KITCHEN LAYOUT

The three primary kitchen work stations which create the work triangle are:

1. The food storage. Your refrigerator and pantry are the major items here.
Cabinetry like Lazy Susan or swing-out pantry units add function and convenience. Options like wine racks, spice
racks, and roll-out trays help to organize your groceries.

2. The preparation/cooking. Your range, oven, microwave, and smaller appliances are found in this area. Counter
space is important in this section.Conserve space by moving appliances off the counter with appliance garage
cabinets and space-saving ideas like towel rods and pot lid racks.

3. The clean-up. Everyone's least favorite activity is one of the kitchen's most important - clean-up. This area is
home to the sink, waste disposal, and dishwasher. Cabinetry for this station is designed to organize the trash bin
cabinet and roll-out tray baskets for storage convenience

DETERMINING YOUR KITCHEN’S LAYOUT

After learning about the work triangle in the section "Understanding Basic Kitchen Layout,"you will now see how the
work triangle functions in each layout and the advantages each layout offers.

There are five primary kitchen layout shapes - the U-Shaped, L-Shaped, Island, G-Shaped, Corridor/Gallery,
and Single Wall shapes.

1.The U-Shaped Kitchen


Named for the "U" shape it resembles, this kitchen is popular in large and small homes alike.
 Perfect for families who use their kitchens a great deal
 Provides plenty of counter space
 Efficient work triangle
 Can convert one cabinet leg into a breakfast bar
2. The L-shaped kitchen-This kitchen shape is one of the most flexible and most popular, providing a compact
triangle.
*Very flexible design lay out
* Major appliances can be placed in a variety of areas
* Work areas are close to each other
*Can easily convert to a U-shape with a cabinet leg addition

3.The Island Option. Islands are extremely popular in homes today and are most often seen in L-Shaped kitchens.
Islands can not only keep work areas traffic-free, but also create a wealth of extra counter and storage space. An island
can be an indispensable food preparation station or act as a butcher block area. The island is also an ideal place to add
an extra sink or an island grill.

4. The G-Shaped Kitchen - Built very much like the U-Shaped with the addition of an elongated partial wall, the
G-Shaped kitchen offers a great deal of space.
*Ideal for larger families needing extra storage space
*Plenty of counter and cabinet space
*Multiple cooks can function well in this layout
*Can convert one cabinet leg into a breakfast bar or entertaining area
5. The Corridor/Galley Kitchen - This style kitchen makes the most out of a smaller space.

 Appliances are close to one another
 Easy for one cook to maneuver
 Can easily convert to a U-Shape by closing off one end

6. The Single Wall/Pullman Kitchen - Designed for homes or apartments, the single wall kitchen offers a very open
and airy feel.
* Ideal for apartments and smaller homes
*Works well with the open designs found in many contemporary homes
*Small moveable table can provide eating space
*Can be enhanced with the addition of an island
