For many the kitchen is the heart of the
home. This is where families gather to cook the meal that will sustain them for
the day. It is the first place people go to find solace when they feel down. It
is where most of the socializing begins and where most end. For all intents and
purposes the kitchen is as important as the bedroom or even more so.
That’s why it’s no surprise that homeowners
spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars renovating their kitchens to their
liking. You are probably thinking of doing the same thing. Personalizing your
kitchen to suit your needs is one thing. However, you should not forget to
incorporate basic kitchen design conventions that make the kitchen the heart of
the home.
One of the first things you want to
consider as part of your kitchen design is the ‘golden triangle.’ This is the
supposed triangle formed between your refrigerator, sink and cooking top. The
typical rule is that each of these objects has to be no more than meters apart.
