Depending on the kitchen space, you can choose a different cabinet to make the kitchen more practical. Let’s take a look at what kind of kitchen cabinet layout does your home belong to?

First of all, we should know that the most important functional areas of the kitchen consist of five areas: storage, preparation, cleaning, storage and cooking. Experts believe that reasonable kitchen planning should start from the entrance and be divided into: storage area from left to right. The cleaning area, the preparation area, the cooking area, and the storage area are interspersed between the cleaning area, the preparation area, and the cooking area. In daily life, the corresponding items are stored according to the operation requirements of different areas.

Spatial planning is the first step. If the layout is unreasonable, it will not only affect the aesthetics of the kitchen, but also make the people who cook are dizzy in the kitchen, and the kitchen operation is unorganized. Generally, the layout of the kitchen can be divided into a single shape, a triangle, an L shape, a U shape, an island shape, and the like. Below, let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of various layouts.

Inline layout: suitable for narrow kitchens

The inline layout is suitable for small houses, small spaces can be used efficiently, and appliances, cabinets and consoles are positioned on one side of the wall.

Advantages: All functional partitions are on the same line, making it easy to find things.

Disadvantages: Due to the small space, it is not conducive to space utilization.

L-shaped layout: a more square kitchen

As its name suggests, the L-shaped layout is a good design for the corner, and it is also more common because it does not require a large kitchen area. The layout of this type of kitchen is generally placed on the longer side of the L-shaped stove and the hood. A small group of cabinets or refrigerators can be placed on the shorter side of the L shape.

Advantages: It solves the problem of corners, does not waste space, and is more layered.

Disadvantages: This kind of kitchen has a relatively narrow flow space. If you want to cook with friends, there are more people in the kitchen, and it may seem crowded.

U-shaped layout: square kitchen

As an extension of the L-shaped kitchen cabinet, the general practice is to add another countertop on the other long side, or a high cabinet on the entire wall to accommodate more items or appliances. The basic function of the “U-shaped” kitchen is better, the operation process is reasonable, and it can accommodate multiple people. The cabinets of this design are fully equipped to make full use of the space and expand the operating area.

Advantages: The space utilization rate is high. From the design point of view, the washing area, cooking area, operation area and storage area of ​​the U-shaped kitchen can be clearly defined.

Disadvantages: There will be two blind spots, similar to the L-shaped kitchen design. The U-shaped kitchen cabinet will have corners and two, so it is easy to become a blind spot for vision and use, resulting in a reduction in actual space utilization.

Triangle work area: refrigerator, stove, sink

The triangular work area is a more classic design of the kitchen. In essence, the triangular layout of the refrigerator, stove, and sink can maximize the work area and minimize the time and effort of moving between electrical equipment.

Advantages: You can put the refrigerator at the entrance, so that no matter who wants to open the refrigerator, it will not disturb the people who cook.

Disadvantages: If the distance between the refrigerator, stove and sink is too small, the kitchen will feel cramped and blocked. If the distance is too large, the people who cook will run around to get things.

The above is about the advantages and disadvantages of the various layouts of the kitchen, choose the one you want?
