How to decorate a sophisticated kitchen

Choose the layout type based on the orientation and structure of the house. To make the kitchen process smoother, the kitchen can be divided into three main working areas – the cooking area, the storage area and the washing area. Arrange the three zones so that they conform to the ergonomic work triangle, and every item is close at hand.

I-shaped kitchen. In an I-shaped kitchen, all appliances and cabinets are placed along one wall, and the work is carried out in a straight line. This compact, effective narrow kitchen design is suitable for small and medium-sized families or homes where only one person works in the kitchen at a time. Applying this design in a large kitchen can result in too much distance between different functions.

For I-shaped kitchens, consider using double-row cabinets or adding high-rise cabinets to maximize the use of wall space.

I-shaped kitchen + kitchen island.

The kitchen island has more worktops and storage space, making it easy for multiple people to work in the kitchen at the same time. If necessary, a sink or oven can also be installed on the kitchen island hob. Before deciding, check to see if you can connect the ducts, circuits and ventilation ducts of the kitchen island range hood, and make sure there is a worktop between the hob and sink.

L-shaped kitchen. The L-shaped kitchen is a practical kitchen design and the most common kitchen design, ideal for small spaces. By dividing the work area between two connected walls in this way, you get the ideal work triangle. Stoves, sinks, sterilizers, and refrigerators have a worktop between each workstation to prevent spills and overcrowding.

U-shaped kitchen. The U-shaped kitchen provides easy access to everything and maximizes space for cooking and storage, allowing two people to work in the kitchen at the same time. But U-shaped kitchens are only suitable for kitchens with a lot of space. Avoid cross-facing settings so that two people can work comfortably at the same time without colliding.

Keep at least 120 cm between two rows of cabinets facing each other to ensure adequate space.

II-shaped kitchen.

The II-shaped kitchen is the creation of two rows of work and storage areas along two opposing walls. If food preparation is the focus of the kitchen's work, then this design is a big plus. The Type II kitchen does not require a lot of space, and a door or window at the end of the kitchen is sufficient.

Maintain a minimum distance of 120 cm between two rows of cabinets facing each other to ensure that there is enough space to open the doors. For small spaces, you can choose a cabinet with a depth of 60 cm on one side and a cabinet with a depth of 35 cm on the other.
