5 Layout Issues That You Should Tackle In Your Kitchen Design

Kitchen design layouts are the most challenging to design in Singapore because you have to work with a limited amount of space while delivering maximum impact. So, if you’re struggling with a kitchen remodel and are still stuck in the planning phases, here are 5 tips that will definitely help you out a lot. Let’s take a look:

1. Having enough aisle space

The first advice that you should always respect is leaving enough aisle space. Don’t be too glamorized by complicated kitchen layouts and never bite off more than your space can handle. While the minimum aisle space between two kitchen counters is supposed to be four feet, you can definitely add on a few more on that value to make sure that your space delivers the best movability.

2. Keep the fridge accessible

What’s the one part of the kitchen that everyone is always reaching for? It’s the fridge actually. It’s an inevitable fact that most of the people in the household come around often to rummage in the fridge. So, keep that in mind while designing the kitchen layout, and place the refrigerator to the side, where the family can easily access it without having to walk through the whole kitchen.

3. Don’t waste steps

It’s a total given that you’re usually working with a small space in most Singaporean homes, so it doesn’t really make sense to waste any steps. This basically means that you must keep the work-related areas as close as possible, so that you wouldn’t have to walk around unnecessarily throughout the space.

4. Don’t waste the counter space

The layout should be designed to respect the amount of counter space that you have. It’s impossible to have more counter space than a third of your layout, so using it wisely is the key. Make sure you utilize it fully and most efficiently without wasting even a bit of that precious space.

5. Have enough landing space

Lastly, but most importantly, it’s important to design landing spaces within the layout. These include the few feet of space in front of the oven, and on the side of the appliances so that you can maneuver around them as easily as you can.
