Galley Kitchen Layout
Consists of two parallel runs of units forming a central corridor. Emphasizes efficient use of space, but can limit interaction with other areas of the house.
U-Shaped Kitchen Layout
Features three walls of cabinets/appliances. It provides a great amount of storage and counter space, but requires sufficient floor area to avoid a cramped feeling.
Open Plan Kitchen Layout
Blends the kitchen with other living areas into an open living space, encouraging social interaction and a more spacious feel but requiring careful aesthetic coordination.
Island Kitchen Layout
Includes a free-standing workspace that complements the primary workstation, ideal for entertaining and multi-tasking in a larger kitchen.
L-Shaped Kitchen Layout
Comprises two adjoining perpendicular walls. It's a versatile layout that optimizes corner space and is suitable for both small and medium-sized kitchens.
Peninsula Kitchen Layout
Involves a connected island that converts an L-shaped layout into a horseshoe, or a U-shaped layout into a G-shaped design. Allows for a natural traffic flow in the kitchen.
One-Wall Kitchen Layout
Features a single wall of cabinets and appliances, ideal for small spaces. Key concepts include space-saving, simplicity, and limited workflow zones.
G-Shaped Kitchen Layout
Enhances the U-shaped layout with additional peninsular space, often including seating. Good for those desiring maximum counter and storage space without a separate island.
