Design Tips

Section 3: Typical Layouts When looking at kitchen design, there are four typical layouts that are used as a starting point. These are: 1. L Shape 2. U Shape 3. Single Galley 4. Double Galley Unless you are renovating your kitchen completely you will find that your design will match one of these layouts and areas such as appliances, corner solutions and workspace will all be affected by the layout you have.

	L Shaped Layout This is one of the most frequently used layouts and is suitable for both small and large kitchens. Typically, this layout will include two work zones on one wall (cooking and refrigeration) with the third (washing) located on the other wall.
	U Shaped Layout The typical U Shape will use three walls instead of two and provides significantly more worktop space. The sink is normally located in the middle wall with cooking and refrigeration positioned opposite each other.
	Single Galley Layout Typically used when there is little space available, the single galley layout incorporates all three work zones on one wall. It is recommended that the sink is located in the centre with cooking and refrigeration placed on either side.
	Double Galley This layout is used with very narrow kitchens and those with doors at either end. Two work zones, usually cooking and refrigeration, are placed on one wall with the washing area opposite.
