Kitchen Layout Options

Work Triangle

Sink, stove, and refrigerator relationship. Efficient movement between stations. Total distance under 26 feet ideal. Obstacles interrupt flow.

Common Layouts

Galley maximizes small spaces. L-shaped offers flexibility. U-shaped provides maximum storage. Island adds prep and gathering space.

Storage Planning

Inventory current kitchen items. Plan for appliance garaging. Consider pull-out and lazy susan options. Vertical space often underutilized.

Traffic Patterns

Avoid walking through work triangle. Consider multiple cooks scenario. Island clearance minimum 42 inches. Plan for appliance door swings.
