Planning your kitchen design is a careful balancing act between aesthetics and function, and no time is this clearer than when deciding the placement and positioning of your kitchen appliances. It's a tricky line to walk, and can quickly result in one of these common appliance positioning mistakes.
The best kitchens are the ones that understand the importance of respecting the natural workflow of the space and place the appliances accordingly. And that doesn't just mean following the same old work triangle; it's all about taking a more individual, personal approach to your kitchen design, and knowing where to place kitchen appliances in a way that reflects the way you actually use them. Frequent coffee drinker? Place that machine front and center. Chronic back pain sufferer? Raise your dishwasher off the floor, and eliminate the need to constantly bend over when unloading.
