Kitchen zone is the newer concept when planning a kitchen layout compared to the kitchen triangle. It also ensures a smooth workflow. This concept is more applicable for my kitchen design compared to a kitchen triangle. I used a free design software for the images below.
I'm using a G shape kitchen layout as an example.
The 4 main zones:
Storage, Cleaning, Prepping, Cooking
1. Storage
- Consumables- fridge, food pantry
- Non- consumables- cutlery, glassware, dishware
2. Cleaning
- Sink, dish drainer, dishwasher
- Cleaning utensils, kitchen towels
- Garbage bag, garbage bin, recycling bin
3. Prepping
- Knives, chopping board
- Food processor and blender
- Peeler, grater, can opener
- Measuring spoons, cups and mixer bowls
4. Cooking
- Pots & pans, wok, baking trays
- Cooking utensils
- Appliances: hob, hood, oven, microwave oven, rice cooker, slow cooker, pressure cooker
- Seasoning and spices
Others:
- Laundry zone- washing machine & clothes hangers, washing detergent and softener
- Snack & drink zone- breakfast bar, bar fridge, wine glass storage
- Tech zone- Chargers, tablet holder
