One of the most efficient kitchen layouts for the modern home is the L-shaped kitchen. L-shaped kitchens offer an easy and efficient workspace and allow appliances and cabinets to be installed along right angled walls with an open area in the centre. The L-shaped kitchen layout offers a range of advantages:
The most efficient kitchens are designed with the ‘working triangle’ in mind. The working triangle allows you to move easily between your sink, oven/cooktop and refrigerator.
L-shaped kitchens are a great proponent of the working triangle. With work stations set out on two different walls in L-shaped kitchens, you don’t have to walk too far to reach different zones, making meal prep more organised!
L-shaped kitchens are tucked into corners and usually have two open ends which allows for different entries and exits. This means traffic can flow freely through the space.
A free flowing kitchen can be really beneficial when entertaining because less traffic jams mean more room and less stress when preparing food!
L-shaped kitchens only use two walls which means they naturally open up space. This is ideal if you want to open your kitchen to another room; typically a dining room, living room or family room.
Open plan kitchen designs make life easy when entertaining – you don’t miss out on the fun!
The open space of an L-shaped kitchen is also great for a table and chairs making meal time relaxed and easy.
