THE "ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL 2: 

THE KITCHEN!!!

Hi peeps,

Trust you are doing great and making the best of the weekend.

I commenced The "All Things Being Equal" series in my last post, with the objective to unveil equations behind what makes components within your spaces work effectively.

As a reminder, I featured The Space in itself, highlighting 3 major components that play a critical role within every space, and devised a pseudo formula; FLOOR + WALL x CEILING= SPACE, an equation that should be considered to make spaces work.

Feel free to checkout details of the post using this link

The direction of my post today is quite interesting as I feature a space that women love to own and manage so much; THE KITCHEN 🍽️ 😊

Of course the inspiration behind my choice is in the bid to celebrate women across the globe (thumbs up πŸ‘ to all the amazing women out there).

I will be referring to a concept known as "The Kitchen Triangle" in order to help you identify the key components that drive efficiency in the Kitchen and how they can be maximised.

I would plead that you refer to the image attached to this slide, so you have a glimpse of the concept before moving on to the upcoming slides πŸ™ πŸ‘‡


#1: 

THE COOKER

I bet you will agree there is no kitchen without a cooking equipment, but have you given a thought to how best to position your cooker in sync with other sections within the kitchen?

This is where the kitchen triangle begins to make sense, as it suggests 4-8 feet (1.2 - 2.4 metres) as the distance between the cooker and other working area.

Although this is not applicable in all cases, it is important to avoid placing a cooker in proximity to other appliances around the kitchen.



#2: 

THE SINK/

FOOD PREP

This is my favourite spot in the kitchen, where I get to have a bite of all the edible recipes πŸ˜„

In many U-shaped kitchen designs, the sink sits at the top of the 'U', while it is most ideal in the longer side of the 'L' in an L- shaped setting, typically under a window in both cases.

It is important to note that the sink section of the kitchen should double as a food preparation area where there is constraint with space, however if you can, the idea of having a kitchen island (with or without a separate sink) allows for ample space for food preparation and also depicts luxury as seen in the picture attached to this slide.



#3: 

THE COOLING/

HEATING 

This used to be known as the refrigerator area until the invention of heating equipment like the oven and microwave.

The most effective means to maximising this section of your kitchen is to incorporate towers, with height allowing for multiple levels of placement as seen in the picture attached to this slide.

Besides the pantry, the cooling/heating section is the part of the kitchen that helps with storage and largely the part that is excused to be most distant from the other two components in the triangle (in the case where eveness cannot be attained).

So in summary, COOKER - √SINK Γ· COOLING⁴= THE KITCHEN TRIANGLE 

I would assume you understand all the points made in this post, but there is hope for you if you are struggling to grasp any of this, especially when deep freezers are involved πŸ˜„

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£οΈ/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
