The L-shaped kitchen is not only practical, it also offers flexibility, providing possibilities for various adaptations to suit different lifestyles. It is basically an extension of the one wall arrangement, giving plenty of opportunity for creating a functional work triangle that is compact and efficient. A large room is required for this particular layout in order to have ample clearances. The island is made up of cabinets. It may be a single butcher block counter with legs or a larger and more sophisticated island.
Islands can include a range, an under-counter refrigerator for wine or food storage, and a sink.
If the island is to have these conveniences, the appropriate services such as gas, water and electricity need to be brought to the middle of the room. Once you and your kitchen designer determine which layout is most suitable, you can begin to talk about other essential components such as work surfaces, storage space, cooking facilities, and the sink arrangement. Careful planning will help you create an atmosphere where cooking is a pleasure and not a chore.
