Kitchen design can be as simple as a work directly with minimal equipment or more complex as multiple sinks, dishwashers, cooktops and ovens islands islands, the islands and much more. Wine coolers can be inserted in the space of a dishwasher or the size of a pantry. Sinks can be filled with ice baths to cool bottles, enough for an entertainment center, double or triple bowls, and an endless variety of materials. The materials vary greatly, you can go greenPlans made of compressed recycled paper, clear glass, concrete, granite, limestone or made familiar. Even within materials such as granite, prices vary enormously depending on the exact stone you choose, and you can find some very reasonable and beautiful stones, if you look around. There are an infinite world of possibilities in the kitchen.
First, we start with some basic principles of design. How much space do I need to do a kitchen? Well, that depends on what you want in it. To it on the mini,You could put a kitchen in a space 5 '4 "x 7'-5", but it would be very few small-scale devices without a dishwasher. Let's look at some standard equipment and devices seem to size ranges.
Rinse: Rinse come in many sizes, depths, materials and prices. They can be as narrow as 11 ", but you will probably need at least a 30-floor" - "cabinet that offers a wide range of standard size sink instead of 25" 36 to 33 "in a variety of styles (in the fall,Front under-exposed or cut off). You must also decide whether you are a single, double or triple-basin sink as, effect of the available formats. There's also a chance to put the sink in an island, or an entertainment sink or fall through a secondary site. Dishwashers: Dishwashers are quite easy, because more or less standard 24 "are. Kitchen: again we have several options, but the dimensions are a little 'easier. You can choose between a free-standing or rack in which the device fits between two cabinets, which is usually 30 "wide, a stove with built-in ovens (below or in a separate cabinet), the standard 30 "or 36" size and fit into this picture size (though it's professional style rangetops able to get up to 48 "), or a professional style range of companies such as Viking, GE Monogram, and Wolfe did, ranging from 24 "all 60" and requiresignificant ventilation. If you choose a separate oven wall oven in a sort of agreement, oven standard widths are usually 27 "and 30", even if they are up to 36 ". Refrigerator: make choices, decisions! Refrigerators are two kind of basic style decisions. You want one that is shallow (2 ') and is known as the depth of built-in or counter-current, or if you want something deeper in the traditional style, hosting some of the walls refrigerator. The dishis usually built in 36 ", 42" & 48 ", while the deeper styles can be found just under 30" wide and high. Faucets: kitchen faucets, along with a nearly infinite variety of styles, materials and colors have been developed. The valves are now just fill up the pots on the stove, have a choice of pull-out spray head, or a syringe in hand, single or multiple attacks, two remote controls with a button to prepare a sink, which allows quicklySink or a complete cleaning of the flow, and can any decor from ultra-modern ideal of the Renaissance.
How much is enough work surface? According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) for a total of 158 inches (13'-2 ") of the front desk (not curve) is required to accommodate the whole kitchen. Try to include a continuous series of surface work at least allow 36 inches wide and 24 inches deep near your primary work area. NKBA advised to allow at least 15Worktop next to your thumb on the handle of the stove and refrigerator.
When it comes to storage, the NKBA recommends a total shelf / drawer front 1400 mm for a kitchen small (less than 150sf), 1700 cm for a medium kitchen (151 to 350sf) and 2000 cm (about 350sf ) for a large kitchen. What does this mean? This means that I have 100 'of shelving needed for a small kitchen? Well, yes, but should any tray or shelf of every countedof total costs. So if you are a 24 "cabinet width, 30" tall, has 3 shelves, it is already 6 'shelves. And if it's a 24 "cabinet with 4 drawers, there is another 8 ', so this is a 24" kitchen area is equipped with 14' of shelving.
What is the "work triangle"? The work triangle represents the three large work stations of the kitchen: 's, fridge and kitchen sink. Measure from the center of each, the maximum total length of the triangleshould be no larger than 26 feet with the top leg is not greater than 9 meters and the minimum is not less than 4 meters. With 3D Home Decorator, there are actually 4ft and 9ft arrows, you can put in your plan is to test the distance.
Areas of food are not limited to the tables! Iceland has space for eating, cooking areas, washing areas, or only certain areas of preparation. A typical kitchen counter 34 inches to 36 inches high. A table is usually 30 inches high. Then, in designingDining kitchen, the dining area island to get off at table height or table can be constructed as an extension of an island, he left the bar height stools, or up to 42 inches for a great dining plan work, which is often used for hiding the work behind the counter, when viewed from the rest of the room.
How much space is ideally located between the table and wall? The NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Assoc.) Recommends a minimum of 32 inchesif no traffic has to happen. 36 inches of scissors someone leaves, and 44 inches can a person on foot. If a wheelchair is dependent on the past, leave 60 inches.
It 'better to vent the stove to the outside, if possible, but we are fans of air circulation, odors from the air to be drawn when there is no outside vent cooktops do not under windows open. If you are lucky enough to have a working window than your height kitchen work surface, place the heat sinkunder it, instead of the oven. You can put a combination microwave oven with a fan over the stove, it is exhausting to the outside or recirculation.
Do not waste your kitchen. Wall cabinets may have decorative open shelves or in two door that opens both sides of the cabinet. Lazy susans are blind base cabinets that rotate for access shelves or cabinets on which they can retire, the swing to the side and allow deeper shelves to be pulledin places accessible. While it is more difficult to access, it is the cheapest option, only deep shelves or simply lazy-susan (rotating shelves) have. If you created an L-shaped island or a peninsula in the kitchen, the doors can be placed on both sides for accessibility.
Do not forget the space between the lower and upper cabinets. If you have more than enough work space, the space between the upper and lower cabinets (even in the corners) have sliding doorsIt can hide (doors cumulative), the equipment or the space will be filled with wine rack open, so that the exposed part of the work plan for ordinary purposes.
Cabinets are available in all sizes. Cabinets in any width from 3 inches to come, and depth from 12 inches to 24 inches and larger, to meet every need. 9-inch and 12-inch base of extracts for beverage bottles and cans are wonderful and effective for filling in small spaces. There are cabinets with drawers for baseWaste and / or recycling, or shelves that rise to a type of device Kitchenaid Mixmaster. A cabinet 12 inches deep at the end of an island for cookbooks can be used or developed for the storage of wine. Do not forget, full-height pantries, can have the racks, roll-out drawers, door panels for storage of spices and other specialties. Both upper and lower panels can be opened for wine decorations, books, glasses and much more. A basic 18 "or 24" would be a small soft drink or wine refrigerator builtneed to be in. There are 6 "high drawers or open shelves that fit under the cabinets for storing small items. wardrobes can be designed and unusual glass doors that are used to make it possible to view the special dishes.
