What is Kitchen Atelier?

Kitchen Atelier manages 5 data types including ar analyticses. Helps you organize, track, and share your work in 1 place for teams and solo users.

What should I include in a functional kitchen?

Start with the activities and items the kitchen must support, then place storage, preparation space, lighting, waste and appliances close to where they are used.

How can I make kitchen corner storage easier to use?

Corner carousels and pull-out corner mechanisms can improve access, but suitability depends on the cabinet type, dimensions and neighbouring units.

Can Measure Design include storage features in my kitchen concept?

You can select kitchen functionality while preparing your design brief. The selected features guide the concept, but a supplier or installer should verify compatibility and final dimensions.

Design the workflow before choosing the storage

Useful kitchen storage begins with tasks, not cabinet names. List where you prepare food, cook, make drinks, wash up, recycle and unpack shopping. Then place the items for each task within easy reach of that zone.

Measure Design lets you add functionality choices to the design brief so the concept reflects more than colour and style. Final mechanisms, clearances and load requirements still need professional confirmation.

Storage features worth considering

•Pull-out pantry or larder storage for food that needs to stay visible and reachable
•Deep pan drawers and internal drawers for cookware, utensils and preparation tools
•Corner carousel or pull-out corner storage where the cabinet dimensions allow it
•Vertical tray and chopping-board dividers beside the preparation or cooking zone
•Under-sink storage designed around the actual plumbing arrangement
•Integrated waste and recycling positioned near food preparation and clean-up

Small details that improve everyday use

•Task lighting beneath wall cabinets for safer food preparation
•Sensor lighting inside cabinets and drawers where contents are otherwise difficult to see
•Accessible drawer storage and pull-down wall-cabinet fittings where appropriate
•A charging drawer or concealed power point planned to the relevant electrical standards
•An extendable worktop or seating overhang only where circulation space remains comfortable

Questions to answer before finalising the design

•Which items are used every day, every week and only occasionally?
•Who needs to reach each shelf, drawer or appliance?
•Which doors, drawers and mechanisms could clash when opened together?
•Where are the water, waste, ventilation and electrical services?
•What must the installer survey before anything is ordered?
