How to Design and Layout a Coffee Shop Or Espresso Bar

If you are planning to open an espresso bar/coffee shop, then developing an efficient store design and layout will be one of the most important factors in positioning your business for success.

Counter Height Stools

Speed of service is critical to the profitability of a coffee business. An efficient ergonomic store design will allow you to maximize your sales by serving as many customers as possible during peak business periods. Even though your business may be open 12 to 16 hours a day, in reality, 80% of your sales will probably occur during 20% of those hours. Coffee is primarily a morning beverage, so your busy times of day (those times when you are most likely to have a line of waiting customers), may be from 6:30AM to 8:30AM, and then again around lunchtime. If you have a poor store layout, that does not provide a logical and efficient flow for customers and employees, then the speed of customer service and product preparation will be impaired.

Counter Height Stools

Think of it like this; if someone pulls open the front door of your store, and they see 5 people are waiting in line to order, there's a good chance they'll come in, wait in line, and make a purchase. But, if they see that 20 people are waiting in line, there is a high probability that they may determine that the wait will be too long, and they will simply get coffee somewhere else. This is money that just escaped your cash register! And, if they come to your store multiple times, and frequently find a long line of waiting customers, they may decide you are not a viable option for coffee, and will probably never return. Poor design slows down the entire service process, resulting in a longer line of waiting customers, and lost sales. So in reality, your daily business income will be dependent upon how many customers you can serve during peak business periods, and good store design will be essential to achieving that objective!

The financial impact of a poor store design can be significant. For the sake of this example, let's say the average customer transaction for your coffee business will be .75. If you have a line of waiting customers each morning between 7:00 AM and 8:30 AM, this means you have 90 minutes of crunch time, in which you must drive through as many customers as possible. If you can service a customer every 45 seconds, you will serve 120 customers during this 90 minutes. But, if it takes you 1 minute 15 seconds to service each customer, then you will only be able to serve 72 customers. 120 customers x .75 = 0.00 x 30 business days per month = ,500. 72 customers x .75 = 0.00 x 30 business days per month = ,100. This represents a difference of ,400 in sales per month (,800 per year), coming from just 90-minutes of business activity each day!

So how should you go about designing your coffee bar? First, understand that putting together a good design is like assembling a puzzle. You have to fit all the pieces in the proper relationship to each other to end up with the desired picture. This may require some trial and error to get things right. I've designed hundreds of coffee bar over the past 15 years, and I can truthfully tell you from experience, it still usually takes me a couple of attempts to produce an optimal design.

The design process begins by determining your menu and other desired store features. If you plan to do in-store baking, then obviously you'll need to include in your plan an oven, exhaust hood, sheet pan rack, a large prep table, and perhaps a mixer. If you plan to have a private meeting room for large groups, then an extra 200 sq. ft. or more will need to be designed-in, in addition to the square footage you are already allocating for normal customer seating.

Your intended menu and other business features should also drive decisions about the size of location you select. How many square feet will be required to fit in all the necessary equipment, fixtures, and other features, along with your desired seating capacity?

Typically, just the space required for the front of the house service area, (cash register, brewing & espresso equipment, pastry case, blenders, etc.), back of the house (storage, prep, dishwashing and office areas), and 2-ADA restrooms, will consume about 800 sq. ft. If space for extensive food prep, baking, coffee roasting, or cooking will be required, this square footage may increase to 1,000 to 1,200, or more. What ever is left over within your space after that, will become your seating area.

So, a typical 1,000 sq. ft coffee bar, serving beverages and simple pastries only, will probably allow for the seating of 15 to 20 customers - max! Increase that square footage to 1,200 sq. ft., and seating should increase to 30, or 35. If you plan to prepare sandwiches, salads, and some other food items on site, 1,400 to 1,600 sq. ft. should provide enough space to seat 35 to 50, respectively.

Next, you will have to determine the tasks that will be performed by each employee position, so that the equipment and fixtures necessary to accomplish those tasks can be located in the appropriate places.

Normally, your cashier will operate the cash register, brew and serve drip coffee, and serve pastries and desserts. Your barista will make all your espresso-based beverages, tea, chai, hot chocolate, Italian sodas, as well as all the blender beverages. If you'll be preparing sandwiches, panini, wraps, salads, snacks and appetizers, or will be baking on-site, then a person dedicated to food prep will be necessary. And, if you anticipate high volume, and will be serving in or on ceramics, a bus-person/dishwasher may be a necessity.

After you have determined what you will be serving, the space you will be leasing, and what each employee will be responsible for, you will then be ready to begin your design process. I usually start my design work from the back door of the space and work my way forward. You'll need to design in all of the features that will be necessary to satisfy your bureaucracies and facilitate your menu, before you make plans for the customer seating area.

Your back door will most likely have to serve as an emergency fire exit, so you'll need a hallway connecting it with your dining room. Locating your 2-ADA restrooms off of this hallway would make good sense. And, because delivery of products will also probably occur through your back door, having access to your back of the house storage area would also be convenient.

In the back of the house, at minimum, you will need to include a water heater, water purification system, dry storage area, back-up refrigerator and freezer storage, ice maker, an office, 3-compartment ware washing sink, rack for washed wares, mop bucket sink, and a hand washing sink. Do any food prep, and the addition of a food prep sink and prep table will be necessary. If doing baking, gelato making, full cooking, or coffee roasting, all the equipment necessary for those functions will also need to be added.

