4. Consider appliances lock-out options, allow you to “lock-out” little hands so no one can use them when you are not in the Kitchen. This can be done either with lock-out covers or programmed locked-out systems. Find Safe cook top. Choose burners in the straight row & never choose a unit with control along back of the appliances, it should be front.

5. Use the space safety, think about how traffic will flow throw the Kitchen & make sure no one will interfere with your space while cooking.

6. Locate microwaves 24”- 28” above floor to avoid reaching to retrieve food.

7. Slide-out trays and binds in base cabinets make storage items more accessible so you don’t have to bend.

8. Avoid sharp corners on the ends of counter top, especially islands, & peninsulas, by having them routed.

Full Extension Drawers
Having drawers instead of shelves will save a lot of effort. Full extension drawers pull right out
so that you can see into the backmost corner.

Kitchen Design Tips

Here are a few tips for designing a kitchen layout keeping in mind minimum movement, easy retrievals
of articles and making kitchen chores easy.

1. Vegetable and market items should be close to the entrance. This facilities the placing of items brought from outside, without disturbing the person cooking.

2. Store most frequently used items in the middle of zone between shoulder & hips, store less frequently used items higher up or lower down.

3. The worktop height should suit the person who most frequently works in the kitchens.

4. An efficient damping system to close doors & drawers saliently helps to keep stress levels low.

5. Keep cleaning agents safely away from children with easy lock.

6. Big utensils should be place next to the sink to facilitate minimum movement for washing, consider a special under sink drawer to make best use of often wasted space.

7. Storage of grams spices, rice, oil, should be on one side of the cooking range. Storage of regularly used utensils (pressure cookers, daily Crocker & Cutlery) should be on the other side of the cooking range.

8. Place glass trays and plate trays above the sink. Utensils can be placed on the tray without wiping them; the excess water will drip automatically. This saves the trouble of washing utensils & allowing it to dry and then taking the trouble of placing them on the tray.

9. Fix the dustbin or the bin holder on the shutter, which is mounted below the sink. The detergent pullout should ideally be on the second shutter for keeping detergents and cleaning agents.

10. The use of a tall unit increases the storage capacity substantially. For the same floor space, the storage area is almost double as compared to the storage area of the base and the wall unit combined.

11. A gas-trolley, kitchen keeper, laddle-cradle, and a wall shelf can be used for convenience.

12. The concept of a work triangle while designing the kitchen layout will make cooking a pleasure.
