Ergonomic Kitchen Planning: Optimised Workflow

Find   Efficient   Layout   For   Your   Kitchen!

First and foremost, alongside personal preference, your modern custom kitchen design will depend on what the space dictates. Existing sockets, the room size, doors and windows are usually decisive when it comes to arranging a kitchen.   The good news is that every kitchen layout can be optimized for efficient workflow to make cooking and meal preparation a seamless experience.

​

Ergonomic design kitchen layout incorporates the kitchen work triangle - a time-tested concept that connects the three important work areas - the cooktop, sink and refrigerator. The distance between these three areas is minimized and unobstructed so that one can easily multi-task between cooking, cleaning and food preparation. Learn about kitchen remodeling costs.

Expert Tips for Custom Ergonomic Kitchen Design

VelArt's Tips for Making Your Kitchen Marathon Effortless

Workflow Triangle: When it comes to kitchen remodeling, the concept to the workflow triangle is a game-changer. Our expert advice emphasizes the efficient work triangle, ensuring your stove, sink, and refrigerator are strategically placed for optimal movement. You need to make sure there's enough counter space next to these key areas, especially next to the sink and stove.

 

Safety: Safety is also a top priority in VelArt's custom design ergonomic kitchens. We incorporate features such as soft-closing doors and drawers, and ample lighting to create a safe environment for cooking and food preparation.

 

High-End Options: Consider custom design high-end kitchen that can be enhanced with features like motorized Aventos system, paneled appliances, soft closed drawer system, pull-out shelves, adjustable-height countertops, glass cabinets and LED lights. These elements can make cooking and cleaning more comfortable and reduce strain on your body. 

 

Opt for Multifunctional Island: A multifunctional kitchen island provides additional counter space, storage, and seating. You can also choose an island with built-in features like a sink, cooktop, or wine fridge to maximize its functionality.

Kitchen workflows
  • Stop items falling. The combination of drawers with closed sides and high back panels prevents objects falling down the back of the cabinets.

  • Create good ergonomics. Mechanical or electrical opening mechanisms are ideal when you've got your hands full.

  • Make items fully accessible. Drawers with full extension guarantee the best possible access to all contents.

  • Remain flexible at all times. The better the inner dividing system, the more practical the kitchen organization can be.  Flexible inner dividing systems bring order to every drawer.

  • Ensure everything is clearly visible and easily to hand. Store frequently used items at eye level and within easy reach for accessibility.

  • Keep heavy items down low. Put heavy and bulky items on lower cabinet level.

  • Keep rarely used items up high. High storage locations are best allocated to things you use only occasionally.  This frees up valuable space within ergonomic reach. 

Kitchen Remodeling Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ADA Compliant Dishwasher? An ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant dishwasher is a dishwasher that meets the specific standards set by the ADA to make kitchens more accessible for people with disabilities. These dishwashers are designed to fit under lower countertops, typically 32 to 34 inches in height, and have user-friendly features such as front control panel, easier-to-grip handles, and adjustable racks to ensure ease of use for individuals with limited mobility.

What Does "Push-to-Open" Mean in Custom Furniture Design? "Push-to-open" is a modern, handle-less mechanism used in high-quality, custom furniture from VelArt Designer Kitchens & Baths that allows you to open drawers and cabinets with a simple press. This system is perfect for maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic while ensuring practicality and ease of use. Instead of traditional pulls or knobs, a light push on the front surface activates an internal spring-loaded mechanism, causing the door or drawer to pop open slightly, allowing you to easily grasp and pull it the rest of the way. This technology enhances the modern design philosophy that VelArt embodies, offering both functionality and style in your custom kitchen, closet system or bath spaces.
