Know your kitchen. Before you even think about renovating, you must �rst have a sense of what you’re working with. Or what you’re working toward!
Below, we list four types of basic kitchen layouts, according to the NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association). All of these illustrate the concept of the “work triangle,” or the distance between the three main work areas: sink, cooktop and refrigerator. For maximum ef�ciency, the work triangle should follow these guidelines:
•Each triangle leg should be 4 to 9 feet long, and the sum of the three should not exceed 26 feet.
•Cabinetry should not intersect any leg of the triangle.
•General traf�c patterns should not interfere with the work triangle.
• Islands should have at least 3 to 4 feet of aisle on each side. Avoid placing the island between two points of the triangle.
GALLEY (TWO WALL) | The galley consists of two facing walls and usually is found in condos and apartments. The work triangle is ef�cient, but the aisle between the two countertops is narrow. This option is a good plan for one cook.
L-SHAPE | In this kitchen design, two perpendicular walls contain the three main elements—sink, cooktop and refrigerator—to create a natural triangle. The L-shape kitchen generally will have ample counter space and lends itself to the inclusion of an island.
U-SHAPE | The U-shape kitchen uses three walls, or two walls with an attached peninsula. This layout is very ef�cient because it allows the cook to pivot among the stations, provides excellent storage and can accommodate two cooks. A center island often is included in the larger versions of this plan.
G-SHAPE | This option is basically a U-shaped kitchen with a fourth wall, which is usually opposite the sink and contains additional appliances, a pantry or a desk. Generally one of the largest layouts, the G-shape allows for more amenities than any other layout.
WORK ZONES – SIMPLIFYING EVERYDAY LIFE
When deciding where to put
cabinets and appliances in
relation to each other, it can
be helpful to think in terms
of zones or work zones. This
approach, which focuses on
function rather than objects,
means you’ll end up with an
everyday friendly and ef�cient
kitchen.
The three main zones, in
relation to the working
triangle, are: storage
(fridge, freezer and dry
storage), washing (sink
and dishwasher) and
cooking (cooktop, oven and
microwave). Placing them
well is crucial to achieving
an ergonomic work triangle
with a natural work�ow and
everything within reach.

Sewell Appliance was founded in 1962 by Charlie Sewell with a desk and a phone in an office shared with a small heating and air company. As satisfied customers soon became repeat and the word of his excellence and integrity spread, the business grew steadily. In the early 70’s, Charlie recognized a need to supply new products when repairs were no longer feasible and established the sales division of Sewell Appliance. The store moved to Sandy Springs in 1975, and by 1987, the Sewell’s settled into the Hilderbrand Court shopping center, renovating that location several times to keep up with the growing market and demand. In 2009, Sewell Appliance moved into its present 19,000 square foot facility expanding to showcase the latest products in the appliance industry and employ over 25 staff members in sales, service and installation. Early this year, the Sewell family realized their special company was growing at a pace exceeding its resources and accepted an offer from Builder Specialties, Inc. to merge their businesses. Today, Sewell Appliance has proudly become a division of Builder Specialties, Inc., whose desire and mission is to offer the familiar excellence of Sewell Appliance service on a larger scale.

ATLANTA’S LOCAL APPLIANCE SHOWROOM
Sewell Appliance was founded in 1962 by Charlie Sewell with a desk and a phone in an office shared with a small heating and air company. As satisfied customers soon became repeat and the word of his excellence and integrity spread, the business grew steadily. In the early 70’s, Charlie recognized a need to supply new products when repairs were no longer feasible and established the sales division of Sewell Appliance. The store moved to Sandy Springs in 1975, and by 1987, the Sewell’s settled into the Hilderbrand Court shopping center, renovating that location several times to keep up with the growing market and demand. In 2009, Sewell Appliance moved into its present 19,000 square foot facility expanding to showcase the latest products in the appliance industry and employ over 25 staff members in sales, service and installation. Early this year, the Sewell family realized their special company was growing at a pace exceeding its resources and accepted an offer from Builder Specialties, Inc. to merge their businesses. Today, Sewell Appliance has proudly become a division of Builder Specialties, Inc., whose desire and mission is to offer the familiar excellence of Sewell Appliance service on a larger scale.
