KITCHEN DESIGN

Work triangle
- is an imaginary line drawn
from each of the three primary
work stations in the kitchen:
1. food storage
2. preparation/cooking
3. clean-up stations.
The food storage
 Your refrigerator and pantry are the major
items here.
 Cabinetry like Lazy Susan or swing-
outpantry units add function and
convenience.
 Options like wine racks, spice racks, and roll-
out trays help to organize your groceries.
The preparation/cooking
Your range, oven, microwave, and
smaller appliances are found in this area.
 Counter space is important in this
section.
 Conserve space by moving appliances
off the counter with appliance garage
cabinets and space- saving ideas like towel
rods and pot lid racks.
The clean-up station
Everyone's least favorite activity is one of
the kitchen's most important - clean-up.
 This area is home to the sink, waste
disposal, and dishwasher.
 Cabinetry for this station is designed to
organize the trash bin cabinet and roll-out
tray baskets for storage convenience
