Kitchen remodeling can be a pain or can be where creativity comes in. Previously we had talked briefly about the kitchen work triangle. Its importance of being centered on where you can easily access the cooking and the meal prep area. Having a great layout is the key. There several different types of layout, here are some:
- L Shaped - Pictured above, this is the most popular kitchen design. Consists of a long leg and a shorter one and this type of design can be used in small and large kitchens. The L-shaped kitchen gives you the possibility of having a center island depending on the space available. In general, this design will have 2 or 3 appliances on one wall. The usual arrangement is to have the refrigerator at one end, the range or cooktop at the other end with the sink located in the middle. This shape of kitchen generally provides good traffic flow.
- Double L Shaped - This kitchen design has a lot of cabinet space and plenty of counter space. This design is used in large kitchens with two cooks, and it has two or more entering areas, which can cause traffic flow problems. To avoid some of these problems, create two separate working areas on each L of the kitchen so that workflow does not get interrupted by human traffic.