After all the features have been designed into the back of the house, you will then be ready to start your design work on the front of the house service and beverage preparation area. This area will probably include a pastry case, cash register(s), drip coffee brewer and grinder(s), espresso machine and grinders, a dipper well, possibly a granita machine, blenders, ice holding bin, blender rinse sink, hand washing sink, under counter refrigeration (under espresso machine and blenders), and a microwave oven.

If serving food beyond simple pastries and desserts, you may need to add a panini toaster grill, a refrigerated sandwich/salad preparation table, soup cooker/warmer, a bread toaster, etc. If you plan to serve pre made, ready to serve sandwiches, wraps, and salads, along with a selection of bottled beverages, an open-front, reach-in merchandising refrigerator should be considered. Serving ice cream or gelato? If the answer is yes, then an ice cream or gelato dipping cabinet will be necessary along with an additional dipper well.

Finally, when all the working areas of the bar have been designed, the customer seating area can be laid out. This will, of course, include your cafe tables and chairs, couches and comfortable upholstered chairs, coffee tables, and perhaps a window or stand-up bar with bar stools. Impulse-buy and retail merchandise shelves should be established, and a condiment bar should be located close to where customers will pick-up their beverages.

A quick word about couches, large upholstered chairs, and coffee tables. Living room type furniture takes up a lot of space. If you plan to be opening evenings, and will perhaps serve beer and wine, and having comfortable seating will be important for creating a relaxing ambiance, then by all means do it. But if you have limited seating space, and are not trying to encourage people to relax and stay for long periods of time, then stick with cafe tables and chairs. The more people you can seat, the greater your income potential!

Features from the front door to the condiment bar should be arranged in a logical, sequential order. As your customers enter the front door, their travel path should take them past your impulse-buy merchandise display, and the pastry case, before they arrive at the point of order (where your cashier, cash register, and menu-board will be located). Exposing customers to your impulse items and pastries, before they order, will greatly increase their sales. Then, after the order and payment has been taken, they should proceed down-line away from the cash register to pick-up their beverage, and finally, the condiment bar should be located beyond that point. Be sure to separate your point of order from the point of product pick-up by at least six feet, otherwise customers waiting for their beverage may begin to intrude into the space of those ordering.

Don't make the mistakes that many inexperienced designers commonly make. They arrange these features in a haphazard way, so that customers have to change direction, and cut back through the line of awaiting customers to proceed to their next destination in the service sequence. Or, wanting to make their espresso machine a focal point to those entering the store, they place it before the cashier along the customer's path of travel. Customers inevitably end up trying to order from the barista before they are informed that they need to proceed to the cashier first. If this happens dozens of times each day, confusion and slowed beverage production will be the result.

On the employee's side of the counter, work and product flow are even more important. Any unnecessary steps or wasted movements that result from a less than optimal design will slow down employee production. All products should flow seamlesly in one direction towards the ultimate point of pick-up. For example, if preparing a particular item is a 3-step process, then placement of equipment should allow for the 3 steps to occur in order, in one linear direction, with the final step occurring closest to the point where customers will be served.

Equipment should be grouped together so that it is in the immediate proximity of the employee(s) who will be using it. Beyond the actual equipment, empty spaces must be left on the counter top to store ingredients and small wares (tools) used in product preparation. Counter top space will also be needed where menu items will actually be assembled. Think of the grouping of equipment for different job functions as stations. Try to keep different stations compact and in close working proximity to each other, but make sure that there is enough space between each so that employee working-paths don't cross, which could contribute to employee collisions.

Creating defined work stations will allow you to put multiple employees behind the counter when needed. When it is busy, you may need to have 2 cashiers, another person just bagging pastries and brewing coffee, 2 baristas behind the espresso machine, a maybe even a dedicated person working the blenders. If you're preparing sandwiches and salads to order, then another person may need to be added to handle that task. Keeping your stations in close proximity to each other will allow one employee to easily access all equipment during very slow periods of business, thus saving you valuable labor dollars.

When you arrange equipment in relationship to each other, keep in mind that most people are right handed. Stepping to the right of the espresso machine to access the espresso grinder will feel more comfortable than having to move to the left. Likewise, place your ice storage bin to the right of your blenders, so when you scoop ice, you can hold the cup or blender pitcher in your left hand, and scoop with your right.

As you create your store layout, the equipment you select should fit your space and the needs of your anticipated business volume. A busy location will most likely require a dual or twin, air pot, drip coffee brewer (one that can brew 2 pots at the same time), as opposed to a single brewer. If you anticipate selling a lot of blended and ice drinks, then an under counter ice maker, one that can only produce 100 pounds of ice or less per day, will not be sufficient. You should instead locate a high-capacity ice maker (one that can make 400 or 500 lbs. per day) in the back of the house, and transport ice to an ice holding bin up front. Plan to bring in frozen desserts and ice cream? Then a 1 door reach-in freezer in the back of he house will probably be inadequate for you storage needs, so you'll need to consider a 2 or 3 door. I always recommend a 3-group espresso machine for any location that may generate 150 drinks per day or more. And, I can tell you from experience, you can never have too much dry or refrigerated storage space!

Make sure that any equipment you select will be acceptable with your local bureaucracy before your purchase and take delivery of it. All equipment will typically need to be NSF & UL approved, or have a similar, acceptable, foreign certification equivalent. Your bureaucracy will most likely want to see manufacturer specification sheets on all equipment to verify this fact, before they'll approve your plans.

