Expert Tips for Functional Kitchen Planning
A successful kitchen layout prioritizes the 'work triangle'—the distance between the sink, refrigerator, and stove. Ideally, the sum of these three distances should be between 13 and 26 feet to ensure efficiency without feeling cramped. For kitchens with an island, ensure there is at least 42 to 48 inches of clearance between the island and the perimeter cabinets to allow for comfortable traffic flow and appliance door opening. If you are planning a seating area at an island, allow for 24 inches of width per person and 12 to 18 inches of legroom depth. Standard base cabinets are 24 inches deep, while upper cabinets are typically 12 to 15 inches deep. When using this tool, include these specifics to get the most accurate conceptual layout. Remember that while these plans are to-scale for visualization, they are intended for conceptual planning and should be verified by a professional contractor before any demolition or construction begins.

How do I specify the 'work triangle' in the prompt?
Simply describe the placement of your three main zones. For example, 'place the sink on the north wall, the stove on the east wall, and the fridge on the west wall' to create a functional layout.
