Explain four types of kitchen layouts
▪Usually found in smaller kitchens, this simple layout is space efficient without giving up on functionality.
- This layout allows for unimpeded traffic flow.
- There are no barriers within the kitchen space, allowing for maximum openness.
- Counter space is limited.
- It does not utilize the classic kitchen triangle, and hence may be less efficient than other layout types.
- Limited space makes it difficult or impossible to include a seating area.
▪With counters on both sides, this layout is highly functional because it uses the classic kitchen triangle.
▪This layout gives a bit more space for counters and cabinets.
- Crowding between the two main workspaces may be a problem because the aisle is narrow. As a result, it's not a good layout when two cooks like to work at the same time.
- When two remaining walls are open, foot traffic through the kitchen can be inconvenient.
- Limited space makes it difficult to include a seating area.
- L-shaped designs offer increased countertop space when compared to the galley and one-wall layouts.
- This layout is best for adding a kitchen island because you have no cabinets constricting placement of the island.
- L-shaped kitchens make it easier to include a table or other seating area within the kitchen.
- Endpoints of the kitchen triangle (i.e., from range to refrigerator) may lie quite far apart.
- Blind corners are a problem. Corner base cabinets and wall cabinets can be difficult to reach.
- This arrangement maintains good workflow by means of the classic kitchen triangle.
- The closed end wall provides plenty of space for extra cabinets.
- With appliances on three walls and the fourth wall open for access, it is difficult to include a seating area in a U-shaped kitchen
