Kitchen Layouts

A Kitchen layout that\’s carefully considered also ensures that the working space is a practical area to prep and cook in. L-shaped kitchens have a tried and tested basic layout and have survived the test of time because of their amazing practicality.

The one-wall kitchen layout features the whole setup located against a single wall, from cabinets to appliances.

It’s perfect for small homes like studio apartments and lofts and keeps everything within easy reach.

This kitchen layout however doesn’t use the work triangle by default, but can be incorporated if a kitchen island is installed by having the stove top or sink located on the island. Every component is organized by working area to make the room flow more intentionally.

A common question asked is “what is a kitchen hutch?”

Well, in short, a hutch is a piece of furniture that is made up of two parts. The lower part is a cabinet similar to a buffet or credenza, which are also known as sideboards, and the top part is a display case made up of shelves that sits on top of these sideboards. So, simply put, it’s a shelf or cupboard for storage.

A basement kitchen requires similar considerations as the main floor kitchen but with ramifications for below the ground. Poor planning or mistakes in the installation process can be costly and lead to more money spent than originally planned.
