Ignoring the work triangle and placing the sink, stove, and refrigerator too far apart is the most frequent layout error. Other common mistakes include positioning the dishwasher away from the sink, creating dead-end traffic flow in galley layouts, and placing the refrigerator where its door blocks a walkway when open. Island sizing is another frequent problem, with homeowners choosing islands that are either too large for comfortable circulation or too small to function as a prep surface. Kingdom & Co. tests every kitchen layout with scaled drawings and 3D modeling to verify clearances and workflow before construction begins.
