Not sure if an L-shape, G-shape, or Island kitchen is right for you? This guide breaks down how to match the best layout to your space and cooking habits.

An Island Modular Kitchen features a freestanding counter, perfect for large spaces. It provides additional work area, storage, and can serve as a casual dining spot.

The L-Shaped Modular Kitchen is one of the most popular layouts. It uses two adjacent walls, making it ideal for small to medium-sized kitchens by maximizing corner space and creating an efficient work triangle.

A G-Shaped Modular Kitchen is a hybrid of the L-shaped and island layouts. The additional peninsula provides extra counter space and seating, making it great for medium-sized kitchens.

The Straight-Line Modular Kitchen is the most basic setup, with all cabinets and appliances along a single wall. This layout is perfect for smaller homes or studio apartments where space is limited.

Glass cabinet doors can add style and visual appeal. This video explores different options, from clear to frosted to tinted glass, to help you choose the right look for your kitchen.

About Design & Layout Guides

Many clients come to us asking for an island kitchen because they look great in photos, but they don't always work in smaller flats. A straight or L-shaped layout is often much more practical if you want to keep your walkway clear. Before we finalize any design, we map out your 'work triangle'—the path between your stove, sink, and fridge—to make sure the layout actually makes cooking easier, not harder.
