What are the kitchen layouts?

I-Shaped Kitchen

An I-shaped kitchen is one in which all appliances and cabinets are placed along one wall and work is done in a straight line. This compact, efficient narrow kitchen design is suitable for small to medium sized families or for housing where only one person is working in the kitchen at any one time. Using this design in large kitchens can result in too much distance between different functions.I-shaped kitchens can consider double rows of connecting wall cabinets or adding connecting high cabinets to maximize the use of wall space.

I-Shaped Kitchen + Kitchen Island

The kitchen island has more countertop and storage space, making it easier for multiple people to work in the kitchen at the same time. If needed, you can also install a sink or an oven/stove on the kitchen island. Before deciding, check to see if you can make the plumbing, electrical and vent connections for the kitchen island range hood, and make sure there is an operating surface between the stove and sink.

L-Shaped Kitchen

The L-Shaped Kitchen is a practical kitchen design and the most common kitchen design, ideal for small spaces. By dividing the work area in this way between two connected walls, you get the ideal work triangle. With a stove, sink, sterilizer, and refrigerator, each workstation is left with an operating surface between them to prevent spills and overcrowding of items.

U-Shaped Kitchens

U-shaped kitchens provide easy access to every item, maximize space for cooking and storage, and allow two people to easily work in the kitchen at the same time. But U-shaped kitchens are only suitable for kitchens with a lot of space. Avoid cross-setting of operating surfaces so that two people can work comfortably at the same time without colliding. Two rows of opposing cabinets must be spaced at least 120cm apart to ensure that there is enough space.

II-Shaped Kitchen

II-Shaped Kitchen is a kitchen where two rows of work and storage areas are created along two opposite walls. If food preparation is the main focus of the kitchen, then this design is a great advantage. ii kitchens don't need a lot of space, a door or window at the end of the kitchen is sufficient. The two opposing rows of cabinets must be spaced at least 120 cm apart to ensure that there is enough space to open the doors. For a narrow space, choose cabinets with a depth of 60cm on one side and 35cm on the other.
