4. The Design Triangle

Some kitchen designers favor working around a triangle based on the location of the sink, the stove and the refrigerator.
This design generally functions well and keeps the walking to a minimum, although it is difficult to achieve if your kitchen design has to fit against only one wall.

If you are limited to an L-shape, and if space permits, a central island work unit is a useful addition. Add an electrical outlet in the island and you have an easy-to-reach appliance center.
