The kitchen triangle is drawn between the stove, refrigerator and sink.
Running in and out of houses may cause home buyers to forget which house had which. Often a mistake looking at kitchens is they are only remembered as “big” or too “small”.
Some remarkably cozy kitchens have all three work stations within easy reach while larger, spacey kitchens have one point missing–usually the fridge which is located far away from the sink or stove.
When looking at kitchens the popular open layout is important. Yet even more important for daily use is the kitchen triangle.
Walk the triangle and get a feel for the ease or awkwardness of the kitchen layout.
A poor layout will aggravate in future years while countertops, wall paint or flooring are easily changed.
Best to evaluate kitchens starting with their triangle layout of stove, fridge and sink.
Your feet will thank you.
