HÄFELE shares a mini guide with tips to keep in mind when creating a kitchen with purpose, which can accompany all generations found in a home.

The kitchen is the heart of the house, and today it is the nerve center where even several generations meet and interact. There is the one who loves to cook, the one who is on the go, the one who enjoys accompanying others while they perform different tasks.

For all this, we increasingly ask for more comfort and functionality. The #HÄFELE Experts share some points to consider if we plan to remodel the kitchen.

A kitchen must have 5 confluence areas:
Storage of consumables
Preparation
Cleaning/waste
Storage of non-consumables
Cooking

It is also key how they triangulate the cooking area, the refrigerator (consumables area) and the sink (cleaning area).
The shape will be defined according to its size. If we have a small space, the most efficient thing is to work linearly or parallel. If, on the other hand, the kitchen is medium-sized, the L-shaped format allows us to make the most of the corner. For larger ones, the most advisable thing is a U-shaped distribution, or adding an island (where it is recommended that there be at least 1.20 meters on each side). For a kitchen integrated into the living room, the G format is ideal, adding a bar as an additional point.

If we want to make the most of the storage space in the cupboards, lift-up doors are recommended, with a free space push system for example, which is characterized by its compact design.
On the other hand, on the under counter, the corner pieces or removable baskets allow us to access all of the stored items without having to make great physical efforts that can be limiting for older inhabitants.
The removable columns and LED lighting inside the furniture are also ideal for all members of the home.

For the little ones, who have a great sense of environmental responsibility, waste sorting bins are important allies.

For millennials, USB connectors cannot be missing, making it easier to recharge their devices.

It's about finding harmony between design, aesthetics and functionality. And to add greater value to the intelligent reconfiguration of spaces, it recently opened its own second premium showroom. In 2019, it opened the first experimental location on Avenida del Libertador at 7900 in CABA with a total of 80 m2. Now it is the turn of “Mundo HÄFELE Triunvirato” (Av. Triunvirato 3600, corner Mario Acha. Villa Urquiza, CABA), with more than 53 m2. A site where construction professionals, interior designers, decorators and end users can see and discover the most innovative proposals for redefining interior space.

The proposals of Mundo HÄFELE Libertador and Triunvirato join the recently inaugurated HÄFELE Business Center, a free space to boost the businesses of developers, architects, interior designers, manufacturers and distributors through advice and assistance in hardware, intelligent design and lighting systems.
