WHY INTERIOR DESIGN DETAILING?
The interior designing process is the heart of any entire architectural project where even
a slightest of detail which looks insignificant to the design might be the most important
element for defining success or failure.
Drawings are used for a variety of purposes
For Idea Generation | As Design and Presentation Media | As a Guide for Construction
• Interior Detailing bridges the gap between design and construction, and shows how
to develop and transform design concepts into details that meet the constraints,
functional requirements, and constructability issues that are part of any interior
design element.
• All those details serve to enhance a room's overall look and is a step to a room's
perfection. Without paying close attention to them, the space just won't look as
polished and as finished as it should.
How the interior designing process works:

STEP 1: Concept and Client
Consultation
The interior designing process
begins at a moment when a designer
takes down notes about the client
requirements and specifications
which help the designer to frame the
unique concept.
STEP 2: Schematic Design
In this phase, designers are
working on space planning
and furniture layout. Minimum
clearances and circulation
patterns are clearly defined
and practiced on the floor
plan.
STEP 3: Design
Development
At the design development
stage, the designer works
further on the schematic
designs which mean the
elevations and the floor
plans in a detailed manner.
STEP 4: Construction Documents
Construction documents serve
two fundamental purposes in the
whole interior designing process:
helps in getting permission from
the local city authority and the
utmost assistance for the
construction of the project.
WORKING DRAWINGS
• A detail in broad terms is a consideration of how
an item is finished and or embellished, what form its
line will take, and its shape, how its surface meets
another surface.
• A building or construction project requires a
complete set of specialised drawings.
• These drawings, called a project set, are used by
the local planning department and building control,
as well as by builders, joiners, plumbers, electricians
and water, gas and telephone engineers.
The buildings are designed by
an architect with a team of
technicians and surveyors to
help plan and produce the
drawings.

The types of drawings are

designed by an architect with a
team of technicians and
surveyors to help plan and
produce the drawing.

INTRODUCTION TO KITCHEN DESIGN

Compiled by the team of

DESIGN
While the house as a whole is among the more traditional and
conservative elements of society, the kitchen is quickest within the
house to reflect new concepts of comfort and convenience. It is
here one finds technology changing fastest. Yet the kitchen’s
traditional role as the hub of family life remains. Merritt Ierley, The
Comforts of Home
WHAT IS KITCHEN DESIGN?
Kitchen interior design is the design and decoration of a kitchen
space. The entire focus of a new kitchen always revolves around
function.

WELL PLANNED KITCHEN

Cooking in a well planned kitchen where everything has been
carefully thought out and designed for maximum ease of use is a
PLEASURE and NOT A CHORE.

The major portion of homemakers total work time four to five hours
is spent on cooking and other activities related to feeding the
family which is approximately one-fourth of a life span.
KITCHEN ERGONOMICS
ERGONOMICS
Ergonomic kitchen spaces are another great way to save time and
energy and efficient ergonomic kitchen requires less stress in
looking out for the utensils and ingredients in the kitchen. So the
kitchen should be well planned and comfortable.

Ergonomic plays a vital role in designing a kitchen area free from

fatigue, reduction of unnecessary movement and excessive
expenditure of human energy and time.

The main component of ergonomics is incomplete without

anthropometry and posture.

Women’s vertical reach is of critical significance for the layout of

cupboard space and shelves.

Posture habits are important factor in designing the kitchen. A

well maintained posture enables the body to function most
effectively in the activities like bending, reaching, lifting things
where both the use of limb is important with least expenditure of
energy and maximum amount of strain.
ERGONOMICS
The Do’s and Don’t’s
The right depth of your wall
unit
If the depth of the wall unit is too
much, you will end up banging
your head on it every time.
Ideally, the depth should not be
more than 300 mm, when your
countertop is 600 mm.
Choose lift-ups over hinged
shutters
Hinged shutters are often cumbersome,
when you have to keep opening and
closing them. You also end up hitting
your head, if left open. Lift-ups move up
and out of the way, so that you can leave
your cabinet open, while you cook,
making it easy for you to view and
remove the items in it.
Choose drawers over
cupboards
It is often difficult to stretch and
reach into the back of
cupboards, and sometimes
painful too…especially for your
back. Choose drawers and a full
extension option to make pulling
anything out, or reaching to the
back of the drawer, easy and
painless.
The right height of your
countertop
The countertop should not be too
high, or too low, but be at just the
right height for the person cooking.
The right gap between the work-top
and your elbows should be 10-15 cm.

ZONING
STEP 1 Divide your kitchen into five zones.
• Consumables zone: The area used to store most of your food. This may actually be
split into two zones: one for your refrigerator (fresh food) and one for your pantry or
food cabinets (dry goods, oils, etc.)
• Non-consumables zone: The area used to store everyday dishes, including plates,
bowls, glasses, and silverware.
• Cleaning zone: The area that contains the sink and dishwasher (if you have one).
• Preparation zone: The area where most of your kitchen prep happens. This may be a
stretch of countertop, or a kitchen island.
• Cooking zone: The area that contains the stovetop, oven, or range, and possibly the
microwave.

