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!
