However, the above nuances are not all that is needed for the proper organization of kitchen space. Still need to use the rule of the working triangle.
All components of furniture for the kitchen, ranging from cabinets and pumping sink, must be placed on the basis of certain rules of ergonomics, safety and convenience. It is not for nothing that there is the science of feng shui, whose laws are taken into account by many designers. Its principles can be correlated with the rule of the working triangle, and it is easy to explain the location of things in one place or another.
Functional and ergonomic kitchen interior
The main areas in the working triangle are:
It may seem attractive to many to install a sink next to a stove, as well as a refrigerator in the sink. But such an arrangement of technology is not justified. The refrigerator will be contaminated all the time, and the fat during the cooking process will splash the washed dishes. Water from the tap will fall on a hot griddle. This is inconvenient, impractical and insecure. No wonder in Feng Shui can not be placed elements of the elements of fire and water in close proximity to each other.

An example of built-in appliances for kitchen furniture
To get the most optimal design of kitchen furniture, you need to initially decide what built-in appliances will be used now or a little later.
To embedded technology include:
- washing machine;
- dishwasher;
- fridge;
- hob and oven, or a standard stove, etc.
The designer must be warned in advance about the dimensions of the built-in appliances, which are selected for the kitchen.
Location near the stove and refrigerator in a very small kitchen
Not recommended location near the stove and refrigerator. Since it is heated, the energy consumption of the refrigerator will increase, which can damage it. The distance from the worktop and to the refrigerator should also be thought out, because often it gets sprayed during the cooking process, which complicates the care of the kitchen. Between the refrigerator and the table top you need to provide a distance of at least 15 cm.
Do not forget about the hood. It has the following accommodation standards (from it to the hob):
- for electric 70-75 cm;
- for the gas stove 75-80 cm.
