There are several layouts of kitchen:


  • Single LineWorks well in small spaces and provides extra floor space. Most of the storage should be located overhead, while the appliances are situated under the bench top, leaving a large workspace for chopping and other kitchen activities. Position workstations and appliances so that work flows along it for efficiency and safety.This layout can be inefficient for serious cooks however, and if there is a doorway at either end of the kitchen family members will use it as a traffic area. It is advised to position the stove so it gets the least possible through-traffic.

  • Double LineThis design is an efficient use of space, with cabinets down each side of the kitchen. Walking distance is minimal as cupboards are located behind you and in front of you.There needs to be enough space left between the two sides, so that you can cook effectively and so that people can walk around you. The two-way galley can suffer from the same problems with household traffic as the single-line kitchen.

  • L – ShapeBest suited to narrow rooms, long rooms or open-plan living areas, the L-shaped kitchen frees up workspace and provides a good amount of storage below the countertop. The design also minimizes walking distances between main working areas.While some storage may be lost at the corner of the cabinets, there are products on the market that help overcome this problem. This kitchen is often integrated with the meals area in open-plan designs.





  • U ShapeThis versatile design suits both small and large kitchens. Its efficient shape prevents household traffic from moving through the kitchen and offers maximum bench and storage space. One of the legs of the U can be used as a breakfast bar.If used in a small space the U design may leave you cramped for space and feeling closed in. Time also needs to go into thoughtful storage planning so that hard-to-access corner cupboards are used effectively.


  • Island ShapeCombines any kitchen design with a separate workbench (the island) which can be used for food preparation. This works best in large areas and can be helpful when more than one person is cooking at any time
