Corridor/galley design
Corridor/Galley Corridor designs are incredibly
efficient because you can move around the entire
kitchen in just a few steps. Counters and storage
are limited, however. And, people walking through
can get in the cooks way.

peninsula
Peninsula A peninsula offers an open design that
incorporates the kitchen and dining room. Its
layout brings the whole family together by
creating an extra common space.
Similar to U peninsula used for cook center or
food prep.

L-shaped
L-Shaped The L-shaped kitchen is one of the most
popular. Its work triangle is uninterrupted by
traffic and there is ample room for appliances.
Also, by lengthening the leg of the L, you can
create even more storage and counter space.
Located on 2 adjacent walls, not for large
kitchens, inefficient if walls are too long.

sides with storage, countertops and appliances.
This saves a lot of steps. If the U is big
enough, you can add an island work station in the
