Kitchen design and renovation: expert tips on layout and storage
Various experts and companies provide guidance on kitchen design, focusing on functionality, storage, and legal considerations during renovations.
In Spain, ixina offers customized kitchen solutions ranging from the MODA COMPACTA to the MODA CHIC, catering to different budgets and space requirements. Interior designer Elena Navarro emphasizes the importance of the 'work triangle'—optimizing the distance between water, cooking, and storage zones—to maximize efficiency in small spaces. She suggests using integrated appliances and handleless doors to create a sense of order and openness.
In Poland, technical regulations highlight the importance of proper ventilation. Improperly connecting kitchen hoods to shared ventilation systems in older buildings can lead to legal issues or fines. Design trends also suggest using high cabinetry to maximize vertical storage and group appliances together to maintain a cohesive layout.
General advice for kitchen planning includes prioritizing ergonomic layouts, such as placing prep areas near sinks and stoves, and ensuring adequate electrical outlets for future appliance upgrades. For small kitchens, vertical storage and reversible solutions are recommended for renters, while homeowners may opt for more structural, custom-made furniture.
