Kitchen Layouts
The shape of your kitchen sets the rules for everything else — circulation, the work triangle, and where an island can go. Each guide includes an original top-down diagram.
- Galley Kitchen Design: Layout, Aisle Width, and StorageHow to plan a galley kitchen — one-wall vs. two-wall layouts, the aisle width you actually need, and storage and lighting moves that keep a corridor kitchen from feeling cramped.
- L-Shaped Kitchen Design: Layout, Corner Storage, and IslandsHow to plan an L-shaped kitchen — two counter runs meeting in a corner, the work triangle across both legs, solving the blind corner cabinet, and when the open quadrant can fit an island.
- U-Shaped Kitchen Design: Layout, Corners, and Interior WidthHow to plan a U-shaped kitchen — the three-wall layout that wraps a work zone, the interior width you need so two people can pass, handling both corners, and whether a peninsula or island still fits.
- One-Wall Kitchen Design: Layout, Zoning, and StorageHow to plan a one-wall kitchen — arranging sink, range, and fridge in a single line, maximizing vertical storage, and adding an island or cart opposite the run to recreate a working triangle.
