L- Shaped layout
An L-shaped kitchen consists of work space on two adjoining walls perpendicular to each other.
This is the most popular kitchen design. It consists of a long leg and a shorter one and this type of design can be used in small and large kitchens. The L-shaped kitchen gives you the possibility of having a center island depending on the space available. In general, this design will have 2 or 3 appliances on one wall. The usual arrangement is to have the refrigerator at one end, the range or cook top at the other end with the sink located in the middle. This shape of kitchen generally provides good traffic flow.
Island grouping
In this arrangement equipment is placed back to back in the centre of the cooking area. There is need for sufficient space to allow for this, including adequate gangways around the equipment and space to place other items along the walls.
U-shaped
A U-shaped kitchen consists of work space on three adjoining walls, two parallel walls perpendicular to a third. There are no traffic lanes flowing through the work area. The base of the U-shaped kitchen is best when it is 10-18 feet wide.
A U-shaped kitchen can have legs as long as you want. You will need to divide that elongated leg into different work sites for efficient use
the work zones can be almost anything: sink, stove, then fridge...or stove, sink, then fridge. And so on. Because the arrangement is so small, the order does not really matter.
