How to Choose the Right Kitchen Layout for Your Home
The layout of your kitchen shapes how it feels to cook, gather and live in the space every day. Getting it right from the start makes all the difference.
Common kitchen layouts
Galley kitchens use two parallel runs and suit narrower rooms. L-shaped layouts work well in open-plan spaces and give you a natural corner for prep. U-shaped kitchens offer the most storage and worktop, while an island adds a social hub and extra workspace if you have the room.
Think about the work triangle
Wherever possible, keep your sink, hob and fridge within comfortable reach of one another. This ‘work triangle’ keeps cooking efficient and avoids unnecessary walking back and forth.
