Kitchen question

 What is the most important concept to consider in the kitchen premises for yourselves and others?

• Safety for everyone—whether the appliance choices and floorplan layout allow those working in the kitchen to do so safely. Kitchen users vary in height—someone over six feet tall will not have the same wants and needs as someone around five feet tall or in a wheelchair.
• Work triangle—affects efficiency and safety.
• Counter space—multiple small appliances are contributing to the need for more counter space. My mother had enough counter space for the dirty dishes and the sink drainer, her mother used the kitchen table and had no counter space. The counter space that was adequate ten years ago seems restrictive today.
• Storage—with the abundance of new small appliances comes the need for more storage. There was a trend where pantries were eliminated in homes. Smaller kitchens need one or some type of extra storage space. I use a set of chrome shelves, a baker’s rack will work also. My rarely used kitchen supplies are stored in a separate building. Inconvenient? Yes, but it works.
