Kitchen Design Guides

A well-designed kitchen should function like the followings.
It is hard to imagine that while you work in the kitchen you walk half-marathon and you lift several hundreds of weigh every week.

You go to the table 30 times a day, open or close drawers 80 times and complete more than 50 steps in the kitchen workflow. These steps are carried out on the worktop or in the area around the kitchen sinks and you band or squat 10-15 times. What’s more, every year you spend 1 month in the kitchen. However, when you plan your kitchen, price or the aspects of design are more important than having a user-friendly, functional and ergonomically well-designed kitchen.

Cliff Kitchen staff believes that a well-designed kitchen is not only pieces of furniture but also a liveable and a loveable dynamic space in which it’s easy to cook and have a friendly atmosphere.

Therefore, we collected the most important aspects that help you to design the nicest kitchen you’ve ever seen.

One of the most important elements of kitchens is the storage capacity. It is unbelievable how many pots, appliances and spices are stored in the kitchen. The aim of planning a perfect storage system is not only making the appliances disappear, but also finding them when they are needed.

Movements that are uncomfortable at the moment might become impossible in a few years. Bend, squat might be only a little movement today, but for a pregnant woman or for the elderly people these movements might be really hard. Thus, it is useful to take ergonomic aspects into consideration in the planning process.
