all about cooking
The kitchen is basically that part of the house where that favorite thing of almost everyone on the planet is prepared: food! In the kitchen the dishes are prepared, cooked, plated and then served in the dining room or area.
In order for a kitchen to truly fulfill its intended purpose, it must have the right dimensions. When we say dimensions, we basically refer to the size, that is, the width, the length and the diameter, and the composition or components of the kitchen. The kitchen should also have adequate space so that people can move faster and easier.
About average kitchen dimensions
The average kitchen in a residential home is typically around 300 square feet, or a room or space that is 30 feet by 10 feet in dimension. It is also possible for this space to have equal measurements on all sides, giving us a kitchen that is 15 feet long and the same width as well. These measurements would be enough to keep things moving quickly and smoothly in a kitchen.
In the meantime, if you don’t secure a room to use as a kitchen, you could go for more innovative and space-saving solutions like kitchen layouts. Kitchen designs are basically what one opts for when the kitchen area i.e. the place where one prepares and cooks food will also be placed right in the dining area. That said, we could say here that the kitchen and dining room would be sharing the same space.
There are five types of kitchen layouts that a homeowner might use. These are the single file, double file, block or island, L-shaped and U-shaped kitchen designs. The single-row kitchen, also known as the one-way galley kitchen, is basically one area of kitchen that is aligned against a wall. Double stock kitchen, on the other hand, is also called a two-way galley kitchen in which the kitchen elements are divided into two rows. Typically, this is the layout used if the dining room table is placed smack dab in the center of the room. The block or island kitchen, on the other hand, is a variation of the single-row kitchen, in which all the kitchen elements are in one line, but they are not placed against the wall but in the center of the area. This is generally employed when there is not much space in the residential area and it is only a small apartment or condominium unit.
L-shaped and U-shaped kitchens, on the other hand, are said to be the most innovative and space-efficient solution, as the workflow tends to be smooth here.
