The 6 Most Popular Kitchen Layout Types

Kitchen layout - is the shape that is made by the arrangement of the countertop, major
appliances, and storage areas. This floor plan helps define the kitchen's work triangle.

1. The One Wall Kitchen

Usually found in smaller kitchens, this simple layout is space efficient without giving up on
functionality. Consisting of cabinets installed against a single wall, the One Wall Kitchen can have
upper and lower cabinets or shelving over base cabinets, creating a clean aesthetic.

2. The Galley Kitchen

With a very economical use of cabinets, the galley kitchen consists of two rows of cabinets
facing each other, creating an inner passage or galley between them. By eliminating the need for
corner cupboards, this type of layout uses every millimetre of space without wastage. The
uncomplicated design also means that there are fewer special gadgets necessary, making this a
cost-efficient option as well.
3. The L-Shaped Kitchen
A practical layout option for small and large kitchens, the L-shaped kitchen has cabinets
along two perpendicular walls. Although the corner necessitates some clever cabinetry solutions to
make it practical, the open plan design of the L-shaped kitchen offers great flexibility in the
placement of appliances and work zones. While you can have the legs of the L as long as space
allows, it is best to keep it to less than 4.5m for ease of use.

4. The U-Shaped Kitchen

A great layout for larger kitchens, the U-shaped kitchen consists of cabinetry along three
adjacent walls. This type of layout provides plenty of storage but can feel enclosed if there are
upper cabinets on all three walls. To avoid this, choose upper cabinets along only one or two
walls, with open shelving, focal tiles or a hob hood on the other. The U shaped kitchen allows for
great workflow and multiple users at the same time.

5. The Island Kitchen

A very popular choice in open plan homes, the island kitchen provides a large work surface
or storage area in the middle of the kitchen. The island can incorporate a cooking surface, prep
bowl and bar or wine fridge. It can also be used simply as a preparation area or for enjoying family
meals. While the kitchen has to be big enough to incorporate an island, its placement is a great
way to create a natural traffic flow in the area.

6. The Peninsula Kitchen

The peninsula is related to the island kitchen and incorporates a kitchen counter that juts
out from a wall or cabinetry. This is a great solution that offers the benefits of a kitchen island
where space doesn’t allow for an independent island to be installed. The peninsula can be used
for food preparation, eating or other tasks while the cook is busy with meal preparation.
