Guide to design kitchen

          The kitchen is the main meeting point in every home. From breakfast meetings with friends, design the kitchen to meet any requirement of use. First of all you need to consider the activities to which the kitchen space is dedicated and consequently provide an area for each of them.

Layout of the kitchen
          The shape and size of your kitchen can help you understand what is the best way to maximize space. The main areas which include sink, stove and the area used to prepare and serve the meal should be arranged to form a triangle directly accessible and comfortable without hindering the passage. From this "work triangle" you can design the kitchen efficiently and concentrate those focal points in a limited area. To create the ideal arrangement would be necessary to move some attacks, such as water, electrical outlets and pipes.
Place the main components
          The work surface should be at the side of the sink and hob. The rings give the kitchen a separate professional look. If you prefer the built-in appliances, install the oven in a single or double column equipped for practical reasons. The front-loading appliances such as ovens and dishwashers, take up more space on the front for easy access. If the dishwasher is located near the kitchen sink you can rinse the dishes before loading.
Style & Design
          Consider the amount of space needed to store food, pots, dishes and small appliances. Place the drawers for the pots in the sink and the hob and leave a surface large enough to support the kettle, toaster and other everyday tools. Often the kitchen cabinets make it seem even smaller than it really is: the glass doors give a light touch, especially when combined with shelves. The columns are widespread and pull-out shelves provide easy access to all objects contained therein. The furniture in the whole and half-height can be used to collect an appliance or as additional storage space.
Dining area in kitchen
          The open kitchens with dining area combined with a solution is widely adopted in recent years. If space is insufficient, you can think of designing an island or peninsula to separate the work area from the dining area. Choosing a different material for the work you can distinguish and enhance the value of the two areas. You can also include a counter for informal meals and a second sink.
