A good kitchen layout ensures good flow in your home. How do you know which kitchen layout is right for you? Understand the key features of the four most popular kitchen layouts before you start your kitchen renovation or a new build.

Galley Kitchen

This layout is characterised by a narrow passage between two parallel walls of cabinets and benchtops. One wall features cooking components and appliances, while the other is reserved for preparation and cleaning areas. This layout is idea for small to medium spaces.

L-shaped Kitchen

The L-shaped kitchen consists of two perpendicular walls of cabinetry and appliances, forming the letter ‘L’. It is common for an island bench to be added more for preparation space and storage. This layout is ideal for small, medium and large spaces and popular with open plan layouts.

U-shaped Kitchen

A U-shaped kitchen is made up of three walls of cabinetry and appliances. This layout is ideal for large, open plan spaces.

One-wall Kitchen

Also known as a ‘single-wall kitchen’, this layout consists of all cabinetry and appliances built along a single wall in kitchens with this layout. However, island benches are becoming an increasingly popular addition to this layout. This space-saving layout is ideal for apartments and small homes.
