Planning your kitchen

It’s important to design a kitchen that revolves around your needs. Creating a triangle
between your cooker, sink and fridge will make a better working environment. This will
ensure that your workspace is never cramped, allowing you to move freely between
appliances.
The layout you choose will depend on the size and shape of your room - and the
position of windows and doors. Plumbing and electrical points can usually be moved,
so do not let these restrict your design.
Most kitchens fall into four basic designs, a single line of units, a double line (galley),
and an L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen.
By combining cabinets imaginatively to these designs it is easy to totally transform
your kitchen to suit your lifestyle.
Working out the detail
Using the dimensions of the cabinets you wish to purchase, sketch your chosen units
to scale on the grid of the B&Q Kitchen Planner PDF (596 KB download).
Alternatively, cutting out the shape of the cabinets to scale allows you to move
individual units around your kitchen plan and work out the best layout.
