When designing a kitchen it is important to know some facts about the recommended measurement to ensure that you can work as easy as possible. This article gives you 10 important guidelines for your kitchen design project.
1. The work triangle, which is the space between the refrigerator, sink, and stove should be 26' or less with none of the sides longer than 9', or less than 4'.
2. If your kitchen is larger than 150 sq. ft choose at least 16 1/2' of countertop, 15 1/2' of wall cabinets, and 16' of base cabinets. For smaller kitchens buy 11' of countertop, 12' of wall cabinets, and 13' of base cabinets.
3. Plan you work aisles no less than 42" wide if you are one cook and 48" if you are more than one in the kitchen.
4. Specify a minimum of 24" of counter space on one side of the sink and at least 18" on the other.
5. Have at least 15" of counter space on besides the refrigerator (on the handle side) for unloading groceries. If you have a side-by-side refrigerator have the space on both sides. If it is not possible, have a landing space across from the refrigerator (with a 48" maximum distance).
6. For easy cleaning the dishwasher should be placed no more than 36" away for the edge of the sink. Make at least 21" of standing room next to the machine.
7. For microwaves and ovens, provide at least 15" of counter space nearby, at least 16" deep.
8. For optimum clearance, no entry, appliance, or cabinet doors should interfere with another.
9. The prevent repetitive-motion injury make the work counters have different height. For chopping and seated-use access have them between 28 and 36" off the floor, and for more general tasks make then between 36 and 46". This is standard measures. Taller cooks may need higher counters.
10. If you are installing a cabinet unit above the cook top, the clearance should be at least 24" if the surface is fireproof. If it isn't the clearance should be 30".
Kitchen design is equally divided between science and art. You can have a lot of good ideas, but if you do not know the recommended measurements, the result will never be satisfying. It is expensive to build a new kitchen, so you should make sure that you get the best result. - 33383
