The Kitchen 'Working Triangle' Isn't Dead, You're Just Doing It Wrong — 5 Things You Need to Fix

Modern kitchen with marble island and attached seating area, and tall cabinets .

If you're planning a kitchen renovation, you've likely already fallen down the rabbit hole of the dreaded kitchen triangle debate. For some, it's an absolute essential.

At the crux of the matter, though, is not the concept of the 'working triangle' itself, but how exactly you do it.

It introduces logic and flow into your kitchen, and so long as you know the mistakes to avoid, it can be the key to a functional and well-designed space.
