Your household

Who uses the kitchen matters more than square footage. Every answer changes something physical in the design.

How many people live here?

Sets the storage volume and sink size we plan for.

Children at home?

If yes, we keep heavy pull-outs and sharp corners out of low reach zones.

Elderly family members?

Lets us lower wall-unit heights and favour drawers over deep base cabinets.

Is there domestic help?

Help usually needs a separate wash and prep zone so two workflows don't collide.

Do two people cook at the same time?

This helps us plan enough aisle space if two people cook together — a parallel kitchen needs 42 inches, not 36.
