Modular Kitchen Furniture

Planning your modular kitchen is a big step, not to mention a big investment. The layout of your kitchen will help you decide where different aspects of the kitchen will be located because of certain restrictions. For example, the sink will be placed closest to the water outlet. Since most of us live in apartments where we do not have the freedom to start from scratch and build any layout we want, it is likely that the general shape of the kitchen will be decided for us by the builders. Nevertheless, as much as possible, try to keep the Golden Triangle at mind while planning the kitchen.

1. U SHAPE

If your home has a large kitchen space or you are fond of cooking, the U-shaped kitchen layout is likely to suit your best. This layout has the most efficient work triangle and provides the most storage space as well, with plenty of wall and floor cabinets and more counter space too. This also makes it ideal for family homes. The U Shaped Modular Kitchen fits into longer spaces, affords much storage and counter-top space and is very versatile.

2. L SHAPE

This is one of the most commonly applied kitchen layouts and is ideal for smaller homes. It makes efficient use of minimum floor space and gives you the advantage of easily incorporating a small dining table within your kitchen. This L-shaped Modular Kitchen layout is small, compact, discreet very versatile, providing maximum storage.

3. PARALLEL

When it comes to cooking, the parallel kitchen is quite possibly the most efficient layout. With two, long working areas that face each other, it can be split into ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ work spaces. It provides plenty of counter space for appliances and maximizes storage as well. The parallel kitchen is suitable for most types of homes and is easily adaptable to your needs. The Parallel Modular Kitchen is apt for longer rooms, lines two opposing walls, affords plenty of room for movement and provides ample storage.

4. ISLAND SHAPED

An island kitchen is often the kitchen of choice in homes around the world. It combines either a straight line or L-shaped kitchen model with an unconnected island space. This space can be used as an extra counter area/breakfast bar or installed with a sink or stove-top. With its advantage of two opposing working and storage spaces, this kitchen is an ideal layout for open plan living. It is also great for entertaining. An island modular kitchen is versatile, helps in creation of separate storage and cooking spaces and has a contemporary look and feel.

5. G SHAPE

Similar to an island kitchen, a peninsula kitchen layout has a free-standing workspace that provides a secondary counter, work or entertainment area. Unlike an island, this peninsula is connected to the main workspace; making it accessible from three, rather than four sides. Often considered the ideal layout for homes with small kitchen areas, the peninsula provides all the advantages of an island worktop while utilizing less floor space.

6. STRAIGHT

Unlike the other layouts, this type of kitchen does not employ a work triangle, as the workflow is based on a straight line. This makes it ideal for studio and loft apartments; keeping your kitchen space to a minimum while still maintaining optimum efficiency. The Straight Modular Kitchen layout is compact, unobtrusive, and versatile and works for both small and large kitchen spaces.
