Kitchen design tips and ideas - Kit Home Designs

Consider the natural flow between work zones in the kitchen.
This work path is often referred to as ‘the working triangle’.
The working triangle illustrates the path between the most frequently used work areas, such as the fridge, sink and cooking appliances.
Reducing the size of the working triangle will save you time and effort in your new kitchen. Using these four common kitchen layouts (Straight Line, L-shape, U-shape and Galley), and referring to the working triangle, select the design most suited to your new kitchen.

L-SHAPED KITCHEN

One of the most common layouts is the L-shaped kitchen, ideal for homes incorporating a small table for dining in the kitchen space.

STRAIGHT LINE KITCHEN

This layout is best when the space available for your new kitchen is limited. There is no working triangle shown because the workflow is based on a straight line.

U-SHAPED KITCHEN

If you have a large room, and want the most efficient working triangle, then the U-shaped kitchen is ideal. It is also perfect for
the demands of a family, offering maximum storage space with many wall cabinet options.

GALLEY KITCHEN

This layout is featured in many homes, as it provides two opposing working and storage areas. Add a couple of bar
stools to the island unit and this becomes a great kitchen for entertaining. Ideal for open plan living.
