MODULAR KITCHEN TYPES

U-SHAPED KITCHEN

This three-wall kitchen layout is generally larger and more space is provided for cooking, cleaning, food preparation, and storage. The U-shaped kitchen is an enclosed design that is very private. It takes over three adjoining walls, giving continuous counter space and plenty of storage in both floor and wall cabinets. Larger U-shaped kitchen layouts allow for multiple people to work at different counters at the same time. Smaller U-shaped kitchens are ideal for the single user. Due to its closed design, the U-shaped keeps onlookers out of the main working area, and it maintains the privacy of the kitchen activities. In this layout, your working triangle can be spread across three walls, with your sink on one wall, your refrigerator on another wall, and your cooking range on the third wall. Ideally, the U-shaped kitchen is better in a larger space, where users can have enough room to move around without bumping into one another.

L-SHAPED KITCHEN

The L-shaped kitchen is one of the most popular and versatile layouts. With an increase on open-room loving, the L-shaped kitchen is very popular. This kitchen layout is very spacious and accessible. The L-shaped kitchen is built into a corner, and it has adjacent, perpendicular walls that provide an extensive amount of counter space to extend and work easily. With this layout, the kitchen size can range from small to large, adjusting to any length you prefer. Your working triangle in the L-shaped kitchen can easily be stretched, with your sink and refrigerator on one wall and your cooking range on another wall. The L-shaped kitchen is ideal for those who frequently entertain and invite guests because its open design allows for multiple users to spread themselves while using the kitchen. You can also complement this open design by adding an eating space, such as a high table and chairs!

IN-LINE KITCHEN

This one-wall kitchen layout is a simple, yet functional design. It is ideal for smaller spaces such as a studio apartment, where everything is within easy reach, including your appliances, cabinets, cooking tools, and ingredients. This compact layout is ideal for the single user so they access all components of their kitchen easily. It also adds to an open floor plan, where any user is able to interact with others while using the kitchen. To maximize the space and minimize the visual clutter in this layout, everything can easily be hidden behind sliding or pocket doors. In a straight kitchen your working triangle is placed in a linear design. Ideally your sink is between the cooking range and the refrigerator with plenty of counter space in between. With this layout, you can easily add a dining table to create a more social and interactive atmosphere.

PARALLEL KITCHEN

The parallel kitchen is one of the most classic and efficient layouts. It allows for maximum efficiency in a small amount of space. Many restaurants serving large numbers of people appreciate the parallel kitchen, where all appliances and items are within easy reach. The parallel kitchen greatly complements any rectangular space, as the layout consists of two long working areas directly across from one another. The working areas can be of any length, depending on your preference. With this kitchen, you can easily divide your working areas for specific tasks. Ideally, you can designate one workspace as a wet side and the other work space as a dry side. This will increase efficiency and allow for better organization of your space. In the parallel kitchen, you can have your working triangle with your stove and sink along one side, and your refrigerator along the other side.

ISLAND KITCHEN

Such a kitchen type perfectly suits for rooms which are large and made with open-plan. A spacious feel is had when such an arrangement is followed. When the available space is ample, home owners can prefer this type of modular kitchen to realize their dreams.