ADA (American's with Disabilities Act) compliance will also come into play when you are designing your coffee bar. In some areas of the country, this will only apply to those areas of your store that will be used by customers. However, other bureaucracies may require your entire store to be ADA compliant. Following are some of the basic requirements of compliance with the code:

• All hallways and isle ways must be 5 feet wide (minimum).

• All countertop working heights must be 34 inches high (instead of normal 36 inch height).

• 18 inches of free wall space must be provided on the strike-side of all doors (the side with the door knob).

• All hand-washing sinks must be ADA friendly.

• All bathrooms must be ADA compliant (5 foot space for wheelchair turnaround, handrails at toilet, acceptable clearance around toilet and hand washing sink, etc.).

• No steps allowed, ramps are OK with the proper slope.

• If your space has multiple levels, then no feature may exist on a level where handicapped access has not been provided, if that same feature does not exist on a level where it will be accessible.

You can find the complete regulations for ADA compliance at the following website:

http://www.access-board.gov/adaag/html/adaag.htm

Beyond the basic Equipment Floor Plan, showing new partitions, cabinets, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings, you'll need to produce some additional drawings to guide your contractors and satisfy the bureaucracies.

Electrical Plan

An electrical plan will be necessary to show the location of all outlets needed to operate equipment. Information such as voltage, amperage, phase, hertz, special instructions (like, "requires a dedicated circuit"), and the horizontal and vertical location of each outlet, should all be specified.

A small, basic coffee shop might get away with a 200 amp service, but typically 400 amps will be required if your equipment package will include items like an electric water heater, high-temperature dishwasher, or cooking equipment (ovens, panini grill, etc.).

In addition to the electrical work required for your coffee business-specific equipment, you may need to adjust existing electrical for additional or reconfigured lighting, HVAC, general-purpose convenience outlets, and exterior signs. Also, have your electrician run any needed speaker wires, TV/internet cables, and cash register remote receipt printer cables at the same time they are installing electrical wires. Finally, make sure your electrician makes provisions for lighted exit signs, and a battery-powered emergency evacuation lighting system, if needed.

Plumbing Plan

A plan showing all plumbing features will be necessary. At minimum, this should show stub-in locations for all needed water sources (hot & cold), drains, your water heater, water purifications system, grease interceptor (if required), bathroom fixtures, etc.

While a typical P-trap drain should be acceptable for most fixtures and equipment, some will require an air-gap drain. An air gap drain does not go through the "S"-shaped twists of the P-trap. Instead, the drain line comes straight down from the piece of equipment or fixture, and terminates 2 inches above the rim of a porcelain floor sink drain. This porcelain drain basin is usually installed directly into the floor. The air gap between the drain line from your equipment or fixture, and the bottom of the basin, prevents any bacteria in the sewer pipe from migrating into the equipment or fixture. I drain the following pieces of equipment to a floor sink drain when creating a plumbing plan:

• espresso machine

• dipper wells

• ice maker

• ice holding bin

• food prep sink

• soft drink dispensing equipment

To save on the life of your water filtration system, only your espresso machine and coffee brewer should be supplied by with treated water. Coffee is 98% to 99% water, so good water quality is essential. Your ice maker should only require a simple particle filter on the incoming line (unless your water quality is terrible). There is no need to filter water that will be used for hand and dish washing, cleaning mops, flushing toilets, and washing floors!

Be aware that many bureaucracies are now requiring a grease interceptor on the drain line from your 3-compartment ware washing sinks and automatic dishwasher. A grease interceptor is basically a box containing baffles that traps the grease before it can enter the public sewer system.

Also understand that a typical retail space will not come equipped with a water heater with enough capacity to handle your needs. Unless your space was previously some type of a food service operation, you will probably need to replace it with a larger one.

If cutting trenches in the floor will be necessary to install porcelain floor sinks, a grease interceptor, and run drain lines, then establishing a few general purpose floor drains at this same time behind the counter, and in the back of the house, will prove useful. Floor drains will allow you to squeegee liquids away when spills occur, and when washing floors.

Finally, if you added some new walls during your remodel, you may need to have the fire sprinkler system for your space adjusted or reconfigured.

Cabinet Elevations

Drawing cabinet elevations, (the view you would have if you were standing in front of your cabinets), will be necessary for your cabinet maker to understand all the features they will need to incorporate into your cabinet designs.

These elevations are not meant to be shop fabrication drawings for your cabinetmaker, but merely serve a reference, showing needed features and desired configuration. Where do you want drawers, and under counter storage space; and, where do you want cabinet doors on that under counter storage? Where should open space be left for the placement of under counter refrigeration and trashcans? Will cup dispensers be installed in the cabinet face under the counter top? These elevations will provide your cabinetmaker with a clear understanding of all these features.

While your kitchen base cabinets at home are typically 24 inches deep, for commercial applications they should be 30 inches deep, and 33 inches if an under counter refrigerator is to be inserted. Also, when specifying the size of an open bay to accommodate under counter refrigeration, be sure to allow a couple of inches more than the physical dimensions of the equipment, so that it can be easily inserted and removed for daily cleaning.

Dimensions Plan

You will need to create a floor plan showing all the critical dimensions for new partitions, doors, cabinets, and fixtures. This will, of course, help make sure that everything ends up where it is suppose to be, and will be the right size.

