U-Shaped Kitchen

U-shaped kitchens are ideal if you’re looking to maximize space and functionality. Along with plenty of cabinet storage, they offer flexibility in decor style and can be integrated into any kitchen footprint, large or small. This layout is extremely favorable for cooking connoisseurs because it’s easy to create an efficient kitchen thanks to the layout which takes advantage of three connecting walls of cabinets and an open space in the middle for entry or an additional island. Design doesn’t just stop with a u-shaped kitchen’s function, it also plays perfectly into the style of these kitchens, which welcome bold finishes, beautiful cabinetry, and an abundance of natural light.

L-Shaped Kitchen

If you desire a kitchen layout that provides space for many cooks-in-the-kitchen and additional onlookers, the L-shaped kitchen is for you! With a two-wall setup that tucks perfectly into a corner while still remaining open to the surrounding space, L-shaped kitchens work great in open-concept homes where they’re often paired with an expansive island or kitchen table. As one of the most classic kitchen layouts to date, this option also typically provides more cabinets than other layouts, while also creating an enormous amount of open space to move about freely. Complimenting colors, finishes, and hardware help bring each area in L-shape kitchens together.

Galley Kitchen

Often categorized as limited in style and size “straight kitchens”, galley kitchens today are anything but! Distinguished by a narrow layout with parallel counters -- ideal for smaller spaces, galley kitchens provide a space separated that doesn’t have to feel as claustrophobic as they may first feel. Opening galley kitchens up a bit can be as simple as adjusting the storage once provided by cabinets to open shelving instead to help break up the hallway feeling sometimes associated with a galley. Removing upper cabinets, adding in new colors, and adjusting surface types can also help transform and expand the space in your galley kitchen during a remodel.

Peninsula Kitchen

If you’re looking for a functional, dividing feature in your kitchen, a peninsula kitchen is ideal for you! With three sides of workspace, with one end attached to a wall, peninsula layouts provide a great deal of space and storage for a kitchen while serving as room dividers that separate your kitchen from your dining or living room area. To help these spaces feel as expansive as they are, cohesive features and finishes are recommended. Additionally, since most peninsulas in kitchens become the homebase of many families that gather for early morning breakfast and evening homework sessions, choosing high quality options that hold up over time will end up being worth the price paid!

G-Shaped Kitchen

Closely mirroring the layout of the previously mentioned U-shaped kitchen, the G-shaped kitchen has even more counter and cabinet space thanks to the addition of an extra peninsula to this area. Resembling the capital letter "G" in its cabinet and countertop configuration, if you love to cook with others in your kitchen, a G-shaped kitchen offers the functionality and space to do that! With countertops that wrap around the center of your kitchen, the continuous flow of counter space allows for expanded efficiency and style options. The extra space is fantastic for entertaining, your family’s breakfast bar, and much needed kitchen storage space.
