The ideal kitchen is a combination of practicality, comfort of use and meeting certain visual or color criteria.

You may have encountered the so-called work triangle.
A working triangle is nothing more than a diagram of the location of cabinets and household appliances near the wall so that the entire diagram forms a right-angled triangle. The important thing is that appliances such as the refrigerator, oven and sink are placed on the vertices of the triangle. Such practical kitchen planning ensures optimal use of the kitchen and easy and quick preparation of meals.

Another important rule is the distance between individual devices.

It is good practice to follow the tips below.

• the distance between the refrigerator and the stove is 120 - 280 cm,
• the distance between the refrigerator and the sink is 120 - 210 cm,
• the distance between the sink and the stove is 120 - 210 cm,

Of course, in a small room we can reduce these values, but in most cases the above guidelines can be maintained. Regardless of whether you design the kitchen yourself or with the help of an expert, it is important that you pay attention to the practical use of individual devices. It is worth imagining how we will function in the kitchen, e.g.: after taking the products out of the fridge, we wash them, the next step is cutting, peeling, etc. Then we cook or bake, so we should plan the most convenient connections between individual points..

The next important thing is the height of the countertop and hanging cabinets, it is worth taking into account your height or the height of people using the kitchen. If you are an active person who likes to cook, this is especially important because you will spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
When designing or constructing kitchens, most people use a countertop height of 80 to 90 centimeters. Choose the height so that you can have an ergonomic position without bending over with your elbows bent. You should maintain 15 cm of distance from your bent elbow in a straight position. So if you are 170 cm tall and at the point of bending your elbow from the ground you are 100 cm, the ideal countertop height in your case is 85 cm.

What are the current trends in kitchen colors?Currently, there is a trend to buy high-gloss cabinets, many people choose universal solutions using various shades of white, gray, beige, graphite or natural wood. Also take into account that each material gets dirty differently. When choosing kitchen cabinets, pay special attention to whether they leave unsightly finger prints when touched and what cleaning products can be used on them. The principle of choosing colors comes down to individual preference. In fact, you will be living there, not your mother or aunt. Therefore, we advise you to arrange your kitchen according to your own preferences.
