Kitchen Planning
Six classic kitchen plans — with strengths and the rooms they suit best — so you can start the conversation with clarity.
Two adjoining runs that wrap a corner — open on one side, efficient on both. Ideal when you want clear circulation and a natural work triangle without closing the room.
Advantages
Recommended spaces
Open-plan apartments, corner kitchens, and homes where cooking and living share the same volume.
Cabinetry on three sides creates a focused cooking bay with generous storage. Best when you want every metre of wall to work hard.
Advantages
Recommended spaces
Dedicated kitchen rooms and wider rectangular plans where three walls can take cabinetry.
A single linear run — honest, compact, and easy to keep tidy. The layout that respects a narrow footprint without feeling makeshift.
Advantages
Recommended spaces
Studios, narrow kitchens, bachelor flats, and secondary cooking zones.
Two facing runs with a corridor between them. Compact, precise, and surprisingly luxurious when clearances and lighting are right.
Advantages
Recommended spaces
Corridor kitchens, mid-size apartments, and homes where depth is limited but length is available.
A freestanding centre for prep, seating, or a hob — turning the kitchen into the social heart of the home when the room can afford the clearance.
Advantages
Recommended spaces
Larger open-plan homes with enough aisle width around all sides of the island.
A counter that extends from a run of cabinets — half island, half divider. Softens open plans without needing a freestanding island.
Advantages
Recommended spaces
Open kitchens that need a gentle boundary, breakfast bars, and mid-size family homes.