A final thought about design; unless the space you will be designing is a clean vanilla shell (meaning, nothing currently exists in the space, except perhaps one ADA restroom), you will have to make sure that all the features that you are considering keeping, will be acceptable with your local bureaucracy. Many older buildings were not designed to present codes. If the business type remains the same (your space was occupied by a food service establishment before you), then some times any non compliant features will be grandfathered-in, meaning you don't have to bring them up to current requirements. But don't count on this! You need to check with your bureaucracies to make sure. More and more I see bureaucracies requiring new business owners to remodel, so that all features are compliant with codes. This means you may have to rip-out bathrooms and hallways, add fire sprinkler systems, and provide ramps where there are steps. Better you know all these things before you begin your store design!

I always tell my consulting clients, that if I produce a perfect design and layout for them, they will never notice... because everything will be exactly where you would expect it to be. Unfortunately, if you create a less than optimal design for your coffee bar, you probably won't realize it until you start working in it. Changing design mistakes or inadequacies after the fact, can be extremely expensive. Not correcting those mistakes may even cost you more in lost potential sales. For this reason, I strongly suggest using an experienced coffee business space designer to create your layout for you, or at very least, to review the design you have created. Doing so will payoff with dividends.

First of all you have to decide between the material and that in turn will also decide about the portability. Obviously the wood ones offer easy portability. Similarly if you think that children would be using that too often then bamboo ones would be better. You might also want to consider wood ones in that case. If you are an art lover and want to have some carvings and designs, then we would recommend you wood ones. If your house is of ethnic style then it is the wrought iron that will suit your need the most.

Counter Height Stools

Then we think the height is the most important that you should consider. Although people have their own standards but it all depends on the height of the counter. Remember that calculating wrong seat heights is one of the most important reasons why people are unsatisfied with their stools. You should leave anywhere between 9 to 13 inches from the top of the seat to the counter.

Counter Height Stools

The next is the style and color. If you want to choose from the innumerable designs or you want to give stress on comfort or you want something to write on the back then the swivel is the best for you. You can carve anything from the name of the basketball team you support to your wife's name. The color-coding will depend on the amount of light available in the bar and the color of your walls although black can suit every background.

Now let us talk about blend. The best among the blend is the wood and the metal. In this category some people make a metal frame with a wooden seat. In some others, the metal seat on the metal frame is carved and painted in such a way that it gives an impression of wooden seat, which means a durability of, wooden with a visual picture of wood.

Where to Buy a Cheap Writing Desk

If you are looking for a fairly cheap writing desk, fortunately there are quite a few options available to you, although this can be more difficult if you are looking for one that is not a standard size. Other options, if you cannot find what you are looking for, is to make one yourself which is not really that difficult.

Counter Height Stools

Perhaps the first place you may want to look is on Craigslist or on another local bulletin board. Frequently people advertise their old, no longer needed furniture on these type of lists and they are usually fairly cheap too. Alternatively, you can actually advertise yourself on these lists, stating specifically what you are looking for by giving the exact dimensions you need. It is fairly common for others to read such advertisements and realize they have something that would suit, whereas they may not necessarily go to all the trouble of advertising it themselves.

Counter Height Stools

Another great place to look is at Overstock. They have a lot of decent furniture again at very good prices. The downside is that you may have to assemble the desk yourself, however these desks will come with fairly detailed instructions on how to put the desk together and they will also include all the parts needed to do so, though you will need to provide your own tools.

Goodwill, Salvation Army and other such places also often carry pieces of furniture. If they do not have it in their shop, you could always let them know what you are searching for. That way, if it comes in they will be able to contact you and let you know. The same holds true for second hand furniture shops, as they often get a fairly good turnover in secondhand furniture and are usually willing to keep your contact details on hand in case something suitable comes in.

If you want to make your own, without necessarily going to all the trouble of building one up from scratch, another idea is to visit your local Home Depot and check out their counter section. You could simply buy two smaller sized counters and a piece of counter-top. Set the counter beside each other, with a small space in between where you legs can go, and place the counter-top on top of the counters. In most cases you do not even need to actually fix the counter top to the cabinets as it is usually heavy enough to sit firmly on top without moving. Another alternative, along similar lines, is to use two appropriate height file cabinets and lay a counter top over those. That way you will also have additional drawer space, which is always useful.

Decorating With Room Dividers, Part 1

From half walls to a well-placed sofa, use room dividers to make the most of the space in your home, creating manageable activity areas that still let you enjoy the benefits of open-plan living.

Counter Height Stools

Most rooms in the house have to serve more than one function - whether you have open-plan areas or not - all of which are equally important. The living room may embrace a host of different activities, from quiet reading to music practice, from watching television to formal dining. The kitchen is often the place where family meals are eaten as well as prepared. Bedrooms double as dressing areas, playrooms, or studies; children's rooms are often shared.

Counter Height Stools

Multi-purpose areas require some form of internal organization to avoid chaos and confusion. Room dividers don't increase the space at your disposal, but they make better sense of it.

A room divider can be as permanent as a half-height wall or as temporary as a freestanding screen.

Furniture that you already possess, such as a shelf unit or sofa, can be pressed into service to distinguish one part of a room from another. Dividers that provide practical advantages of their own multiply the benefits. For example, a counter that hides kitchen clutter can also serve as a breakfast bar; open display shelves offer additional storage space for ornamental pieces and books while partially enclosing a section of the living room.

