So, let’s break down the 3 most popular kitchen design layouts that our clients commonly opt for when choosing their dream floorplan.
Island Kitchen Layout
The Island kitchen layout is the perfect option for those seeking a multi-purpose hub that’s perfect for entertaining, in-kitchen dining, homework, or just general day-to-day conversations.
This layout in generally defined by one back wall and an island bench offering dual access into the kitchen, allowing your family or guests to easily gather and interact whilst cooking, cleaning, or whatever you fancy.

This efficient layout looks out onto the open plan living dining area with the outdoor living area sitting off the rear of the home creating a relaxed transition between the indoors and outdoors, and highlighting the entertainer’s lifestyle.
Galley Kitchen Layout
A Galley kitchen layout has joinery running parallel along opposite sides creating a long walkway between the workspaces. This layout is ideal for smaller kitchen layouts that may flow into a butler’s pantry or laundry.
This layout offers you greater flexibility when considering where to place your appliances. If you are working with a smaller space where lighting is essential, we suggest strip lighting features to the overhead units or along the kickboards to provide some additional wow-factor, plus make it feel more enticing.
The Akora Homes Coonawarra, on display at Edinburgh features the Galley kitchen layout. Offering an efficient workspace for the avid chef, that flows into the concealed walk-in pantry and presents ample storage and bench space.
U-Shaped Kitchen Layout
This kitchen layout is in the name, the U-shaped kitchen design has three walls of joinery shaped in a U configuration, offering plenty of workspace and storage and best supports the golden kitchen work triangle principle.
To harness a more clever design solution, we suggest turning one side of the U shape into an island style bench, ideal for family meals, catching up with friends or even a space for the kids to do their homework.
The Weeks Homes Riverglen Classic on display at Angle Vale features the U-shaped kitchen layout, with additional island bench. By incorporating the island bench in the centre of this layout, you can access the heart of the home from multiple entry points whilst still maintaining plenty of room for those who like to spend plenty of time in their kitchen.
