7. Work Triangle Kitchen hints Reference Examples of good Kitchen Designs
A work triangle is used in the design of the kitchen.
What is it?
It states that when you design an effective kitchen the sink, refrigerator, & stove should be between 4’ to 9’ from one another.
If it doesn’t follow these rules there is a lot of unnecessary walking that will take place.
Make sure your stove and refrigerator are not placed next to one another!
