Kitchen Design Mistakes

Common mistakes can make or break the design of a kitchen space. These mistakes though can be avoided and identified during the planning phases itself and if so can end saving you plenty of cash on re-fixes. A layout that isn’t practical is most common mistake witnessed in most kitchen installations.  Layouts that have pad placements of the kitchen triangle are often a common cause. Ideally the sink, the refrigerator and the stove that form the kitchen triangle needs to be placed within 7-8 feet apart for smooth functioning and better efficiency while you cook.

The kitchen triangle if ignored would lead to cooking tasks being a tiresome activity as you would not have ease of access to the kitchen essentials. Lack of planning for storage space is another commonly known of kitchen design mistake that leads to plenty of clutter left around the countertops leaving the place to look messy and untidy. Keep in mind to leave sufficient storage space while you design the area as none of it is enough, so there more of it you have available the better.

Not having sufficient natural and artificial lighting is another commonly found mistake in kitchen design layouts. Natural lighting is essential to allow fresh air and sunlight into the room to keep the area fresh and airy. An improper artificial plan also has drawbacks as you will notice the room to be appear dull and boring and above all you will have shadows cast over the countertops when the lighting is imbalanced.
