Which Kitchen Design is the Best for Me?

Kitchens are very personal to us and like you, your kitchen must do more than cook. It must host friends, clean, act as a diner without falling apart. Before you decide on which kitchen design is best for you, you must first consider the ergonomics of your kitchen.  

If you have a small space and are looking for how to completely optimise the available space, then your best bet is the one-wall kitchen. With cabinets installed against one wall, the kitchen can have upper and lower cabinets over base cabinets to create a clean aesthetic and highly functional kitchen. 

 2.The Galley Kitchen 

For a sleek and minimalist modular kitchen setup, the galley kitchen is the choice. With two rows of cabinets facing each other, it creates an inner passage or “galley” between them. This layout eliminates the need for corner cupboards and has an uncomplicated feel to it. The galley kitchen layout is a great way to take advantage of every inch of available space. 

A fantastic option when used in an open plan home, the L-shape allows for greater flexibility in appliance placement and supports the work triangle. The L-shaped layout is an efficient layout for small or medium kitchens with cabinets lined up on two perpendicular walls. 

This layout provides plenty of storage but can feel enclosed because all the walls are filled with cabinets. You can include an island in the middle (great with open plan kitchens), and choose upper cabinets along only two walls with open shelving. This layout allows for great workflow and multiple users in the kitchen. 

Very popular with open plan homes, the island kitchen gives a large work surface or storage in the middle of the kitchen. A kitchen island helps to direct traffic flow in the kitchen and also very functional. You can design your modular kitchen around the island. 

This layout incorporates a kitchen counter that juts out of the wall. This is a fantastic alternative that offers the benefits of a kitchen island when there is a space limitation for installing an independent island. The peninsula is multi-purpose and can be used for food preparation, eating, or any other task – an excellent solution for a small kitchen space.
