Types Of Kitchen Layouts For Your Next Reno

Your kitchen is the heart of your home. Whether you enjoy cooking up a storm or getting ready for guests, you can spend a lot of time in your kitchen.

Have you been thinking that your kitchen looks bland and needs a makeover? If so, the best place to start is with some planning.

When renovating your kitchen, there’s lots to consider. Don’t get carried away thinking about the cabinets, flooring, tiles, appliances and paint just yet.

A kitchen doesn’t have to simply look nice, it also has to be a functional and practical space. This is why the layout of your kitchen is so important. Here are some types of kitchen layouts to inspire you:

Island Kitchen

Perfect for open plan homes, the island kitchen provides a large work surface or storage area in the middle of the kitchen. It’s suitable for larger families needing more space.

Make the most of your island by using it as a space where family and friends can hang out while dinner is being made.

One Wall Kitchen

This simple layout is space efficient and highly functional. Cabinets and shelving are installed against a single wall, creating a clean look. To make this layout work, think vertically. Place your fridge at one end, oven in the middle and sink at the other end.

Galley Kitchen

A galley kitchen consists of two rows of cabinets facing each other, creating a passage between them. This is a simple design which makes economical use of the space. A galley kitchen is useful for larger families needing more space for storage and work.

L-Shaped Kitchen

An L-Shaped kitchen can suit either large or small kitchens. It features cabinets along two perpendicular walls. The open-plan design gives flexibility in where you place appliances and work areas. Make the most of the corner space by installing a walk-in pantry or breakfast nook.

There’s many ways you can reimagine your kitchen to better suit your family’s needs. Before doing a major renovation, we recommend talking to an expert builder for some advice.
