A kitchen should have a work top, ample storage, washing and cooking area. The storage includes the fridge space and cabinets for utensils. However, this depends on the area of the room. The basic principle is to have a triangular operation. This is where the storage, cooking and washing appear to be the three tips of a triangle. These are opposite each other. In a small room, the line system of storage, washing and cooking also will work.

A plan for a small kitchen is to use a single wall. This is normally the longest wall. The sink is positioned below a window and it has storage space below. The fridge and the cooking area are place on either side of the sink. This will give more efficiency when working in the room. This means the arrangement will be set on one wall. The space on each side of the window should have upper shelves. Only the cooking area is left without top cabinets.

Kitchens in larger rooms can be made to be two or three wall compartments. The three wall style allows for a breakfast area within the room. The two wall module has a passage between the facilities. Usually the external door is place at the center. One side has the cooker and fridge positioned. The opposite side has the counter top and the washing sink on the other side. The sink is placed near the door way. The cooker is placed away from the door.

In greater rooms, the tree wall module is adopted. This has the work tops spread out within the room. The kitchen sink is placed below the window and work tops placed on both sides. The water heater is placed in a compartment on the same side. The fridge and breakfast counter are on one side. This side will have high and low level storage cabinets. The cooker is kept opposite the fridge with work tops on both sides. The tops should have cabinets below.
