Kitchens should reflect the needs, wants and lifestyle of the household they serve.
Efficient layout and design is more important than size.
Efficient design promotes safety.

Work Centers Kitchens are designed around work
centers. These areas of the kitchen especially equipped for a particular chore.
![Page 7: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Most work centers are built around a major appliance or fixture and include both counter and storage space.
![Page 8: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A well-planned kitchen includes three basic work centers: food storage, cooking and cleanup. Some kitchens have mixing and planning centers as well.
![Page 9: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Food storage center – the refrigerator stores fresh food and the Pantry stores sauces, mixes & canned foods. If it is convenient, store spices near the stove.
![Page 10: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cooking center – the focus is the range, microwave and oven. There must be ventilation in this area.
Other items in this
center are small
appliances: mixers,
blenders, toaster
ovens, pots, pans
& utensils are
in this center as well.
![Page 11: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cleanup center The sink,dishwasher, garbage disposal,
recycling bins & perhaps a trash can or compactor are in this center. Dishcloths & cleaning supplies are stored in this area as well. It is convenient to store plates, cups and flatware near the dishwasher.
![Page 12: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mixing center
Much of the food
preparation takes
place here.
![Page 13: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mixing Center
The Mixing Center is best located between the refrigerator & the sink or between the sink& the range. Mixing bowls, knives, cutting boards etc. should all be within easyreach.
![Page 14: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Planning center The place to plan meals and store
cookbooks, coordinate family messages, schedules and correspondence.
![Page 15: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Work Triangle• The triangle is formed by drawing
imaginary lines between the stove-top, sink and refrigerator.
![Page 16: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The work triangle should be between 12 feet and 22 feet, slightly larger to accommodate a wheel chair.
No one side of the work triangle should be longer than 9 feet or shorter than 4 feet.
![Page 17: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The work triangle functions best when the 3 sides are nearly equal in length and traffic does not cross through it.

Cabinets in the kitchen are both base and wall cabinets.
Base cabinets are usually 24 inches deep.
Wall cabinets are 12 inches deep. The cabinet width can be customized.

The color of the finishes of the cabinets should be chosen first, as it sets the tone of the kitchen. Light colored cabinets give a feeling of light airiness, spaciousness.
Dark cabinets give a sense of richness and coziness.
![Page 26: Kitchens](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813566550346895d9ccc47/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Cabinets can be constructed of hardwood, softwood, plastic laminate or metal. The most durable cabinet is hardwood.

Countertops should be attractive and durable. The ideal countertop would withstand chopping, grinding, cutting, hot dishes and stains.
