Outdoor kitchens are not only at home but also an office with five people need to also provide space for its internal kitchen or entertain a visiting relationship.
But the kitchen to the office space need not complex enough to line up with the kitchen cabinet units under the four modules (base cabinets) and the "kitchen sink" and hanging cabinet (wall cabinet).

Triangular employment patterns
Unlike in the office kitchen, kitchen for household work should follow the pattern of triangles that is setting the sink (kitchen sink), stoves and refrigerators. The distance between the location of activities (eg, sink) with the equipment should not exceed 180 cm.

Sink (sinks)

Stove & workbench
Stove should not be in front of the window and not close doors to prevent wind bertiupnya to the stove, away from the gas and there are no vents on top & wall cabinets.

There are at least 40 cm desk on the left and right in the stove for easy cooking activity. Height of working table should be the same with the stove.
Microwave may be placed on these areas, which need to be considered is the distance to opening the doors of the appliance.

Refrigerator
Is one important tool in the working pattern of triangles and very difficult job placement . Opening the refrigerator door should be set so as not to interfere with work activities, people passing or blocking another location when open.
Outdoor kitchens can be separated or combined with the dining room. Separation can be done by managing the cabinet or make a wall divider.


Kitchen living room lighting
Lighting settings for the kitchen space can be divided into two functions + 1 optional:
• The overall lighting, lamps were placed in the ceiling.
• The function of task lighting, lamps were placed under the hanging cabinets.

Currently, the farm houses in urban management and the growing increasingly narrow. Maximizing existing space is very wise. One of the tricks which are widely used to make all the room serves as a convenient location together is to make the kitchen into a room that is functional, stylish, but still comfortable. You can order a mini kitchen maximally efficient.

"At present trend is to use the kitchen as the location for the entertainment of friends or close relatives. The kitchen is often combined with other rooms, so that communication could be opened. Or be a place the child to do his homework," explained Siulina Mega, architects and interior designers , when launching the built-in stove latest HoB Modena, some time ago. To make it look more spacious kitchen room, try the following tips:

1. Choose small kitchen device or medium. Manufacturers of kitchen devices usually offer quite a variety of size options for refrigerators, ovens, stoves, and others. Choose small kitchen device or medium. Your room will look more spacious.

Another solution you can do is to fill the kitchen with a built-in device, in a sense integrated on the kitchen itself. This will give the impression of the kitchen a more stylish, roomy, and comfortable. For example, using the built-in stove HoB is integrated with the cupboard under the kitchen. Stoves built-in HoB of today have been designed with to give the impression that pretty interesting. For example, the built-in stove and Tecnica HoB Alluminio from Modena that was launched some time ago. Built-in gas stove latest HoB is made more secure than conventional stoves. "Stove Alluminio and Tecnica have a gas safety. When a sudden fire go out on the burner, and no combustion occurs, the gas valve is immediately closed. So maximizing the use of gas, is also safer than the gas leak. Plus, more concise, because it was not necessary cigarette lighter, "explained Lanny Kurniawan, Customer Management Division Head Modena.

2. Harmoniskan colors, from wall paint to kitchen tools. Choose a color for kitchen cabinets cream in order to make the room more spacious impression. If you want to add color to the room, try to select the color bright green, blue, or yellow. Light colors will reflect light, thereby creating a more spacious impression.

3. Pick storage cabinets made of glass plates on the front to show off all your plate collection. Try the cabinet is made of glass only at the top, leave the lower part remains solid to focus our eyes fixed on the top.

4. Hang the cooking device can make the drawers and cabinets easier. Hanging pots and pans at the top you can easily reach to make it easy cooking show, while leaving open space in kitchen drawers or cabinets for other items.

5. If possible, you can embed the lights in the floor or parquet wood to create the impression of light at the bottom and brighten areas that are usually dark.

6. Patterned floors can add a feeling of space. Try to select a ceramic with a diamond pattern which consists of two colors. This pattern will create the illusion that the floor is wider than what was there.

7. One of the tricks that you can calculate is the selection of the sink is a small or medium sized. Then, look for cutting mat board that measures length greater than the width of the sink, so that could be hooked, this means you make the room spacious. When not in use, you can save lapboard snapped back.

8. Buy cooking tools are more appropriate size. For example, bread toasters that slot if you need it for the fourth slot of bread or enough of his two bread alone is enough? Do you really need a food processor or a cappuccino machine? Does this kind of stuff you'll use every day? Most people use only 1.5 of the goods they have in the kitchen. If you feel the things you have not used too often, maybe you can store in a warehouse or better give to people who use it more often. Then enjoy the rest of the field of space you've created from the absence of this stuff.

9. Maximize the light that comes into the room from the sidelines of ventilation by not using lots of materials on the curtains. Simply use just vitrage or cloth at the top of the window only. Try as much light into the room.

10. Cleanliness is also very important to examine. Choose cookware that is easy to clean, durable, and has a maximal function.
