Important to share an old principle of kitchen design, called the KITCHEN TRIANGLE RULE. It is a simple concept that has been proven necessary to obtain functional results. Such theory states that a kitchen's three main work areas: the sink, the refrigerator, and the stove should form, a triangle. each side of the triangle should measure no less than four feet and no more than nine feet and, ideally, the perimeter of the triangle should be no less than 13 feet and no more than 26 feet. In other words, not too small and not too large.
