Designing a custom kitchen

To realize the design of a custom kitchen is necessary first of all to make an accurate examination of the space, with the help of precise surveys: at this stage it is important to carefully evaluate the structural elements that characterize the space under consideration.

The design phase of a custom-made kitchen must also include an in-depth dialogue with the owners of the house, aimed at precisely understanding their habits and needs.

Place the sink under the window

If you decide to place the sink under the window in a kitchen, it is important to check the height of the window and the presence of a window sill. It will also be important to assess the opening system mounted on the window. In this regard, check that the opening of the window is not hindered in any way by the presence of the mixer tap.

In this type of installation is not recommended the presence of a window with hinged frames, but it is perfect the presence of a sliding window, or even vasistas or pivoting. Thanks to the sliding opening of the window, the sash can slide sideways; the vasistas window is instead characterized by an inward opening, while in a pivoting window, the frame rotates on itself, occupying half the space inside the room and half outside.
