Everyone has heard of the “kitchen work triangle.”We can get inspirations from looking at several magazines and websites where appliances are lined up next to each other. However, no real kitchen is created that way; these displays are meant to show products more than placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should not design your kitchen interiors so that every appliance is shoved to one wall. Your kitchens are not two-dimensional paintings; they are rooms we will walk through and use every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Main Elements of the Kitchen Work Triangle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So how do you design the ultimate kitchen? There is a longtime standard based on the classic idea that all interior designers follow: The kitchen golden triangle. It is the most efficient layout for the kitchen so you flow through your work without anything blocking your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the three elements of the Golden Triangle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Refrigerator<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Oven Stove Range<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Kitchen Sink<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Three invisible lines connecting each of these points form a triangle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The refrigerator<\/strong> is the cold storage to keep food fresh that would spoil if kept in cabinets or pantries. This includes frozen items like meats and chilled produce like vegetables and leftovers that can be prepared before eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The oven\/stove range<\/strong> is the element to bake, fry, or otherwise transform the food with heat. It is one of the most active appliances when used and this element needs space. Without any proper room, someone using this amenity can be prone to accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The kitchen sink<\/strong> is the central plumbing of the room and area to clean dishes. Sinks are the immediate access to water in the kitchen. The sink can have a garbage disposal, which pulverizes food remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These are essentials for any kitchen and it\u2019s rare for one to lack any of these. Not having a place to store chilled food, prepare hot food, or clean dirty dishware hampers the kitchen\u2019s overall function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is important to know where the three appliances need to be located before the remodeling process. The wise option is to use a design program<\/a> to help you picture a layout of how your kitchen should look. Before making rash decisions of wanting to move water or gas lines, focus on the kitchen work triangle so see how viable it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are whole studies on the internet explaining the simplicity and effectiveness of the golden triangle. Without repeating the same information on other articles, here are some digests in the practical application of this golden triangle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
