Redesigning the kitchen is an exciting process. It produces a layout that suits your needs and provides an opportunity to maximize the space. However, with a variety of options, finalizing plans can be a challenge. Here are a few layouts to help you determine which kitchen design is best for your home.

What Are Some Common Kitchen Layouts?

1. L-Shape

In this kitchen design, all cabinets are along two walls that join together in the corner of the room. Two of the major appliances are on one of the walls while a third appliance is on the other.

This provides plenty of work surfaces while ensuring that everything is within reach. The floor is completely open and allows for heavy traffic without disrupting the cooking process.

2. One-Wall

Smaller homes tend to benefit most from this type of kitchen design. It places all appliances and storage areas along a single wall and leaves the rest of the space open. Install an island for additional counter space or include few chairs for dining.

3. U-Shape

Since these kitchens take up three individual walls, they have plenty of counter space. This makes it easier to prepare meals without family members getting in the way. You’ll also have the space to spread out appliances to prevent crowding.

4. G-Shape

Open layouts make it difficult to determine where one room ends and another begins. Create a clear boundary with a G-shaped design. Rather than just using the three available walls, a small peninsula is installed to use as a fourth wall. This breaks up the space while accommodating for additional work surfaces and seating.
