Design Elements In Kitchen Remodeling
When considering a major kitchen remodeling exercise, think of the
kitchen in it's entirety; think of the layout of the entire kitchen
and the optimum utilization of space, even if this requires changing
the locations of many of the features & appliances. The plan should
aim at providing a user friendly layout while still maintaining
functionality of the kitchen.

Functionality will be served better if you think of the daily
activities that focus on the use of the stove, the refrigerator, the
dish washer and such other appliances. Their placement should be such
that they all will be within easy reach so the amount of time and
effort involved in preparing and serving meals is reduced.
