3 Layout Mistakes to Avoid in a New Style Kitchen Design

Many of the most important family activities, such as: socialising, cooking and eating take place in the kitchen. When a kitchen is updated or replaced certain rules need to be followed for the project to be successful. The layout and organisation are crucial to making the kitchen work correctly, and this is a very easy thing to get wrong. Let’s take a closer look at three mistakes that should be avoided when creating a new styled kitchen design.

1. Blocking the Kitchen Triangle:

The kitchen triangle is the ideal relationship between three points of an equidistant triangle. At each point is a crucial location, they are the sink, the cooker, and the refrigerator. When working in a kitchen, moving between these locations is a natural and essential part of the experience. Blocking the movement between these locations, with a kitchen island would be a very bad layout mistake. Not only, would the kitchen look wrong, it would also be very awkward to work in and less safe.

2. Not Installing Enough Counter Space:

This is the single most complained about aspect regarding kitchen design. So many kitchen activities take place on counter tops these days as there seems to be a small appliance to suit every need. Some appliances such as an expensive coffee maker will be situated permanently, and others will be used, cleaned and put back into storage. In reality, space permitting, there is no such thing as too much counter space. Additional space can be added to even a smaller L shaped kitchen, with a breakfast bar or an island.

3. Not Going Professional:

Taking on a kitchen design project with little to no experience is not for the faint of heart. Although it’s an admirable quality to have a go and save some money in the process, it can be fraught with risk. Decent kitchen elements can cost a lot of money and mistakes can be a very expensive learning experience. Many people have found that using a professional kitchen designers actually saves them money and yields a better end result.
