Appliance Placement Strategies
Small Appliances:
Understanding and defining kitchen zones is the
foundation of an efficient kitchen workflow.
Each zone serves a specific purpose and helps in
organising the space effectively.
The work triangle is a classic kitchen design
principle that emphasises the optimal
placement of the sink, stove, and refrigerator.
L-Shaped Kitchen: This layout features two
adjacent walls forming an L shape. It is ideal for
small to medium-sized kitchens and provides
flexibility in placing appliances.
Refrigerator: Position it near the prep zone to
access ingredients easily. Ensure that the door
opens towards the prep area for convenience.
Microwave: Place the microwave at a
convenient height, either on the counter or in
a built-in cabinet. Ensure it is close to the
cook zone for reheating and cooking tasks.
