TYPES OF KITCHENπ Let me define Kitchen as a separate space or a special room in a house, specially meant for cooking. Kitchen is one of the most important parts of a house. From morning breakfast till dinner at night, the kitchen is used all day long.
1. Straight Wall Kitchen It consists of a single platform. On that platform, a cooker and a sink are usually present. If the size of the platform is large enough, it may also give room to one or two appliances like a mixture, grinder, juicer, microwave, etc.
2. Galley Kitchen
This layout consists of a set of platforms and cabinets arranged parallel to each other. They're usually built where there is ample space. They're extremely useful because of multiple work zones hence more than one person can work facing opposite directions.
3. L-Shaped Kitchen This one consists of platforms and cabinets arranged in L-Shape. The second part of the platform is adjacent to the first one & maybe a window as seen below. This kitchen also provides an ample amount of space for more than one person to work at a time.
4. U-shaped Kitchen This is an arrangement of kitchen cabinets along three sides of the wall, leaving the fourth one for the entrance door. This layout utilizes most of the space in the kitchen for cooking and storage purposes. This therefore provides a very ample workspace.
5. Island Kitchen This type of layout consists of a platform at the center of the kitchen room, surrounded by other arrangements for kitchen appliances and cooking along the walls of the kitchen. The center platform is isolated in the center of the room as you can see below.
6. Peninsula Kitchen This type of kitchen consists of an additional counter attached to the wall, despite having the primary platform for basic functions of the kitchen. The counter is mostly used as a breakfast or dinner table for 2 to 4 people. It is just a multipurpose table.
