📏 Is Your Kitchen Layout Costing You Space? How to Tell
Kitchen layout & space planning from Brandom Kitchens & Bath Design Centre
Before you pick a single cabinet door, pick the layout. It decides how the kitchen works for the next 20 years.
Brandom Kitchens & Bath Design Centre in Courtice plans kitchen layouts for homes in Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville and Ajax using the guidelines designers rely on:
1️⃣ Keep the fridge, sink and cooktop in a compact triangle, each leg roughly 4 to 9 feet
2️⃣ Leave about 42" for walkways with one cook, 48" if two people cook together
3️⃣ Allow 36" to 48" of clearance around an island
4️⃣ Keep counter space beside the fridge and on both sides of the cooktop
If your kitchen misses two or more of these, a layout change often helps more than new cabinets alone. 🔄
