There are many different options for kitchen layouts, especially if you have a lot of space. However, most Tampa kitchen remodeling companies find themselves building one of the most popular layouts that homeowners have come to love. If you are picturing what the kitchen of your dreams looks like, try picturing one of these top kitchen layouts in your space.
L Shape- The L-Shaped kitchen is one of the easiest for Tampa kitchen remodeling companies and is perfect for homes with less space. Countertops and appliances are all positioned along two perpendicular walls to create an L shape where all the cooking, prep, dishwashing, etc. happens. Often, this leaves room for a small kitchen table.
Straight Line- The smallest of all kitchen layouts is the straight line. This type of kitchen has limited counterspace (unless you have an exceptionally long kitchen) and is most common in apartments. Straight line layouts make use of just one wall where all appliances and countertops are in a singular line.
U-Shape- When you have an open concept living room and kitchen area a U-shaped kitchen can help create a division of the space. Tampa kitchen remodeling companies see this layout popularity in mobile homes and apartments. Like the L shape, the U-Shape kitchen makes use of two walls, but also has additional counter space that creates a short wall between the living or dining area and the kitchen. Often, the kitchen area will have a distinctive style flooring than the living area to create more visual division.
Galley Kitchen- The Galley kitchen style is also popular for open concepts but makes use of only one long wall with more cabinets and countertop running parallel to those to create an aisle or galley between the workspaces. The sink and appliances are usually on one side while the parallel section is for prep space and a dry work area.
Island Layout- One of the most contemporary and popular styles for Tampa kitchen remodeling is the island layout. A kitchen island works with large L-shaped kitchens or straight-line layouts and are very versatile. Some homeowners use the kitchen island as a table space and add bar stools for seating. Others install a sink and use the island for washing and drying dishes. Most people add storage options into a kitchen island as well.
