Kitchen Layouts

Work Triangle

A kitchen design principle where the three primary work stations — sink, stove, and refrigerator — form the points of a triangle. The ideal work triangle keeps each leg between 4 and 9 feet and the total perimeter under 26 feet, ensuring efficient movement between tasks. Modern open kitchens with islands often modify this concept into "work zones" for multiple cooks.
