The layout you choose for your kitchen is crucial to its aesthetic appeal and functionality. There are many options to consider, each with its own advantages. If you're planning a kitchen remodeling project, but you're still undecided about the design you want, here are a few layouts that may work.

What Layouts to Consider for Your Kitchen Remodeling Project

1. Galley 

If you have limited space, a galley layout can help you maximize every inch of your kitchen. This plan involves two narrow rows of workspaces, cabinets, or appliances along both sides of a walkway.

Because it covers less space, a galley can be more affordable compared to other layouts. It also uses a compact kitchen triangle design, with the sink, refrigerator, and stove all within reach of each other. 

2. L-Shaped 

This layout is flexible and can work well with both small and medium-sized spaces. An L-shaped kitchen consists of workspaces attached to two adjacent walls. This kitchen remodeling plan reduces the walking space between counters and appliances. It also works well with an open kitchen plan, with no barrier between the workspaces and the dining area.

3. U-Shaped 

This layout features three adjacent rows of appliances, cabinets, and workspaces. The design can be implemented by lining three walls with kitchen amenities or taking an L-shaped kitchen and adding a counter at the other side to form a U shape.

This is an excellent option if you love entertaining or have kids to watch while working in the kitchen. They can sit on the island bench on one side of the U as you prepare the meal.
