For the one-wall and galley layouts, check out our previous blog post.
L-Shaped Kitchen
The L-shaped kitchen layout is considered to be the most advantageous of all kitchen designs. Whether you have a small or large space, an L-shaped plan is flexible, providing maximized storage and minimal corner cabinetry. This layout is perfect for multiple cooks, as it eliminates traffic flow issues through an open design. The addition of pantry cabinets can compensate for any space lost in a corner. The L-shaped layout also offers many options for appliance placement, with the refrigerator being highly recommended in one of the corners for easy access for family and visitors, without interrupting the cooking process. Another tip to consider is to keep the oven away from high-traffic areas if you have children or pets in the home. Adding an island is an optional feature that can further enhance the functionality of this versatile kitchen layout.
U-Shaped Kitchen
The U-shaped kitchen layout is ideal for spacious spaces, providing ample storage and work areas compared to one-wall or galley layouts. However, it’s important to note that adding an island may not be suitable for smaller kitchens, as it can create a traffic jam with only one entrance and exit. To open up the space and create a more airy feel, we recommend incorporating open shelves instead of using three-wall cabinetry.
