What is the “kitchen triangle?”

The kitchen triangle is the working path between the sink, stove, and refrigerator — the three most-used stations during meal prep. The National Kitchen and Bath Association recommends each leg be no shorter than 10 feet and no greater than 25 feet, and that the path remain clear of obstructions. Every kitchen is different, and although this is a good rule, lifestyle and the needs of the client will often suggest the best layout.
