In interior design, the concept of ergonomics is to make our surroundings in such a way that they complement us healthily and practically. Being forced to constantly reach, strain, stoop, and bend can cause chronic pains and permanent damage. In addition to that, the sheer frustration one has to face during tasks like cooking and cleaning up. No matter how perfect a kitchen layout may look, but your client won’t be satisfied if it hurts their back to utilize it.

Importance of intelligent design

Architects and designers increasingly realize the importance of kitchen planning and the value of making an intelligent kitchen layout. They are introducing ergonomic kitchen design ideas into both compact and big cooking spaces. Besides increasing productivity, an ergonomic kitchen also maximizes efficiency and makes the cooking process more comfortable. The kitchen can become a space of comfort rather than pain by carefully combining ergonomic kitchen design ideas in appliances, accessories, and kitchen layout.

This article will discuss different ergonomics of a kitchen layout and how these are incorporated in an intelligent design. Go through this article to get a lot of practical knowledge to use in your valuable client’s kitchen.

Start with introducing a kitchen work triangle

A classic work triangle connects three important kitchen spots – the cooktop (cooking zone), the refrigerator (storage zone), and the sink (cleaning zone). To move freely between each zone and work better, it is essential to have an optimum space between these three areas. Generally, when kitchen planning is done with ergonomics in mind, the length of each side of the triangle ranges between 4-9 feet(. The length of all three sides of the triangle is kept between 13-26 feet. Islands, tables, cabinets, and other partial-height obstacles should not get into the triangle more than 12 inches. And other full-height obstacles, like floor-to-ceiling cabinets, must not intrude into the triangle. And also, you should avoid traffic flow through the triangle.

Another modern approach: Kitchen zoning

Making work zones while kitchen planning is another approach that layers nicely onto the kitchen triangle concept. The zone theory divides the kitchen layout by function instead of focusing on the distance between appliances. Each of the functional zones in zone theory has everything you need for that particular series of tasks. Here’s how it is commonly divided:

• Food storage (pantry, refrigerator)
• Food prep (cooktop, microwave, oven, small appliances, spices, mixing bowls, cutting boards, etc.)
• Pots and pans
• Cleaning and waste (sink, dishwasher, cleaning supplies, compost bins, and garbage)
• Plates and cutlery (cutlery, glasses, bowls, plates, electric tea kettle, and coffee maker)
