HELP! I Need Advice On My Kitchen Layout

I hear this often...real often. People are looking to remodel their kitchen but don’t really know where to start. The initial stages of planning and design can be some of the most critical to getting good concise quotes from contractors. I like to tell people to start with the basics of kitchen designs…think like a chef even if you aren’t one.

Where would you like to stand while cooking? Would you like for your cooking utensils to be close to the right or left of your cooktop. Does you family gather in the kitchen like mine does for everything…maybe an island with seating would be great.

Finally, think of the work triangle. What this means is a triangle between the sink, cooktop and the refrigerator. They should form a triangle with each side being no more than 10 feet to be most efficient in the kitchen. This will give you a great starting point to get your project off the ground and running.
