According to interior designer Cortney Bishop, the most common kitchen layouts for residential builds are U-shaped, L-shaped and one wall. The U-shaped design surrounds the user on three sides, while L-shaped has two adjoining walls. Both permit plenty of space for counters and cabinets. One wall (a.k.a. single wall) places the countertops, cabinets and appliances all on the same side. If large enough, any of these three layouts allows for a kitchen island. Another popular layout is the galley floor plan. A long, narrow design with parallel walls facing each other, the galley is often found in smaller homes.
Key Takeaways:
- One wall kitchen designs place countertops, appliances and cabinets all on the same side.
- U-shaped and L-shaped designs provide for longer countertops and, space permitting, an island in the center.
- Smaller kitchens often utilize galley design, with appliances and cabinets on opposite walls.
““We predominantly design one wall kitchens with an appliance/storage wall and floating island,” Bishop says. “In this situation, you lay out the majority of your working space and range in the single wall and position the fridge and pantry away from that area on its own wall.”
