Sometimes we get so caught up in accepting how things are that we don‘t take any time to question whether we are going in the right direction. Technology has a way of pushing us forward, but sometimes we need to take a break to discover what form of progress is the most appropriate. For example, when electricity first came to New York City, there were layers of power lines attached to all the buildings and power poles everywhere. If we look at the old pictures of Manhattan we can‘t believe how ugly it all was, but to most of the New Yorkers of the period, they never even noticed the chaos. It took someone with just a bit of foresight to realize that burying all the power lines underground was a better way to go.
When it comes to the kitchen, a homeowner chooses comfort over happiness. If you are comfortable with the layout of the kitchen, you may not want to change it. But, remember that you must pay attention to the kitchen because it is the heart of your home. If the kitchen is old and dingy, it can attract the growth of mold and mildew. Also, an old kitchen with a broken countertop or damaged cabinets can cause injury to your family members. As a homeowner, if you are unable to make a decision about remodeling the kitchen, do not worry. Here are a couple of signs that will indicate it is time to take care of the kitchen:
Keep your ceilings tall by putting in scissors trusses. You can make your walls 8 foot tall, but by adding the scissors truss (peak at 13 to 14 feet) will give you lots of visual space and a less confined feeling. And get a skylight in the kitchen. The opening for a skylight can be much bigger than the skylight itself. Get the opening from the peak of the ceiling to the edge of the wall, and locate the skylight near a perpendicular wall so it will disperse the light throughout the kitchen. Put some "niches" in your tall walls above the 8‘ line for greenery, or statues. Put "puck" lights in these niches for accent lighting.
The kitchen work triangle consists of the distance between the sink, refrigerator and range or cooktop. Each one of these areas becomes a focal point in the kitchen and forms the three points of a triangle with different distances between them. Done correctly, proper kitchen design online will give you the most efficient food preparation area layout in your kitchen.
