Which Type of Kitchen Is Right for You?

According to order and structure!

Your day most likely starts with a cup of coffee and ends with a quick midnight snack just before bedtime, both made in the kitchen. You deserve to start and finish every day in a peaceful and comfortable space. However, the kitchen almost always includes extensive and dangerous activities. Therefore, unlike other rooms in a house, the kitchen requires a lot of attention to detail when designing.

There is a kitchen layout by the Best interior designer in Kolkata for every house and every area. Take a look at such culinary layouts to see what best suits your needs.

 

By layout

Kitchen Types #1: Flat Kitchen

Space efficient linear kitchen

In a flat kitchen or single-wall kitchen, there is a single countertop with a set of walls and floor cabinets. It is linear and stretches along the wall of the kitchen. The most important thing to keep in mind is the golden triangle of a kitchen.

Since the stove/stove is an equal distance from the refrigerator and sink, it becomes the most convenient layout for an easy cooking process. Finally, we recommend not having a countertop of more than 12 to 15 feet, as walking around can be a bit tiring.

Ideal for: Small and studio houses as it is the most efficient design in terms of space.

 

Kitchen Types #2: L-shaped Kitchen

Handy L-shaped kitchen

An L-shaped kitchen is the most common layout found in Indian houses. With extensive bench space for many hands working in a cooking session, this layout will surely get the most productivity from it. This layout has very clear workspaces. The stove, refrigerator and sink are very close together. It lets you not have to walk too much between zones.

Ideal for whom: Large families and a small kitchen area where more than one person cooks.

 

Kitchen Types #3: Parallel or Kadirga Kitchens

Multipurpose parallel kitchen

When there is a large area, a parallel kitchen can become a highly efficient layout plan. With two countertops and two sets of cabinets, such kitchens can have multiple workspaces. It is also located in an ideal golden kitchen triangle to the stove, refrigerator and house, making it an extremely comfortable cooking process.

Ideal for: a nuclear family with a medium-sized kitchen.

 

Kitchen Types #4: U-Shaped Kitchens

Best for storage solutions

For more counter space, go one step further than a parallel kitchen and choose a U-shaped kitchen. Moreover, this layout is ideal for storing in large quantities, with three sets of floor cabinets and two or more wall cabinets. This layout gives the best result for individual work zones. Giving the fridge, stove and sink a counter space for each area.

Ideal for: Shared families with a medium-sized kitchen

 

Types of Kitchens #5: Island Kitchens

Stunning islands

A culinary island is a trending element that can be added to any layout. This multipurpose countertop can serve as a preparation zone, a breakfast counter and even a cooking area. We recommend buying an island bench only if there is enough space for movement.

Ideal for: Families with children and a large kitchen with plenty of space

 

Kitchen Types #6: Peninsula or Breakfast Stalls

Fun breakfast stalls

Our BestLuxury Interiors hosts' favourite are breakfast stalls. The breakfast countertop is an island attached to the wall, thus adding extra counter space while adding seating to the kitchen. This layout is an example of the ideal golden triangle, where the stove is in the middle and there is a sink and refrigerator on either side. Moreover, it makes it a convenient and spacious cooking area. Another way to shape it is to add a bar cabinet and some lighting to make it a breakfast bar counter.

Ideal for small families and both spacious and minimal kitchen area

 

Construction-based

 

Kitchen Types #1: Modular Kitchen

Stylish designs

A modern house with a kitchen is almost always modular. A modular kitchen is completely detachable and consists of cabinet modules. That's why this kitchen is ideal for homeowners who walk around and want to carry their kitchen with them.

The smooth structure and layout of a modular kitchen gives it a stylish look. As a result, these high-quality factory-made kitchens can tear down the bank. They also require high maintenance and a significant amount of effort to clean.

Ideal for: High-budget homes that require an entirely new kitchen

 

Types of Kitchen #2: Carpenter-Made Kitchen

Classic civilian kitchen

A carpenter-made kitchen is made entirely from scratch by locally available carpenters. Then it can not be disassembled, and the countertop is always fixed to the kitchen. A civilian kitchen can be customized at every step, as different from a modular kitchen. However, quality and finish are always a concern, as it is handily.

Ideal for: Low-budget renovations
