The kitchen work triangle will never go out of style, but a new concept in kitchen design is emerging and we think you’ll like it. It takes the idea of work zones to the next level. Traditionally the work triangle included efficient spacing between the refrigerator, sink and range. But this new approach is expanding that idea to include designated areas for other common kitchen tasks. With everyone spending more time at home, the addition of specialty stations for drinks, snack, homework and work-at-home is gaining momentum. This is a real plus, especially when we are spending more time at home and all using the kitchen at once.
Kitchen Zones
Multiple and flexible zones are a personalized way to design a kitchen that includes sophisticated storage, integrated appliances and statement backsplashes. This lovely example features Shiloh Cabinetry for a remodel by Stebnitz Builders.