Make sure the dividers don't undermine the basic qualities of the room - you need to plan carefully to avoid blocking light or creating traffic bottlenecks. Equally, it's important to work with the inherent proportions and decorative character of the room so the final effect appears well considered rather than makeshift.

Arrangement

Before you begin, make a rough sketch of the room to assess how best you can divide it. Pay special attention to entrances, windows, and traffic routes through the space. Ideally, place dividers so that each portion of the room receives natural light. This means the position of the windows is a crucial factor in your layout. Also take care not to obstruct main entrances or make it difficult to move around the room.

Think about how much space to allocate to each activity. Study areas can be quite compact, for example, whereas a dining area requires more space so that chairs can be moved comfortably back from the table. Dividing a shared bedroom usually means splitting the room in half to provide each person with an equal amount of space.

Dividers don't have to follow straight lines. A curving counter is an attractive way of separating a kitchen area in an open-plan space. In a similar way, a pair of narrow dividers projecting out from opposite walls to frame an area can provide more visual interest than a single divider extending some way across the room.

A Round Dining Table - Stylish and a Space Saver

A round dining table can be a great addition to any dining room or kitchen. Because of its shape, this type of table can actually provide more seating options than a square or rectangular varieties, as well as provide more surface room for the actual table. Also because of their shape, these styles of tables also take up less room while providing more walking space.

Counter Height Stools

Usually a round table is made of steel or wood, though there are some styles that are made from glass. The glass styles usually stand atop a steel pedestal and are often very stylish. Usually a round table that is made from wood will sit on a pedestal made from wood as well as a matter of fact a round dining table made from metal will also sit on a metal pedestal.

Counter Height Stools

A round table is typically sold as part of a set that includes various amounts of chairs that match the style of the table itself. You can also purchase one on its own separately but it is often more expensive to go this route. You may want to comparison shop between the two to get a contrast between prices of sets and single tables. A good place to do the research on the cost is online. There are many vendors online that can provide a list of prices. Even if you are not comfortable with shopping online, this can be a great way to gather information and find out more about what is out there on the market.

A round dining table is a great choice for a kitchen or a formal dining room. Finding a style that will match the decor of the room is relatively easy and will end up complimenting the room and may even become the focal point of the room, and they are a nice change from the traditional square and rectangle dining table.

Kitchen Design Tips &amp; Updates - Space Requirements &amp; Recommendations

Kitchen design can be as simple as a straight countertop with minimalist appliances, or as sophisticated as multiple sinks, dishwashers, cooktops & ovens in islands, under islands, over islands and more. Wine coolers can fit in the space of a dishwasher or be as tall as a pantry. Sinks can be troughs to be filled with ice to cool bottles, little for an entertainment center, double or triple bowls and an infinite variety of materials. Materials vary enormously, you can go green with countertops made of compressed recycled paper, clear glass, concrete, granite, limestone or the old standbys. Even within materials, such as granite, prices vary enormously depending on the exact stone chosen, and you can find some very reasonable and beautiful stone if you look around. There's an infinite world of possibilities in the kitchen.

Counter Height Stools

First we can start with some design basics. How much room do I need for a kitchen? Well, that depends on what you want in it. At it's most mini, you could fit a kitchen into a space 5'-4" x 7'-5", but there wouldn't be much beyond some very small appliances without a dishwasher. Let's look at some standard appliance and fixtures size ranges.

Counter Height Stools

Sinks: sinks come in many sizes, depths, materials and prices.  You can get them as narrow as 11" wide, but you probably want to plan at least a 30" - 36" cabinet, which can accommodate a wide range of standard size kitchen sinks from 25" to 33" in a variety of styles (drop-in, undercounter, or exposed front cut out).  You will also need to decide if you like a single, double or triple basin sink, as that will impact available sizes. There is also the option of putting the sink in an island, or putting an entertainment sink or trough sink in a secondary location.   Dishwashers: dishwashers are pretty easy because they are pretty standard at 24".   Cooking: again we have multiple choices, but sizes are a little easier.  You have a choice of a free-standing or slide-in, in which the unit fits in between two cabinets, which is generally 30" wide; a cooktop with separate ovens, (either below or in a separate cabinet), which comes standard in 30" or 36" sizes and fit into that size cabinet (although you can get professional style rangetops up to 48"); or a professional style range made by companies such as Viking, Wolfe or GE Monogram which range from 24" all the way up to 60", and require significant ventilation. If you choose a separate oven in some kind of wall oven arrangement, standard oven widths are generally 27" and 30", although they can be found up to 36".   Refrigerators: Choices, choices! Refrigerators are kind of two basic style decisions. Do you want one which is shallow (around 2') and is known as built-in or counter-depth, or do you want the slightly deeper traditional style where some of refrigerator sides are exposed. The shallower built-in's generally come in 36", 42" & 48", while the deeper styles can be found just below 30" wide and up.   Faucets: Kitchen faucets, besides an almost infinite variety of styles, materials and colors, also have evolved. Faucets are now available just to fill the pots on your stove, have a choice of pull-out sprayer heads or separate sprayer, single or multiple handles, they are available with remote two button controls for a prep sink which allows for a quick sink rinse or a more complete cleansing flow, and can fit any decor from ultra modern to renaissance.
How much countertop is enough? According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) a total of 158 inches (13'-2") of countertop frontage (not in corners) is needed to accommodate all kitchen uses. Try to allow a continuous section of countertop of at least 36 inches wide by 24 inches deep next to your primary work area.  The NKBA recommends that you allow at least a 15 inch countertop area next to your oven and on the handle side of your refrigerator.  

