Modern should not only be bright, but above all functional. The point is to be able to conveniently prepare meals in it. It would be best to place two parallel rows of cabinets in the room. However, if this is not possible, it is worth arranging the furniture in an L shape.

It is very important to remember the principle of the so-called working triangle. Maintaining the appropriate distance between several most important points in the kitchen will allow you to use it comfortably later. The distance between the refrigerator and the sink should be from 120 to 210 cm, and between the sink and the hob from 90 to 210 cm.
Already at the stage of designing the space, we should also remember about smaller equipment needed in the kitchen. Where will we put the kettle and where will the toaster be placed? Do we have room for a food processor and a multicooker? It is important that you do not suddenly find that there is no free space on the countertops for preparing meals.
