Four basic kitchen layouts

[mannu]

Four basic kitchen layouts:
•   The galley shape with two walls of appliances squaring off opposite each other
•   The L-shape that locates the three main elements (sink, stove, and refrigerator) along two perpendicular walls forming a natural triangle
•   The U-shape that puts the elements on three walls
•   The G-shape, which is essentially a U-shape with a fourth wall (which could be a handy peninsula) to provide room for more counter space, cabinetry, and appliances.
