Kitchen Design Rulebook
Work triangle logic, activity zone sequencing, storage hierarchy, ergonomic clearances, appliance integration, layout rules, Indian kitchen guidance, and an interactive design review checklist — everything in one place.
Planning Principles
A successful kitchen is planned as a sequence of tasks, clearances, utilities, and storage behaviours — not as a collection of cabinets. Contemporary practice treats the kitchen as a set of work zones rather than relying only on the classical triangle.
Freeze the kitchen around five coordinated layers: layout, services, storage, hardware, and finish. When one layer changes late, all five must be rechecked.
