L-shaped kitchens
Just like when you write the letter "L", one side is longer than the other side. Great in both a larger or smaller room, an L-shaped kitchen layout provides easy access to appliances and cooking utensils while allowing multiple people to move around comfortably without getting in each other's way.
L-shaped kitchen design
An L-shaped kitchen features two rows of cabinets set perpendicular to each other, creating a functional layout with two sides that meet at a 90-degree angle. This design offers several advantages, including increased storage space in the deeper corner area—perfect for larger pots and pans—more worktop space where the sides meet, and a natural workflow between the kitchen and the dining area. This means you won't feel cramped when entertaining guests.
Use the corner space
Instead of letting this valuable corner space go unused, it can be optimized with smart solutions such as corner cabinets, pull-out carousels, or rotating shelves. These features make it easy to store and access larger items like pots, pans, and small appliances that don’t fit well in standard cupboards. By making the most of the corner, you free up the rest of your cabinets and maintain a kitchen that feels both uncluttered and highly functional.
Add a kitchen island
Adding a kitchen island to an L-shaped kitchen further enhances the layout and aligns with the golden triangle rule. By positioning the fridge, cooktop, and sink at key points, the L-shape with an island makes food preparation, cooking, and cleanup efficient while also maximizing both storage and countertop space.
