Designing a kitchen can be one of the most frustrating tasks when building a home. After all, it has to be uncluttered, but inviting; efficient, but with enough space for many people; and a workspace, as well as a place to relax. Quite a lot to ask of one room! No matter how impossible it seems, it is possible to design your dream kitchen in just a few steps.

  1. What kitchen layout will work best in the space you have to use? There are five basic kitchen layouts - the L, the U, galley-style, single wall, and double L. The L is a good layout for a kitchen which is open to a dining room or great room. It uses space along two walls of your kitchen. This design works well for a kitchen which will have more than one cook, because there are no paths to be blocked.

    The second layout is the U. This is a design which can make very efficient use of a narrow space. Because it uses three walls, there is plenty of space for your "work triangle" - but more about that later. It does not work well for a kitchen with multiple cooks, unless your aisle is very wide.

    Layout number three is the galley-style kitchen. It is similar to the U, but it eliminates the wall on the end, leaving two parallel walls. Although this design gives you less workspace than a U-shaped kitchen, it allows access to the kitchen from both ends, which can be very useful.

    The next layout is the wall-style kitchen. In this layout, all of your appliances are lined up along a single wall. It is not a very efficient design for the cook, because you are constantly moving from one end of the kitchen to the other. However, if you are very limited on kitchen space, this is very much a space-saving design.

    The final layout is the double-L. This is a good layout for larger kitchens. It consists of a large L, running along two connecting walls, then a smaller L which has one leg against the third wall of the kitchen, with a peninsula extending into the kitchen. The double-L is the design preferred by many gourmet cooks because it gives you lots of space for various appliances, as well as extensive countertop space.
