But what is the perfect layout for a kitchen?

There are many different options, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.

There is no doubt that your kitchen is the star of your home. When we are at home, we spend a lot of time in this room.

It’s the perfect place for everything from special gatherings to everyday events in most homes. When making decisions to get the kitchen of your dreams, getting the layout right will be crucial.

In designing this space, we must consider a series of previous aspects before making decisions. After all, many different elements are involved in its configuration.

 

 

In order to enjoy cooking, we must feel comfortable in this space.

Therefore, we need a kitchen to be functional and it must be redistributed following a series of guidelines that usually not everyone takes into account and that are equally important:

• Set aside a place for small appliances
• Take advantage of the trend of modular furniture and drawers as they take up less space
• Try to combine elements that are not usually used at the same time and place.

 

 

Perfect Kitchen Layout

Having established these guidelines, let’s get started on organizing and redistributing.

The first thing we need to consider is the type of kitchen we have. You can have a kitchen with or without an island, an L-shaped kitchen, a U-shaped kitchen, or a kitchen with parallel furniture, big or small.

There are many types of kitchens, and each has its own characteristics, so each has its own parameters. With thorough work, we can get it close to your needs and tastes despite the fact that we can’t use the same distribution in all types of kitchens. 

The following tips will help you create the perfect kitchen based on its shape:

• L-shaped kitchens are the most common. They have an indisputable advantage over others: they adapt to any size and allow us to make the most of the corners. The L – shaped layout is characterized by the ‘work triangle. This consists of ergonomically organizing the cooking area, sink, and storage or refrigerator. In addition, in this way, we will be able to take advantage of both the center of the room and the walls that are free of furniture.
• U-shaped kitchens. It is one of the best solutions for kitchens that need large storage space. Its main feature is that you can distribute the elements on the walls or leave one of them free, allowing you to make use of 3 fronts. Also, by using three walls, the distances will be shorter and the area where you can work and move around will be larger. If it is an elongated and narrow kitchen, this option is great.
• Kitchens with island. In recent times, it has become one of the most common bets to be considered the most aesthetic and functional option. Kitchens with islands have some distributions that require more space, but they are also the most successful and modern since they provide more workspace and extra storage.
• Parallel kitchens. The distribution of this kitchen is marked by fire by a premise: place the complementary elements close to each other. Although it is indeed the preferred distribution of kitchen professionals, more and more people opt for this form of organization. Distinguished by its facing lines. With this form, you will be able to move freely and without stumbling, in addition to making the most of all the space.
