La
sink sink
area is one of the most frequently used and one that deserves the most
care and attention in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. That is why, in order
to make it comfortable, functional and versatile at the same time, it will be necessary
to try to place it near the cooking and storage areas.
Ideas for every need
Another idea that is being introduced
in some kitchens is the installation of two sinks and, therefore,
two separate water areas. Thus, one can be used for
food preparation and the other for washing kitchen utensils, for example. Of course,
it is recommended that the one intended for food preparation be located as close
as possible to the pantry or the place where food is usually stored, or that it
form part of the so-called “work triangle” – the space resulting from
drawing two straight lines starting at the sink and leading to the
storage and cooking areas. In addition, it is advisable to leave about 40 cm free on each
side of the sink in order to work much more comfortably and efficiently.
Similarly, another
recommendation is to try to group together all those appliances
that require the use of water, such as the dishwasher and washing machine, and to prioritise the
installation of a double-bowl sink – although always bearing in mind the
use it will be given and the space available in our kitchen
(you can always opt for a single bowl or a bowl and a half with some accessories
such as drainer racks or chopping boards).
These are some ideas to
turn your kitchen and your kitchen sink into fully
functional and versatile elements at the same time. How many times have you seen a kitchen with two
sinks? 😉
