HOW TO DESIGN KITCHEN
:- IT’S IMPORTANT
TO DEFINE A MODULE
TO OPTIMISE
PERFOMANCE AND
MINIMISE THE

HOW THE WORKSPACE SHOULD BE LIKE

PANTRY AREA :- FOOD STORAGE SPACE,

CANNED GOODS, FRIDGE
STORAGE AREA :- APPLIANCES, UTENSILS,
COOKWARE
SINK AREA :- CLEANING AREA
PREPARATION AREA :- IDEALLY A LARGE
COUNTER SPACE TO
WORK ON
COOKING AREA :- STOVE AND OVEN.
 TYPES OF KITCHEN

THIS IS RELATED TO THE SPACE THAT THE DESIGN IS INTENDED FOR. THE MOST COMMONLY USED
TYPES INCLUDE:
LINEAR (OR TWO PARALLEL LINES)
L-SHAPED
U-SHAPED
THE MODUAL CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS

LOWER MODULE: 1 BOTTOM / 1 BACK / 2 SIDES / 1 SHELF / 1 OR 2 DOOR / BASE / FRAME BARS
UPPER MODULE: 1 BOTTOM / 1 BACK / 2 SIDES / 1 TOP / 1 SHELF / 1 OR 2 DOORS / FRAME BARS
TOWER MODULE 1 BOTTOM / 1 BACK / 2 SIDES / 1 TOP / SERIES OF SHELVES AND DOORS / BASE

COUNTERTROPES

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF MATERIALS FOR

COUNTERTOPS. THE MOST COMMONLY USED ARE:

LAMINATE: THE BARE COUNTER IS COVERED WITH

A SHEET OF HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE

STONE:THE MOST COMMONLY USED TYPES ARE

QUARTZ, GRANITE AND MARBLE

OTHER: MATERIALS GENERALLY DERIVED FROM A

COMPOUND SUCH AS ACRYLIC
 BASEBOARDS

:- IN THE PART OF THE CABINATE, IT IS THE BEST TO HAVE A PRODUCT WITH

INCREASED RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE, LIKE LAMINATE COVERED PLYWOOD.
:- ANOTHER OPTION IS TO ADD A METAL OR PLASTIC ACCESSORIES.
ADJUSTMENT OF SPACE
 RECOMMENDATIONS
:- USE SCREW PROTECTORS. THESE CAN BE HIDDEN WITH THE USE OF WOODEN DOWELS.
THE PROCESS IS SLOWER AND MORE EXPENSIVE BUT LEAVES A BETTER APPEARANCE.

:- DISTANCING THE COUNTER TOP FROM THE CABINET IS A TREND. HOWEVER, WHEN
DOING THIS YOU SHOULD LEAVE A LARGE ENOUGH SPACE (IDEALLY 30CM OR MORE) SO
THAT IT IS EASY TO CLEAN. TIGHT SPACES MEAN MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE
FURNITURE FROM USING WIPES OR A BROOM.

:- THE BASEBOARDS MUST BE MADE OF MORE RESISTANT MATERIALS. IT RECOMMENDED

NOT TO USE THE SAME MELAMINE AS THE CABINETS SINCE YOU WON’T GET THE SAME
LIFETIME USE AT FLOOR LEVEL.
:- THE QUALITY OF THE HARDWARE IS ESSENTIAL WHEN CREATING QUALITY
FURNITURE. ITS LIFE IS MEASURED IN CYCLES AND THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL
VARIATIONS BETWEEN HARDWARE OF LOW AND HIGH QUALITY. A GOOD HINGE
DETERMINES WHETHER OR NOT THE CABINET DOOR WILL FALL OFF.

:- WHEN DESIGNING HANDLELESS FURNITURE YOU HAVE TO USE A CERTAIN LOGICAL

ORDER FOR OPENING THE DOORS. IDEALLY, USE DOUBLE DOOR MODULES AND IF
THERE IS A SPACE FOR A MODULE WITH A SINGLE DOOR, PUT IT IN THE CORNER.
:- WHEN USING DOORS ABOVE APPLIANCES (OVEN, MICROWAVE) LEAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR
YOUR HAND.
