If you are thinking about kitchen refurbishment in Surrey, you may be wondering about the layout. Let’s look at four options.
1. Parallel
Parallel layouts work for long, galley-style kitchens. By having cupboards along two opposite walls, you can make a narrow space feel bigger and create an efficient environment. If you have a window at the far end, this will draw your eye to the space beyond the room; in turn, this will make it feel more spacious and airier.
2. L-shaped
An L-shaped layout works best in an open space, creating an inviting zone with visual interest. Although this can work in both a small and large space, it is particularly good at zoning an open dining space within a large kitchen/diner setting.
3. U-shaped
A U-shaped kitchen offers the maximum amount of cupboard and worktop space on three walls. It may be the only option in a small kitchen to fit enough cupboards in; alternatively, it can be great for creating more practical space in a large kitchen, especially one with a double oven or range cooker.
If you think you might benefit from expert design advice, a specialist in kitchen refurbishment Surrey, such as thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk, can help.
4. Peninsula or island
If your kitchen is big enough, you might want to introduce a peninsula attached to a wall. This provides more cupboard and worktop space and doubles as a breakfast area.
An island layout is effectively the same but in the centre of the room rather than attached to a wall.
