How to make it functional and modern?

[/ish_headline][ish_divider][ish_image image=»1678″ align=»center»]Achieve the perfect balance Between an avant-garde and functional kitchen design is not an easy task, especially when you think about the construction of a neuralgic place for lovers of the culinary arts such as the work triangle.

This is the kitchen area where an imaginary triangle is formed, which connects the three most important stations: the storage, washing and cooking area of food.

Know the essential parameters when remodeling your kitchen so that you achieve the comfort you are looking for.[ish_headline]

1. The perfect dimensions

[/ish_headline][ish_divider]Specifying the correct dimensions is key to creating your kitchen from scratch or remodeling it. For this reason, the distance between the three sides of the work triangle must measure between 1.3 and 2.8 meters. This measure will guarantee a comfortable space.

Another important aspect is the sum of the distances of the working triangle, which generally ranges between 4 and 8 meters. Additionally, it would be a mistake to place any piece of furniture that hinders traffic in the area. In fact, the triangle space should be part of the free movement area in the home.

If the kitchen has a linear layout and there is no triangle to work with, it is best to locate the sink, or cleaning station, in the middle, exactly between the storage area and the cooking area. This way you achieve greater spatial balance.
