Before you start

Keep movable prep and pantry storage clear of appliance access and the cooking route.

Room details and site checks
Layout
Keep movable prep and pantry storage clear of appliance access and the cooking route.
Detail
Use freestanding carts, removable shelf liners and plug-in task lights where appropriate.
Trade-off

  • Confirm what may be attached or altered
  • Measure appliance access before adding carts
