OPTIMISING YOUR KITCHEN LAYOUT: TIPS AND ADVICE FROM THE PROS
The analysis of the part step by step!
Our designers accompany you from the first stage of planning by analyzing your space to determine the configuration best suited to your needs. To do this, they rely on five main kitchen configurations: the U-shaped kitchen, the L-shaped kitchen, the I-shaped (or linear) kitchen, the hallway kitchen (or laboratory) and the kitchen with a central island. This choice is essential to optimize the functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics of your future layout.
U-shaped kitchen: maximized functionality and storage
The U-shaped kitchen is an ideal configuration for large rectangular rooms. It stands out for its high functionality and the freedom it offers in terms of furnishings. With three U-shaped countertop zones, it maximizes work surface while offering exceptional storage capacity. Everything is at your fingertips, making it a perfect choice for those looking for a space that is practical, ergonomic and user-friendly.
L-shaped kitchen: flexibility and space saving
The L-shaped kitchen is a versatile solution, particularly suitable for square or rectangular rooms. It allows for a fluid and functional layout, while optimizing the available space. Thanks to its angled layout, this configuration often frees up space in the center of the room, opening up the possibility of adding a small island for more countertops or storage. Although it offers a slightly lower work surface and storage capacity than the U-shaped kitchen, the L-shaped kitchen is still an excellent compromise between practicality, ergonomics and style.
Laboratory kitchen: efficiency in a small space
The laboratory kitchen, also known as a hallway kitchen, is ideal for long and narrow rooms. This dual in-line configuration maximizes the work surface by distributing the preparation areas on two parallel walls. With no corners to manage, layout is simplified and storage more accessible. Although the storage capacity is more limited than in a U-shaped kitchen, it is still optimised for small spaces and guarantees excellent ergonomics in everyday use.
Kitchen with central island: conviviality and versatility in the heart of the home
The kitchen with central island is an ideal configuration for spaces open to the living or dining room. Perfect for families and social life, it allows you to multitask with a generous work surface. The central island makes it easy to separate the prep, cooking and cleaning areas, improving efficiency in everyday life. Just like the U-shaped kitchen, this configuration offers plenty of storage options, while creating a warm and functional living space.
Once the first step has been taken and the ideal configuration for your space has been defined, all you have to do is move on to the next step: the design of your layout plan.
