Kitchen planning tips

How to plan a kitchen layout

The kitchen work triangle

The most important principle in kitchen design is the work triangle — the path between your hob, sink, and fridge. A good work triangle keeps these three points within 4–9 metres total, with each leg between 1.2 and 2.7 metres. Use Free Room Planner to position these three items and measure the triangle before committing to a layout.

Corridor widths

For a single-cook kitchen, aisles between opposite units should be at least 1 metre wide. For a two-cook kitchen, aim for 1.2 metres. Draw your units in Free Room Planner and measure the gap — it's easy to accidentally design a kitchen that's too tight to move around in.

The island question

Islands are popular but need space. You'll need at least 1 metre of clearance on all sides of an island for comfortable movement. In Free Room Planner, draw the island to your proposed size and check the clearances before you commit.

Appliance door clearances

Oven doors, dishwasher doors, and bin pull-outs all need clearance space in front of them. Use the door swing feature in Free Room Planner to visualise these before your kitchen is fitted.

Maximising natural light

Note where your windows sit and plan your layout so the prep area benefits most from natural light. In Free Room Planner, add windows to your walls to keep track of light sources as you plan.

For a single cook, 1 metre. For two cooks using the kitchen simultaneously, 1.2 metres is recommended.

No — Free Room Planner is designed for homeowners to create clear briefs, not for professional kitchen designers producing technical drawings. It's ideal for communicating your ideas to a kitchen fitter.
