There are several ways to design a kitchen, depending on its size and layout. One type of kitchen design that we love are U-shaped layouts because they are practical, modern and perfect for small spaces. Another benefit to U-shaped kitchens are their unique open layout which take advantage of every space and can be optimized to the fullest. Especially when you have the help of design professionals!
That's why we've gathered 12 examples of U-shaped kitchens that can be the perfect solution to any small kitchen dilemma. Let's take a look!
As we see in this example, the U
kitchen layout makes great use of the wall space by incorporating high and low cabinets, as well as shelves and other accessories.
In this case, the end of the bench is used as a table for fast meals and access to the space is ample and comfortable from the living room.
For those who are fans of the industrial style, stainless steel is the ideal material to compose a kitchen. Beyond electrical equipment, steel can be used to coat the doors, cabinets and drawers, like this example.
In this example, you can see how the U
shaped layout is perfect for small environments, since storage and modules are possible across all three walls!
When planning a kitchen in this format, it is important to value natural light by keeping at least one wall free, without many cabinets or shelves. We love how this space also accommodates a laundry room!
And if we are talking about small spaces, don't forget about taking advantage of all the available space, including floor to ceiling storage.
The U
distribution is ideal to integrate the kitchen with the living room , since it has a full opening.
Thanks to its noble qualities and warm colors, the wood works very well for this kitchen's finishes.
The U
distribution can also provide an open dinning area to integrate subtly into the kitchen, like this example.
Islands and countertops are great for closing the U
layout of the kitchen.
The U
composition can be created in other ways, going beyond the use of countertops. In the design above, the kitchen is enclosed with a beautiful built-in kitchen nook. We love this look!
