Planning a kitchen around how you actually cook
Master CabinetsStudio Journal
A kitchen plan should start with a conversation about routines, not a catalogue of appliances.
Landing zones
Every appliance needs a surface beside it. Missing landing space is the single most common complaint we hear about kitchens designed on paper.
Storage where the task happens
Spices beside the range, sheet pans beside the oven, glassware beside the sink. Storage that follows the task removes dozens of steps a day.
Leave room for the way you entertain
If the island is where people gather, it should not also be the only prep surface.
