Although designing a kitchen majorly depends on the amount o space you have, there are several kitchen layout ideas that would turn out beautiful regardless of the space. The four most common modular kitchen layouts are the L-Shaped, Straight, U-Shaped, and Parallel.
L-Shaped Kitchen Layout
This is one of the most commonly found kitchen layouts. The L-shaped Modular Kitchen layout is ideal for smaller homes as it makes maximum use of the available floor space. It gives you maximum storage and lets you easily incorporate a small dining table within your kitchen.
Straight Kitchen Layout
Unlike other layouts, this type of kitchen does not employ a work triangle as such – the workflow is based on a straight line. This layout is ideal for studio and loft apartments – it keeps your kitchen space to a minimum while still maintaining optimum efficiency.
U-Shaped Kitchen Layout
If your home has a large kitchen space, you might be able to fit a U-shaped kitchen layout in it. This layout has the most efficient work triangle and provides the most storage space as well (with plenty of upper, lower cabinets and tall units as well). You will also be able to have plenty of counter space, making it ideal for more than one person to use the kitchen at a time.
Parallel Shaped Kitchen Layout
When it comes to cooking, the parallel kitchen is quite possibly the most efficient layout. With two, long working areas that face each other, it can be split into ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ workspaces. It provides lots of counter space, storage and allows plenty of room for movement as well. The parallel kitchen is suitable for most types of homes and is easily adaptable to your needs.
