What kitchen style are you?

I thought I would share some examples of different kitchens descriptions in light of CPI Interiors holding a kitchen design seminar next week.

Galley Kitchen – When there is a lineup of cabinetry along one wall or line of cabinetry along two walls facing each other; usually known as a walk through kitchen. This type of kitchen does not contain enough room for an island when there are two wall of cabinetry.

L-Shaped Kitchen – When cabinetry is arranged along two connecting walls and meets in the corner. Islands can be used in this type of kitchen.

U-Shaped Kitchen – This type of kitchen has three walls of cabinetry. From a top view, it is in the shape of a ‘U’. Also, this type of kitchen usually has room for an island.

Block Kitchen – A block kitchen is a ‘U’ or ‘L’ shaped kitchen with the stove or both stove and sink are located in the island. With this island, it creates a block with all areas of the space covered.

These types of kitchens are the most common kitchen layouts. You may come across other kitchens that have breakfast nooks or double sided cabinetry with large pantries. All kitchens are different, they have their own flare or may lack in certain areas depending on space available and budget. Kitchens are a reflection of you so work closely with your designer to add the extra flavor to the most important space in your home.
