Common Design Myths Debunked
When did designer
ideas become rules we are to follow? Many of these rules do not make
much sense at all. Whether you plan to build or remodel it can
become a taxing and difficult project. There are decisions most would
never think to ask. Then of course those complicated rules. Rules
that could cost you efficiency in your kitchen. Or rules that destroy
the design and look you had hoped for. So let's take a look at a few
of my most common so called rules I come upon frequently.
- The
amount of space between the island countertop and other countertops
needs to be more than 36”. I prefer 48” when possible and is a
must for a two cook kitchen. If you have a single cook kitchen then
plan for at least 42” of space.
- Many
people feel the dishwasher should be placed in conjunction to
whether you are right or left handed. Not true. Dishwashers can be
designed into your kitchen design where it works best for you. Since
humans are creatures of habit, it won't take long to become pleased
with the dishwasher location.
-
Stop
and think about how often you actually look out your window when
washing dishes. Exactly! Why be forced to put the sink under the
window then? In the early days of kitchens the sink was needed there
to toss out the used water. In our present day kitchens we are free
to design the kitchen sink where it works best for you.
- Even
though the rules would allow a tiny island in the kitchen, why? You
might have a small landing space while you destroy the flow of the
kitchen. Your kitchen becomes cramped and not as enjoyable.
The Expense for Designers is to Great
We disagree -
When you try designing your own kitchen usually
there are mistakes that have to be fixed along the way. This extends
the down time which usually cost money and patience. By hiring a
