Press Release Summary = Here are my thoughts of planning the ideal kitchen. Here are
my kitchen design tips I have learnt through experience over the last 20 years.


Press Release Body =
Ideally there should be easy access between the kitchen and the doorstep or main
entrance of the house.

This means easy delivery of your groceries and also easy disposal of garbage and waste.

Ideally the stove should be located as near as possible to the wide open air space
or outdoors and yet within the confines of shelter from wind, rain and the sun.

This serves two purposes. Firstly when you fry oily food this allows the oil and
grease vapor to escape into the open air instead of settling onto the walls of the
kitchen cabinets . You have to spend much time cleaning these areas. Secondly, this
will be a safety measure. In case of leaking gas from gas pipe or cylinders the
cooking gas will be emitted to the outdoors rather than filling the whole home with
gas and potentially killing everyone due to gas poisoning .

Consider placing the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator upon a concrete platform or
base. This means that it will be easier to wash, mop or clean the kitchen floor
without wetting and corroding the kitchen cabinets. It will also prevent the
electrical appliances from being damage by water seeping in.

Next , there should not be spaces or gaps between the cabinet ,stove and sink and
the floor. By removing the space this prevents cockroaches and other pest from
residing in the dark corners.

Your kitchen should be water proof and use heavy duty and high grade materials so
that it will not rot or break. This is especially so in the area surrounding the
sink. Things can get easily corroded and spoil due to the water splashes and
spilling from the sink. Do not used wood for your cabinets below the sink. If
possible construct the area around the sink and stove using concrete or stone for
the base and granite tiles for the surface for maximum durability.

I prefer a built in oven placed at work top level height so there is no need to bend
over to look at the state of the cooking . It is also easier to place the meat in
the oven and to take it out the cooked food.

Most importantly, there should always sufficient work top space between the sink and
the hob so that space can be used for food preparation.

You must plan the kitchen design carefully. Review and check everything before
proceeding . If you intend to cover water pipes and sewage pipes during renovation,
please inspect and check for leaking pipes and repair before proceeding to renovate
. Otherwise water from the faulty pipes will spoil the kitchen cabinets.

Also consult your kitchen designer on the location of your electrical outlets .
These should be located where the appliances will be positioned. For example
appliances such as your kettle , microwave oven, dish water , oven, hob and hood,
refrigerator and rice cooker. Before renovation , also take note of existing
electrical sockets which needs to be re located.
