The golden triangle setup ensures you’re working as efficiently as possible when you’re cooking and cleaning.
“Taking fewer steps is always better when dealing with fire, hot water, and sharp knives!”
“Start with the floor plan and think through all the details.
“The reach span for someone five foot two versus someone six foot two is very different.”
Being able to do prep meals and do the dishes with ease is a must.”
Large kitchens can also sometimes require moving beyond the golden triangle.
In some big, splashy kitchens, features may be arranged for aesthetic effect, rather than functional reasons.
The sink may also be placed to take advantage of beautiful views while you’re doing dishes.
