Island Layout
The island kitchen
layout prioritizes
movement with ample
space. Coordinating
the island’s design
with the rest of the
kitchen ensures a
cohesive look. Tailoring
the island’s layout to
its primary function
enhances functionality,
and it can serve as a
central social space.
Hanging pendant lights
above the island adds a
stylish touch.
U- Shaped Kitchen
The U-shaped kitchen
layout, ideal for two
workers, ensures efficient
workflow. Positioning
the sink near the cooking
area facilitates seamless
transitions. Adding
decor accents prevents
a boxed-in feel, while
clearly marked meal
prep and cleanup zones
enhance organization. Keep
the path obstacle-free
for a spacious and inviting
culinary space.

G Shaped Layout
The G-shaped kitchen
layout prioritizes
maximum storage by
grouping tall appliances
together without
disrupting the kitchen
triangle. Maintain
separation between
meal prep, cooking,
and cleanup areas.
Utilize a peninsula for
breakfast, enhancing
both functionality and
storage efficiency. This
design ensures a well-
organized and spacious
culinary workspace.

L- Shaped Kitchen
The L-shaped kitchen
layout, ideal for studio
apartments, optimizes
space by lightening
dark corners and
preserving the kitchen
triangle. Designate
the longer area for
meal prep and install
overhead cabinets to
free up counter space.
Avoid excessive decor
to prevent a cramped
appearance while
maintaining functionality
and efficiency.
Galley Kitchen
The galley kitchen, a
superb space-saver,
maximizes efficiency.
Allow ample space for
appliance doors to open
freely. Opt for shelves
instead of cabinets to
enhance accessibility.
Install sufficient
lighting and utilize
pullouts for storage
convenience. Keep the
refrigerator and sink
together, placing the
stove on the opposite
side for a streamlined
and functional design.