When talking about storage,  the NKBA recommends a total shelf/drawer frontage of 1400 inches for a small kitchen (less then 150sf), 1700 inches for a medium kitchen (151 to 350sf) and 2000 inches for a large kitchen (over 350sf). What does this mean? Does this mean that I need over 100' of shelves for a little kitchen? Well, yes, but, each drawer or each individual shelf should be counted towards the total. So if you have a 24" wide cabinet, 30" high with 3 shelves, you already have 6' of shelving. And if there were a 24" base cabinet with 4 drawers, there's another 8', so this one 24" area of your kitchen already has 14' of shelving.  

What is "the work triangle"? The work triangle represents the three major work stations of the kitchen: the cooking area, the refrigerator and the sink. Measuring from the center of each, the maximum total length of the triangle should not be greater then 26 feet with the maximum leg no greater then 9 feet and the minimum not less then 4 feet. At 3D Home Decorator, there are actually 9ft and 4ft arrows that you can place in your floor plans to test distances.  

Eating areas are not limited to tables! Islands can accommodate eating areas, cooking areas, washing up areas, or just prep areas. A typical kitchen counter is 34 inches to 36 inches high. A table is typically 30 inches high. So in planning kitchen eating areas, part of an island eating area can be dropped to table height or a table can be built as an extension of an island, left at counter height with stools, or raised to 42 inches for a high countertop eating area, which is often used to hide the work surface of the counter behind it when viewed from the rest of the room.  

How much space is ideal between a table and the wall? The NKBA  (National Kitchen & Bath Assoc.) recommends a minimum of 32 inches if no traffic needs to pass. 36 inches will let someone squeeze by, and 44 inches will let a person walk by. If a wheelchair needs to pass, allow 60 inches.  

It is best to vent your stove to the outside if possible, but there are recirculating fans which will draw odors from the air if outside venting is not available Do not put cooking surfaces under operable windows. If you are lucky enough to have an operable window above countertop height in your kitchen, place your sink under it instead of your stove. You can put a microwave with a fan combination over your stove, either exhausting to the outside, or recirculating the air.  

Do not waste your kitchen corners. Upper cabinets can be decorative open shelving or have a two part door which opens both sides of the cabinets. Blind base cabinets can have lazy susans, which rotate for access, or base cabinets can have shelves which pull out, swing to the side and allow deeper shelves to be pulled out into accessible locations. While it is the hardest to access, the least expensive solution is just to have deep shelves or a simple lazy-susan (the rotating shelves). If you have an L shaped kitchen or island with a peninsula setup, doors can be placed on both sides for accessibility.  

Don't forget the space between the upper and lower cabinets. If you have more then enough countertop, the space between the upper and lower cabinets  (even in the corners) can have tambour doors (rollup doors) which can hide appliances or the space can be filled with open wine racks, leaving half the countertop exposed for the usual purposes.

 Cabinets come in all sizes. Base cabinets come in every width from 3 inches up, and depths from 12 inches to 24 inches and larger, so they can fill all kinds of needs. 9 inch and 12 inch base pullouts for soda bottles and cans are wonderful and efficient for filling in narrower spaces. There are  base cabinets with pullouts for garbage and/or recycling, or with shelves that lift up for a Kitchenaid Mixmaster type of appliance. A 12 inch deep cabinet at the end of an island can be used for cookbooks or designed for wine storage. Don't forget full height pantries, which can have shelves, roll-out drawers, door attachments for spices or other specialty storage. Both lower and upper cabinets can be decoratively open for wine, books, glassware, and more. An 18" or 24" base could have a small wine or soda refrigerator built in. There are 6" high drawer cabinets or open shelves which can fit under your upper cabinets to provide storage for smaller items.  Base cabinets too can have glass doors and fancy faces, which can be used to display special dishes.  With storage at a premium, kitchen cabinets have become very clever about offering maximum efficiency in minimum space.

Choosing the Perfect Gathering Table Set For Your Home

Do you find yourself needing a dining set but you only have a very small area to place it? Why not try using a gathering table set? These counter height table sets are perfect dining sets for small areas. They also work great when it comes to adding additional seating in the kitchen area. Counter table sets are very similar to regular dining sets but they are taller in height and perfect for placing in small corners in a room.

Counter Height Stools

They are the perfect solution when space is an issue. Counter table sets come in a large array of shapes, colors, and different styles giving you a large selection to choose from. With so many choices, you may find yourself confused about which one will work best for your home. Here are some tips to help you find a gathering table set that will fit perfectly in your space.

Counter Height Stools

The first thing you need to remember when choosing the right counter table collection is that it should fit in with everything else that's going on in your kitchen, dinette, or dining area. Be sure to choose a design that matches the what you have existing in the space. It should blend in well with the overall look of the room. Counter height table sets come in a variety of colors particularly wood finishes like cherry, oak, and mahogany. Just choose the shade that best matches the room.

For example, if your dining area has white accents, you may want to go with a gathering table set with lighter, oak finish. On the other hand, if your dining area has more of a contemporary look, there are many table sets that are designed with a modern feel in mind. For example, you may want to try a table set in black or a deep, dark espresso finish with wrought iron accents. Once you have a feel for the overall decor of the room, choosing the perfect set will be a lot easier.

