Kitchen layout

Kitchen
Kitchen layout — Galley
Galley
Best for
Narrow plans — the most efficient work triangle per square metre.
Watch out
Two people cannot pass comfortably while cooking; door swings at either end will fight the run.
Cost effect
Efficient: less run length than an L or U for the same storage.
Scope effect
Sets a minimum clear width between runs; confirm it before the plan is fixed.

Kitchen layout — L-shaped
L-shaped
Best for
The general-purpose answer — works in most rooms and leaves a natural dining or circulation zone.
Watch out
The corner is dead volume unless a corner solution is specified with it.
Cost effect
Moderate.
Scope effect
Pairs with a corner decision (DS11); leaving that open leaves storage unresolved.

Kitchen layout — Straight
Straight
Best for
Small apartments and utility runs where the kitchen is one wall.
Watch out
Everything competes for one run — sink, hob and fridge crowd each other and prep space suffers.
Cost effect
The least run length, so the least cabinetry.
Scope effect
Appliance positions must be settled early; there is no second wall to move something to.

Kitchen layout — U-shaped
U-shaped
Best for
Cooks who want maximum storage and worktop with everything in reach.
Watch out
Needs real floor width; two corners means two corner problems and a closed-in feel in a small room.
Cost effect
The most run length of the four.
Scope effect
Two corner solutions to decide, and the open end must still take a door or circulation.