Most kitchens can be divided up into these areas. Even if you

have a tiny apartment galley kitchen, you still probably have the
essentials: a fridge (consumables zone), some cabinets (non-
consumables zone), a sink (cleaning zone), a little countertop
space (preparation zone), and a stove (cooking zone). Once
you’ve mapped out your zones, you’re ready for the next step.
ZONING
STEP 2 Store items as close to their related zone as possible.
The point of dividing your kitchen into zones is so you can store things in
the right place to improve your cooking flow! For example, knives, mixing
bowls, chopping boards, spices, and other prep utensils should be stored
where you do most of your prep work, in the preparation zone. Cooking
utensils, pots, pans, and bakeware should be stored as close to or near
the stove or oven, in the cooking zone.

STEP 3
Store your everyday dishes in the cabinet closest to the sink or
dishwasher.
Digging into the details on this a little more, this diagram notes you
should store your everyday dishes (the non-consumables) right
next to the cleaning area, or where your sink and dishwasher are.
This makes a lot of sense when you think about it. What are you
normally unloading from the dishwasher? All your everyday plates,
glasses, and silverware! So whatever cabinet is closest to your dish
rack or dishwasher, that’s where you should store your dishes if
possible.
ZONING
STEP 4 Create prep space as close to the stove as possible.

Another thing we noticed in this diagram is how the prep area is

situated next to the stove. We agree. We note that one of the most
important things in setting up a kitchen is to have adequate counter
space close to the stove. Ideally you shouldn’t have to take more than a
few steps to put your prepped food into a pot on your stovetop, or in
the oven.
If you don’t have a lot of existing countertop space next to your stove,
this is where you need to get creative! Whatever space you do have,
clear it off and prioritize it as a prep space. Remove the microwave and
move the fruit bowl! You need that space to chop vegetables or mix
ingredients, so let it be just that.
STEP 5
Of course, keeping items precisely within their zone isn’t always entirely
possible if your kitchen is tiny and you need to, say, store your bakeware
on top of the cabinets, or the only available pantry space is in a cabinet
across the room from the fridge. But this idea of seeing your kitchen as a
collection of zones and grouping things together by their purpose is
something to work towards! There will always be exceptions unless you
have a perfect kitchen.

WHAT IS A BASE CABINET?

A base cabinet is a cabinet built

expressly for kitchens and bathrooms
that rests on the floor and supports
holds other items such as
countertops, cooktops, and sinks.

Base cabinets set the

footprint for your floor
plan and bear most of
your everyday work.

Base cabinets are

mounted on the floor
that support the
countertops and are
well suited for
kitchens.

•Require separate skin panels to be
installed on site, on exposed sides.
•More options in sizes and
modifications in a framed cabinet line.
Frameless Cabinets
•This style offers a sleeker, modern look
that’s popular in Europe.
•Offers full access to the cabinet
interior, and larger drawer box capacity.
•Cabinet sides are ordered finished at
the factory.
•More fillers are recommended in the
design, to assure minimum clearance is
met for door and drawer openings. (see
image below)
•Less options in sizes and modifications
due to the difference or limitation of the
construction.
WALL UNITS
WHAT IS A WALL CABINET?
Wall cabinet is the term used to
describe the top cabinetry that is
suspended above the counter
space, as opposed to the base
cabinets that sit on the floor.

Wall cabinets as the name

suggests are mounted to the wall.
These are also called upper
cabinets/overhead cabinet or
uppers.
These cabinets have design
flexibility with multiple
widths and custom depth
options.

These cabinets can extend

to the ceilings to be used
as spaces for storing
infrequently used serveware
and cookware.

TALL UNITS
WHAT IS A TALL CABINET?
A tall cabinet is also known as a
pantry cabinet which can be
extended from floor to ceiling. It
provides as much as four cubic
feet more storage than a wall and
base cabinet. As a pantry, it gives
storage for everything from small
appliances to canned goods.

Tall cabinets are often used for pantry

and utility storage, with the ability to
accommodate large or unwieldy items,
from bulk food supplies, to mops and
brooms.

WHAT IS A OULL OUT?
A roll-out shelf, also known as a glide-out
shelf, pull-out shelf or slide-out shelf is
a shelf that can be moved forward on
slides in order to more easily reach the
contents stored in the back of a cupboard
or cabinet.

DRAWERS
WHAT IS A DRAWER

A drawer is a sliding compartment

that fits into a dresser and is used
for storage. Dressers have drawers,
and so do other pieces of furniture,
including desks, bureaus, and
kitchen cabinets.

Drawers allow the space to be

accessed without having to open
doors and pull out a shelf, so may
offer less of an obstacle to traffic
flow in the kitchen.
Deep kitchen drawer storage is the
perfect place to keep pots and
pans. These are often difficult to
store inside kitchen cabinets as it's
hard to reach one without having to
pull out a few others first. Having
them in a drawer means you can
grab just what you need.
• Use of space is
optimized by product size
• Items easy to locate with
full extension drawers
• Close spaced shelves
set at eye level for
common items
• Wider spaced shelves at
top and bottom for larger
items

Wicker baskets are made by weaving organic reed, cane, grass,
branches, roots or man-made products into containers used for
storing, carrying or displaying things. Their uses are in fact
endless. They can be large or small, have handles, open tops or
lids, be hung on a wall or sit on a table or the ground.

What is corner unit?

A corner cabinet is a specially designed cabinet

that will maximize the usable space of a corner.
Because of the natural obstructions created by
perpendicular doors or the difficulty of being able
to reach into a cabinet deeper than 24
inches/600mm, a corner cabinet must use a non-
standard configuration.
