2. A kitchen is so much more than just beautiful cabinets and
high-tech kitchen appliances. While the heart of your home
definitely needs its own style and colour scheme, we for sure
cannot ignore the most important part of the whole design process,
which will determine the whole functionality of your kitchen. A
kitchen layout focuses on the placement of important aspects of a
kitchen such as sinks, countertops, windows, doors, furniture,
cabinets and appliances, therefore, it is absolutely essential for
you to first map out your most functional layout.
3. One-Wall Kitchen This type of kitchen layout is mostly
suitable for small homes whereby all cooking tools, appliances,
counter spaces and cabinets are easily accessible along a single
wall. As an important safety consideration, counter space are
presented on both sides of the range, and the sink is often placed
between the range and refrigerator for clean-up convenience. Galley
Kitchen Considered the most efficient kitchen layout as compared to
the other layouts when it comes to cooking, galley kitchen make use
of long, narrow space between appliances and counter space to cook.
It also maximises a typically small, cramped space with alternating
appliances, cabinetry, and counter space. While truly efficient for
cooking, this corridor-style kitchen layout however limits
interaction with family and friends as it does not have room for a
dining area.
4. Work Triangle Kitchen The holy grail of all kitchen layouts,
this classis layout utilises maximum efficiency and minimise time
effort by placing primary appliances such as fridge, sink and range
at corner points of a triangular workspace. L-Shaped Kitchen A
corner kitchen consisting of two walls, this layout typically
involves one main wall of cabinets and sink or range, perpendicular
and adjacent to another shorter wall. An L- Shaped kitchen has open
concept spaces which can accommodate more than one cook, thereby
allowing interaction and conversation between cooks and
guests.
5. U-Shaped Kitchen A U-shaped kitchen layout is designed to
accommodate only one primary cook with a lot of counter and cabinet
spaces. Connecting to the rest of the home by keeping one side
open, the U-shaped kitchen is usually quite small and offers no
space for a kitchen table and chairs.
