Design of the Kitchen | Kitchen Shape

When it comes to designing a new kitchen, most people aren’t aware of the different styles out there. Here are some of the most common arrangements.

 

U-Shaped

 

U-shaped kitchens are a favorite among homeowners, as they are ideal for both large and small rooms. As its name suggests, this configuration creates a horseshoe-shaped work area with cabinets and counters that make up three connected walls. U-shaped kitchens generally provide maximum space for cooking, cleaning, food preparation, and storage. This layout is often considered to be the most efficient kitchen floor plan because it provides a lot of open space. It is also advantageous in the sense that two or more people can cook at the same time. It sometimes includes a central island that can be used as a workspace or an area for seating, creating a more social room for everyone in the home.

 

L-Shaped

 

This is a popular choice for small to medium-sized rooms because its open floor plan allows for two walls worth of space for custom or RTA cabinets. With an L-shaped design, the shorter wall can be utilized for cooking appliances, while the longer wall can provide a spot for a sink/dishwasher and a refrigerator at its end.  It also allows for the addition of an island or table. An L-shaped kitchen is usually concurrent with the workflow triangle that allows you to move easily between your sink, oven, and refrigerator.  If you entertain often, this might be your best bet.
