The process of planning a kitchen requires extensive thought to be put into what you want in your work space and where your want it fitted. All the desired features need to be listed and then prioritized based on space and budget constraints.

While every kitchen is unique to its owner, it is worthwhile to keep a few basics in mind while planning a kitchen. Generally, there are four essential work areas in a kitchen:

The Cooking Area

The cooking are is the principle feature of any kitchen. The cooking range, microwave, in-built ovens etc need to organized for maximum utility in the cooking area. They should be placed close to each other and sufficient space should be present on either side of each appliance. The room required around each appliance differs as per its use. Our experts will help you design the area for maximum convenience based on your requirements.

The Cleaning Area

This is the area in which the sink, the dishwasher and the garbage disposal are fitted. The sink should have adequate room around it for you to stack, both your dirty as well as your clean dishes and cooking paraphernalia. It is most convenient to have a cabinet or shelf to keep your cleaning supplies and a garbage disposal system below the sink in the cleaning area.

The Storage Area

Storage space is an integral part of all kitchen and requires the most creativity and skill to utilize every square inch of space most profitably. Since space is always at a premium, storage area in the form cabinets, shelves, drawers, closets and lofts should be largely planned above and below all counter space.

Sliding doors on cabinets and shelves are better for saving space, instead of the traditional doors which open outwards. Using glass panes on kitchen cabinet/storage doors is more convenient for locating stored items and create a more lively and spacious looking kitchen. Keep in mind though, that you do not hinder the entry of natural light into the kitchen by creating cabinets.

The Preparation Area

In this area, most of the cutting, chopping, mixing, grinding and blending is done. There should be ample work area on the counter to keep cutting boards, pots and pans handy, and for the use of a blender or food processor, if required. The counter top should have an easy to clean surface, for example marble.

The refrigerator should, ideally, be situated in or near this area. Also, there should be a storage space designed below and above the preparation are for storing ingredients and knives, chopping boards, mixing bowls, measuring cups, scoops, ladles, spoons etc.

The Serving Area

Some also prefer to have a serving area in their kitchens such as a breakfast bar overlooking a window, balcony or the dining area. Usually, in an open plan kitchen the serving area is basically a space for you to set bowls and pans. This is, however, completely dependant on the amount of space available and is frequently not on the top of the list of priorities for most.
