PS: Whether your kitchen is big or small, the triangle work area is quite urgent, and don't forget to leave some a dash of dining space.
One-wall layout: for narrow kitchens
Single-wall kitchens: for small houses, where small spaces require efficient space, with appliances, cabinets and worktops positioned on one side of the wall.

U-shaped layout: square kitchen
U-shaped kitchen: is an extension of the L-shaped kitchen, the general practice is to add another countertop on the other long side, or a whole wall of high cabinets, in order to store more items or appliances. The "U-shaped" kitchen is more functional, with a logical flow of operations, and can accommodate multiple people. This design is fully equipped with cabinets that make good use of space and expand the operating area.
Advantages: high space utilization, from the design, U-shaped kitchen washing area, cooking area, operating area, storage area can be divided into clear, after all, the space is more extensive. It should be said that the U-shaped kitchen is a bit like a symmetrical superposition of two L-shaped kitchen, so they both have the same advantages of higher space utilization, and this kind of kitchen will almost never traverse the people, so there is less interference with the whole kitchen.
PS: U-shaped kitchens have two corners in the work area*** and, therefore, require more space. When the size of the kitchen is not very large, the sink is best placed at the bottom of the U-shape, and the preparation and cooking areas are located on both sides, so that the sink, refrigerator and cooking utensils are connected to form a square triangle. Larger U-shaped kitchens, on the other hand, can add more space for collection, and a variety of appliances can usually be designed in, even making a double sink design. As with L-shaped kitchens, U-shaped kitchens are best avoided in the corner position of the cleaning and cooking area, as it is less comfortable to carry out the main operation in this place.
