As a kitchen designer for almost 50 years, I like to share a bit of information about where to locate your dishwasher when you are either remodeling or building.

The above video goes into some important details. All too often architects, and sometimes kitchen designers, place a dishwasher in a kitchen in a location that may impede traffic or may be on the wrong side based on the handedness of the user(s). The above video explains...

A well-organized kitchen is essential for efficient meal preparation and cleanup. One key component that greatly contributes to a smooth workflow is the dishwasher.  A crucial consideration is the accessibility of the dishwasher for loading and unloading. The dishwasher should be positioned in a way that allows easy access without obstructing the flow of traffic in the kitchen. This is particularly important during meal preparation and cleanup when multiple people may be moving around the space. Avoid placing the dishwasher in a corner or directly across from other appliances or cabinetry that might interfere with its door when open.