Another thing you must take into consideration when choosing your gathering table collection is the actual size of the set. While gathering tables are generally smaller than traditional dining sets, they do vary in size so it's important to know the exact amount of space you're dealing with before you purchase the set. After all, you don't want to end up with a set that's too big for your dining area. Make sure you measure your dining area before you go shopping and check the measurements of the table set that you want to buy to make sure it will work for you. Also remember that round gathering table are typically better suited for tight spaces as they'll prevent guests from having to navigate around corners.

The final thing you want to remember when you go shopping for your gathering table set are durability and quality. Always make sure the set is made from quality materials before you purchase it. Be sure to test the set for sturdiness. You don't want to buy something that's only going to last you a short time. By doing your homework, you'll be able to find a quality gathering table collection at an affordable price.

Build a Home Gym

My Home Gym

Counter Height Stools

When I started doing P90X it was with my son and we needed more than just the living room as we were running into one another and of course using the family TV for something other than just pure entertainment. So we decided to set up our own home gym in our workshop that we currently used for storage (as well as being my old gym with weights, bench, squat rack now all collecting dust and holding the Christmas boxes). Times are tough for all of us and I did not have any money to spend so we made do with the old stuff in the workshop and some ingenuity. After a major cleaning and moving effort we had an area on one end that we decided to use.

Counter Height Stools

The Floor

I was lucky enough to have a large supply of gym floor mats that I had bought for an outdoor project some years before that were stacked in my workshop. With a little cleaning and hunting for the edge pieces we were able to cover almost the entire area with these nice cushion workout mats. Perfect for the jumping and rolling around we would be doing in P90X. I had gotten these at Sam's Club (currently .68 for 8 pieces that cover 33.5 sq ft). So our floor was taken care f without spending any money.

Pull Up Bar

We needed a way to do pull ups for all of us at the same time so I decided to install long pull up bars. I had two, ½ inch 10 foot long black iron plumbing pipes in my shop and several wooden 2X4s. I mounted the 2X4s to the roof rafters with four bolts per support so that they would be secure and could easily handle the weight. I put them on every other rafter which made them a little under 4 feet apart or 3 supports per bar. I had already measured the length that the boards needed to be in order for them to make me get up on my tip toes to grab the bar (me being the tallest I used myself as a worst case scenario) and had also measured where to drill the hole through the wood so we could slide the bar through.

I had the hole just barely larger than the pipe and drilled a cross hole on the middle support in which I put another skinny bolt to keep the bar from twisting (this came later after we found out that with more than one of us doing pull-ups at a time we would end up twisting the bar on each other). I was able to solve the problem of how to make pull-up bars using what I had lying around our country home. The bars have worked out great and have not shown any signs of failing after 2 rounds of P90X.

Electronics

I had an old DVD player that we use to use upstairs in the kids entertainment area, but it had been replaced by the PS3 and its Blu-Ray player. So I moved it out to the workshop. Also I was lucky enough to have a spare TV set that was also left over from being replaced this past Christmas by the kids getting a flatscreen for their Christmas gift. So with my 27 inch CRT huge TV and as luck would have it a neighbor had also been getting rid of an old console 27 inch TV about six months before. At the time we did not know what we would use it for, but our neighbor did not have any room to keep it so we had moved it into our workshop. So with my old DVD player and my two left over TVs and all the appropriate cabling to set them up to run off the same player (as an engineer I have an old box of electronic cables that I keep for just such a project) I had the electronics covered.

Table Space

If there was something positive that came out of our kitchen flooding I guess it would be that I had a lot of cabinets ripped out and stored in my workshop. The original plan was to install the good ones in the workshop to be used, but wouldn't you know that they were just stacked in the corner collecting dust. So we stacked the ones designed to be on the floor along the edges of our workout area and placed the old counter tops on them for areas to set the DVD player and TVs on. We also set up a nice area where we can put our worksheets for writing down our reps as well as were we put the pitcher of water we need during the workouts.

Chairs

Of course we also had a nice set of 5 chairs that had been used as portable chairs for when the family or company came over. These black metal chairs turned out to be perfect for using to help with the pull-ups as well as being the right height for swinging our legs over during the Plyo routine or doing the multitude of sitting lifts for P90X.

Dumbbells

Several years ago as I started my own little gym out in the workshop, I got a set of dumbbells as a Christmas gift. These went from 3 lbs up to 35 lbs and had been used some over the years, but not on a regular basis. So I started out being able to use both dumbbells that I had from the past as well as a set of bands. As I'm sure many of you have tried to work out and stay in shape over the years we have all collected different pieces of workout gear and this time I was going to be able to re-use something that had been put in storage.

I used some extra space I had out in a building on my property that I call the workshop. You can set up your own home gym in your garage, in your basement, in your guest room, in your laundry room, in just about any extra space you may have at your home. If you do not have any extra space then rest assured that working out in front of your TV in the living room is what P90X was designed for, having your own home gym is just convenient.

My family and I got to spend some time together putting all the pieces together to make our home gym. It was a lot of cleaning, sweeping, moving, laughing, goofing around, and fun. Anytime you can all work together on a project and end up with something you all can use that not only is fun, but helps us to stay healthy and fit then it is not really work at all. We have enjoyed working out in the gym for over 6 months now and I must say it is one of the most used rooms at our home.

