Locate the three essential parts of our kitchen design ¨C the refrigerator, sink and range/cooktop. The kitchen work triangle close together but not crowded, from 5 to 8 feet (1.5m to 2.4m) apart. The work triangle has always been the very essence of good kitchen design. By  kitchen design conventional rules, the cis the shortest walking distance from the center front of each appliance, the kitchen work triangle should total 26 feet (8m) or less, with no single leg of triangle shorter than 4 feet (1.23m) nor longer than 9 feet (2.74m), and we should be able to walk in unobstructed lines from cooking appliances to sink to refrigerator.   A large triangle would require too much walking; a smaller one would create a cramped layout. That why we need to consider seriously of the kitchen work triangle in our kitchen design.
