Layout Options


Your kitchen layout sets the locations of your appliances, establishes work zones, defines how much counter space you’ll have and allows for seating – if you want it. Consider these five common kitchen and peninsula design layouts as you plan your project.

From G-shaped kitchens with peninsulas to U-shaped kitchens with islands, each layout has advantages and disadvantages. Work with your designer to find a cabinet design plan that uses your space efficiently and fits the activities you want to do.

 

G-Shaped Kitchen Layout
KraftMaid G Shaped Kitchen

This layout uses nearly every square foot of available floor space by adding a peninsula or partial fourth wall of base cabinets to a U-shaped layout.


  • Adding a short return on the open side of U-shaped layout minimizes traffic flow in and out of the work zone.
  • There are plenty of places to set up specialized zones.
  • This layout features the most corner base cabinets. Use corner storage solutions in your design plan to maximize utility in these awkward spaces.
  • Usually best for larger kitchens. (The narrower entrance into the work zone can make a cook feel claustrophobic.)