Make the Environment of Your Office Comfortable With Classy Office Chairs

You would not like to lose the task of selecting the furniture for your organisation at your hand. You consider all aspects very seriously when the responsibility of choosing the office furniture falls upon your shoulders. It is the demand of the present time. There are various points you should keep in your mind when you are going to purchase the furniture like office chairs, office desks, meeting tables, reception counter etc. for your office. You can have a look of some important points after reading the article given below.

Counter Height Stools

First thing you should keep in your mind when you decide to renovate your office is the comfort of the employees. It is something that helps in improving the relationship of your workers with you. You can easily cope up with this issue by placing the high-class furniture that include reception counters, meeting tables, office chairs and desks in your office area. The importance of office chairs in an office cannot be snubbed. They play a crucial role in providing the comfort to the workers and keep them away from back pain and fatigue. Some companies underestimate the significance of office chairs and fail to get the attention of their employees who start to switch off the company to get the better official environment. To overcome this issue, it is very essential to choose the best chairs that are capable of performing various job activities.

Counter Height Stools

Before purchasing the furniture you need to consider many points. First of all, make your own research on the nature of your business and then decide to purchase the furniture for your office. For instance, you run a business where employees have to work sitting at their chairs, and then the comfortable and supportive chairs should be your option. You can also go with the ergonomic chairs if your employees work on the computers. These chairs help in keeping your workers away from the strains and other problems like repetitive movement syndrome and carpal tunnel.

You can also choose the chairs after considering the health status of your employees. For example, the generic chairs which are incorporated with various features offering an amazing normal support, work well for the employees who have fit body. Without any doubt, a physical fit person is able to perform any kind of work in a better way, no matter what kind of job it is. The well toned muscle and healthy body also provides the good support to the back and neck parts. Well, it is advisable to you that if your employees are suffering from neck or back problems, then you should definitely go with the ergonomically designed office chairs because they provide them with the high back support.

It is generally seen that many companies work in different shifts. Singe chairs are the most demanding products for most companies. You can also find the chairs that are incorporated with adjustable features in various companies. You can easily adjust such kind of chairs in height according to judging the requirements and needs of your employees.

Counter Stools - a Combination of Fashion and Functionality

Have you ever discovered the artist inside you? Chances are you did, when it came to decorate your own home. We all understand what important role furniture play especially when we wish to design or re-design our home's interior and make it look as taken from a magazine. It therefore demands a careful selection of various furniture articles. Tables, chairs and stools are essential parts of the furniture we use at our homes. Of these, counter stools offer us significant functionality and stylish appearance when used in an appropriate setting.

Counter Height Stools

What are these stools exactly?

Counter Height Stools

Popularly known as bar stools, counter stools are used where ever counters exist. Like some other types of stools used inside a home, they are basically high single seats with or without a backrest. They are primarily used for kitchen counters or mini-bars if available in your home. They are usually without arms but some designs may feature those with short arms. They are usually made of sturdy materials keeping their frequent use in consideration.

What are they used for?

As the name implies, counter stools are used where counters are available. In a home interior setting, if you have kitchen counters or bar counters, these provide the most appropriate seating arrangements. While they are mainly used for taking breakfast, snacks or a round of drinks, other uses of these stools make them very appealing. Their placements and comfortable seating/turning arrangements allow reading or writing and enjoying entertainment sources like music or television.

Types, sizes, shapes and designs

Designs and styles of counter stools have a significantly diverse range. According to the materials of which they are made of, there could be wooden, fiberglass, plastic and metal (steel or wrought iron) versions available in the furniture stores. Many of them are made with a combination of leather or fabric seats. Although most of these stools are without backrest or arms, some designs include them to add to the comfort. As for shapes, the stools could again be quite different. They could be round or square shaped. They are usually higher than any other stools used in homes. This is because they need to conform to the height of the kitchen or bar counters. With a touch of modern design and style they may have swivel and wheeled options for turning or moving along the counter length. Many of the modern stools offer further flexibility and comfort by providing adjustable reclining and height options allowing even children to use them when necessary.

These stools are integral furniture articles that allow you to enjoy great family times over a cup of coffee, a round of drinks or breakfast. They could also be used for your children to do their homework since counters provide an excellent workspace. They are especially useful to entertain neighbors and guests as you work in the kitchen across the counter. But besides all these functionalities, counter stools make your home look elegant and beautiful as their designs speak of your taste and style.

Cherry Themed Kitchen Decor Is A Sure Hit

Creating a theme for your kitchen is an easy way to figure out how you can pull together the interior design of the room. A great way to give a friendly, inviting atmosphere to your kitchen space is to plan your decoration around a theme of a fruit décor. This not only evokes ideas of food and eating, but it also infuses the idea warmth and relaxation into your home. Like kitchen bars, a cherry décor makes a kitchen special, inviting and unique.

Counter Height Stools

One unique fruit themes that you might choose to use is a cherry décor. This would mean decorating with tones of red, green, and white and incorporating them into various elements of your kitchen. There are plenty of stores that sell cherry-themed materials. You will be happy to see that the prices on these items are completely affordable. Here are some tips to help you get started.

Counter Height Stools

To begin, if you are having a difficult time finding cherry patterned appliances and decorations, what you can use as a substitute is to simply fill the kitchen with red and white furniture, trim and cookware. Dishes, utensils, napkins and towels are just a few of the things that you can decide to make in red colors. This is one way to work around the problem of not being able to find anything specifically cherry-themed for your unique décor.
