1. One-line kitchen cabinets
The one-line cabinet is to place all the electrical appliances and cabinets along one wall, and the work is carried out in a straight line. This compact and efficient narrow kitchen design is ideal for small to medium families or housing where only one person is working in the kitchen at a time. If you use this design in a large kitchen, it may create too much distance between different functions. Consider using double-row wall cabinets or adding high wall cabinets to maximize the use of wall space.
2. L-shaped kitchen cabinets
The L-shaped kitchen is a practical kitchen design and the most common kitchen design, ideal for small spaces. Dividing the work area between two adjoining walls in this way creates the ideal work triangle. Stoves, sinks, sterilizers, and refrigerators, with worktops between each workstation to prevent spills and overcrowding.
3. U-shaped kitchen cabinets
The U-shaped kitchen provides easy access to everything, maximizes space for cooking and storage, and allows two people to work easily in the kitchen at the same time. But U-shaped kitchens are only suitable for kitchens with large spaces. Avoid crossing the operating surfaces so that two people can work comfortably at the same time without colliding. A distance of at least 120cm must be maintained between two rows of opposite cabinets to ensure sufficient space.
4. Island-shaped kitchen cabinets
The island-shaped kitchen has more work surface and storage space, which is convenient for multiple people to work in the kitchen at the same time. The kitchen island can also be fitted with a sink or oven/stove if desired. Before making a decision, see if you can make connections to the island hood’s ducts, circuits, and ventilation ducts, and make sure there’s a worktop between the stove and the sink. This design requires a lot of kitchen space. There should be at least a 120cm distance between the kitchen cabinet and the kitchen island to ensure that there is enough space for walking and opening of the cabinet doors and drawers. The kitchen island can also be used as a serving, bar table or room divider.
5. Two-character kitchen cabinets
Two-shaped cabinets are very common in foreign countries. Two-shaped cabinets can divide the kitchen function into two parts, one part is cleaning and processing materials, the other part is cooking and placing, and the two parts are distributed in a “two” shape. Even if you need to add other ingredients during the cooking process, just turn it around and it’s easy to use.
