You will spend a lot of time in the kitchen area in your daily life. Therefore, it is important to plan the sink area of your kitchen. But what is there to know about this work area?
Planning considerations for kitchen sink area design
What is your workflow when washing dishes in the kitchen? What are your requirements for the kitchen sink? You should ask yourself these questions to equip your kitchen sink area accordingly. In fact, you perform multiple tasks in the sink every day.
- washing up
- preparation
- waste disposal
Washing dishes in the sink: your daily routine determines the size of the sink and the equipment
To ensure that washing dishes is easy and hassle-free, you should simply think about how your daily life in the kitchen is organized.
- Do you often work with large baking pans, frying pans, or other bulky kitchen utensils that must be soaked and rinsed by hand afterward?
- Do you typically wash glasses or other sensitive items by hand?
- Do you need a convenient place to drain everything without overwhelming the countertop?
- Do you need an area to keep hot pots, pans, or trays somewhere for a short time?
- Do you need a second sink?
Preparing the kitchen sink: how to do it best
If you work with fresh food regularly, an ergonomically designed, well-thought-out sink system is just perfect for you. Why not prepare and cut your vegetables where you rinse and clean them?
With modern kitchen sink system solutions such as the one offered by Parlun, you can rinse your vegetables with the hose and then use the sink accessory to cut the cleaned vegetables there. And the rest of the food ends up in the garbage under the built-in sink.
Good lighting is especially important when working in front of the sink. Therefore, the sink is usually placed near the kitchen window, so you need to have a practical window fitting so that you can open the window behind the sink without any problems.
Everything to do with the kitchen sink: Planning waste systems and storage space solutions
What do you produce most every day near your sink? Trash. Anyone with children or who cooks regularly will appreciate a well-thought-out waste management system.
You also need to take into account having enough storage options to store and organize toiletries.
Tip: In addition to a practical waste sorting system, storage cabinets should not be too far away. This way things like cups can be put away quickly after washing without having to walk very far.
