What’s the Most Efficient Kitchen Shape?
Before discussing your kitchen layout, the expert designers from Muretti assesses the number of people using your kitchen, as well as your lifestyle choices and dining space preference. Your medium size kitchen design follows one of the common layouts unless your space is very unusual. Common layouts include:
- Pullman kitchen. The single-wall kitchen is perfect in a studio apartment or an open plan kitchen. As the cabinets and appliances all go alongside one wall, you get ample space to move around. You can even add a dining area for a cozier dining experience.
- Galley kitchen. The lean layout is ideal for couples or a small family. You require open plan to get the galley kitchen layout. The design gives you work spaces on opposing walls, with a walkway in between for movement. If you have enough space, a kitchen island acts as an opposing wall. A modern kitchen style with alternating laminate kitchen cabinets and glass front cabinets give this kitchen its ambiance.
- L-shaped kitchen. This is the most popular layout, as it gives you more surface area to work. The design uses two walls that are perpendicular to one another to create the L-shape effect. The best part of this design is that it looks good as a traditional kitchen or a contemporary kitchen.
- U-shaped kitchen. If you dreamt of a luxury kitchen, then this layout works best. Most medium size kitchen designs use the U-shape to give more space saving storage functionality. Wood kitchen cabinets in rich oak or maple look elegant in this layout. High gloss cabinets can create a strikingly eclectic look, especially with tasteful color combinations.
- Kitchen island. While not technically a layout, a kitchen island offers a convenient way to provide more workspace and storage area. If you crave an industrial kitchen, your medium size kitchen design can accommodate an island with metal kitchen cabinets. You can incorporate all the latest technology too.
