How to Design the Kitchen, the Pantry and the Laundry

Kitchens: The Smart Approach to Design
The kitchen is a workplace within the housing, but for the housewife or househusband it’s also a place where to stay for many hours. If the kitchen counts with a place for eating, it usually ends up as a meeting place for the family.

How to Design a Kitchen

While designing a kitchen is necessary to take into account the size of the family, whether the components are right or left-handed, the height of the housewife or househusband and the suitable working height. You should always match the height of work surfaces up to users to take care of their posture; this is achieved by regulating the height of the baseboards.
The kitchen design should try to save efforts and get a fluid workspace with sufficient freedom of movement. To optimize the work carried out in a kitchen it’s essential that each job is rationally designed. To ensure that the work can be done in the shortest possible time, cabinets, work surfaces and equipment should be located in the proper sequence.
When designing the lighting in the kitchen, it is important to avoid shadows on the working plane.

The Small Kitchen Design

Actually, the usable working area is more important than the size of the kitchen, but the fact is that, very often, the kitchens are too small. None of them should be less than 8 sq. m. If the width of the kitchen is less than 2.40 m, it may be preferable to arrange the furniture in just one side or adopting L-shape.
The smaller the kitchen, the more careful the design. In smaller kitchens it’s important to select clear finishing for both the ground and the walls.

The Kitchen Pantry

Kitchen pantries should be cool, must count with easy ventilation and should have sun protection. Of course, they should have shelves, preferably up until they reach the ceiling.

The Laundry Room

The laundry room is used for washing, as a storage room for cleaning utensils, for ironing and, sometimes, for sewing. The laundry room must be designed with special attention for the comfort of work.
