Common Layouts
The layout of your kitchen—where you place your appliances, your
countertops, and your storage—will determine how cook-friendly your
kitchen is. Ask yourself:
- Will I have to walk far to get water to top off a pot on the stove?
- Will I have enough space to slice, dice, chop, and otherwise prepare
meals?
- Will I have room to store the olive oil near the stove or will I
have to go across the room to get it?
- Will two or more cooks be able to work comfortably in the space
without constantly bumping into each other?
- Will I be able to easily rinse dishes and load them into the
dishwasher?
- Do I prefer a range or a separate cooktop and oven?
- Do I need a prep sink and a cleanup sink?
- Do I need an eating area in the kitchen?
Of course, if you’re remodeling, the structure of your existing home
will limit your layout options. You’ll have considerably more flexibility
the larger your space and if you’re building a new home or adding on.
