The layout of a kitchen should consider where to place the appliances, type of countertops, and storage. This arrangement will determine how user-friendly your kitchen is.
Basically, think about 3 major items that are regularly used in the kitchen; the stove, the sink and the refrigerator. These items should be placed at the tips of a triangle. Usually, the larger the area of this triangle, the better it will be. This triangle will ensure an effective traffic flow in the kitchen i.e. taking raw meat to the sink and taking washed vegetable from the sink to the stove.
Ask yourself the following questions when designing the layout of your kitchen
