream Kitchen
The kitchen is rightfully considered one of the most difficult spaces to design.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , first you need to decide on the needs, lifestyle and habits of the people who will use the kitchen.
After this, you can decide on the zones.
Typically these are the high and low kitchen front areas, the island area, the dining table, possibly a seating area, etc.
When planning zones, you should be guided, first of all, by logic and common sense. So, the high front should be closer to the entrance, and the low one – next to the window.
It is better if the dining table is located near a source of natural light, avoiding unnecessary walking around.
When designing your kitchen front, keep in mind the work triangle to help determine the proper sequence of stations.
If the kitchen size allows, think about installing an island – its presence in the room will minimize the number of steps the hostess takes. In addition, you will have the opportunity to cook while facing the common family space, thanks to which preparing breakfasts and dinners can be transformed from a routine activity into a pleasant pastime.
