The layout of your kitchen can significantly affect how it functions. The layout you choose will depend on the size of your space, how much your kitchen is used, and where fixed features like windows are located.
Let’s take a look at six different kitchen layouts.
1-L-shaped Kitchen
An L-shaped kitchen is a popular choice, using two adjoining walls to form an ‘L’. This can suit both small and open-plan spaces, leaving plenty of room for dining while creating a practical workflow.
2-Single Line Kitchens
A single line kitchen sees cabinets and appliances placed along one wall. It’s space-saving, making it well suited to compact homes and apartments.
3-Galley Kitchen
In a galley kitchen, there are two parallel runs of cabinets and appliances with a walkway in between. Because everything is close together, it can save time walking between appliances and often creates plenty of worktop space, too. Made to measure kitchen doors www.happy-doors.co.uk/shop/products/kitchens are a great idea to maximise storage space in a galley kitchen, and they have the added benefit of being available in a vast array of colours and styles.
4-Island Kitchens
An island kitchen includes a freestanding unit in the middle of the room, creating extra storage, preparation space and seating, while making the kitchen feel more sociable.
5-U-Shaped Kitchen
U-shaped kitchens see cabinets and worktops arranged around three walls. This creates ample storage and workspace.
6-Peninsula Kitchen
Peninsula kitchens feature cabinets extending from a wall, adding extra worktop and storage space.
