Here are some points to consider when planning your
new kitchen:
•
|
Try to keep existing service points when planning as rewiring and
plumbing are costly.
|
•
|
Think about ventilation points and do not plan units over them.
|
•
|
Sink units and worktop drainers need to be planned first as these
are the biggest items, and don't forget about dishwashers.
|
•
|
When measuring, if the unit is to fit in a particular space, or
when the unit needs to join onto another, take care to get the exact
size.
|
•
|
Consider whether the worktop needs to be flush sided to go against
the wall or rounded at the corners if it's to go on a freestanding
unit.
|
•
|
Plan in your main areas – sink, cooker and food preparation
– close together.
|
|
•
|
Note any height restrictions like low or sloping ceilings, if wall
units or tall cupboards are planned.
