Here are some layouts that you can take on your new kitchen:
1. L-SHAPED
The L-shape is created by two workspaces, made against two separate walls that are perpendicularly adjacent. They have a prominent space for opposition and provide an opportunity to turn on the island. If the island is excluded, the kitchen remains quite spacious. This kitchen is varied, so you can add a dining table with a lot of places so that you can hunt in the kitchen on certain days to break the monotony that can only be in the dining room.
However, this plan may not work well in large restaurants and hotels where more than one chef may need to prepare food and drinks. Therefore, it is better suited for small or medium-sized kitchens. Double kitchen plan is, in fact, the construction of an L-shape, built on the opposite side of the room, although more space is required.
To make your kitchen look more spacious, draw it in bright colors such as white or ivory, add a large window for natural lighting, fix the appropriate electric lighting and turn on appliances such as a refrigerator and stove.
2. GALLEY / PARALLEL
Named for its similarities with kitchens on ships and airplanes, this kitchen is built to look like a corridor. Cabinets, sinks and appliances lie on both sides of a long narrow walkway. It is sometimes called a single file kitchen when there is only one wall and a kitchen with two files when the cabinets are on opposite walls.
The biggest advantage is the space that it provides to anyone in the kitchen. It also saves space costs significantly during construction. Costs are minimized, since there is no island or additional worktops.
3. U FORMAT / GOOD
In such a kitchen, cabinets and appliances are fixed on three walls. The sink is located at the bottom of the U when the layout is viewed from above. As a rule, this is the first area that you see when you get into the door of this kitchen. The points of the kitchen triangle (stove, sink and refrigerator) are equally accessible. When mapped, three points form an equivalent triangle.
According to the Australian Housing Industry Association, this is the most common kitchen layout plan in Australia.
4. ISLANDS / BLOCK KITCHEN
The island is usually built in open-plan kitchens, which have a large area. It serves as a worktop, accommodates a sink and can also be turned into a dining area. This can save room for dining. It is ideal for more than a cook to use the kitchen in a relaxed atmosphere, since it can be used on all sides. When the points of a triangle are matched on the plan of the kitchen, they usually form a perfect right angle, as in an L-shaped kitchen.
At the end of the day, when choosing a layout for your kitchen, confirm with your architect that the standards comply with the Australian / New Zealand Standard approved on behalf of the Australian Standards Board.
