Work Triangle & Kitchen Layouts

Good Kitchen Design

Function is the basis of good design, especially in an area where you'll be working day after day. Our Start Your Floor Plan tool lets you build a kitchen around the work you'll be doing there. But to make your life easier and more enjoyable, you'll want to start out with a clear plan for your work triangle, because you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary movement-and time-over the years.

Work Triangle

Imagine a triangle that connects the three main places where you do three different tasks: cleanup, cooking, and food storage.

Kitchen Layouts

There are four main kitchen layouts: “L,” “Galley,” “U,” and “G” (Peninsula). Each accommodates a work triangle in its own way.
