Modular kitchen layouts: L shaped, parallel, U shaped, straight and island

L shaped modular kitchen for apartments

An L shaped modular kitchen uses two walls and a corner. It suits most apartment kitchens and keeps the hob, sink and fridge within a few steps of each other.

Parallel modular kitchen for narrow rooms

A parallel (galley) modular kitchen puts counters on two facing walls. It suits long, narrow kitchens, as long as the gap between counters leaves room to open drawers and pass each other.

U shaped and island modular kitchens for larger homes

A U shaped modular kitchen gives the most counter and storage space. An island needs open floor on all sides, so it suits large or open-plan kitchens.

Straight-line modular kitchen for studios

A straight-line modular kitchen fits everything on one wall. It suits studios and small flats where the kitchen opens into the living area.

Modular kitchen layout chooser

Small square kitchen: L shaped.
Long, narrow kitchen: parallel.
Large kitchen with three free walls: U shaped.
Open-plan kitchen with free floor: island.
Studio or one-wall kitchen: straight line.

Modular kitchen materials: HDHMR, plywood and MDF

Our modular kitchen page lists marine ply, MDF and HDHMR as materials, and our listed kitchen designs name HDHMR boards. HDHMR is a high-density, high-moisture-resistant board; marine ply is a common choice near the sink. Compare both in our HDHMR vs plywood for modular kitchens guide.

Modular kitchen shutter finishes

Our modular kitchen page lists laminate, acrylic, PU and glass finishes. Glossy finishes show fingerprints more; matte finishes hide them better. Ask us which finishes are available for the design you like.

Modular kitchen countertops

Our modular kitchen page also lists stone-finish countertops. Stone tops are common in Indian kitchens because they handle heat and heavy pots. Plan the countertop with the hob and sink positions.

Modular kitchen hardware and storage

Our listed kitchen designs name Hafele fittings. Plan soft-close hinges and drawers, pull-outs for spices and bottles, tall units for groceries and corner units so the corner is not wasted. Fix the chimney and hob positions early, because they decide the cabinet layout above and below.

Modular kitchen warranty

Warranty terms for each kitchen design are shown on its product page. Confirm the terms that apply to your kitchen in your written quote before work starts.

Modular kitchen planning for Indian cooking

Wet, dry and hot zones: keep the sink, prep counter and hob in a sensible order.
Tadka splash: use wipeable surfaces near the hob.
Spices: keep a pull-out within one step of the hob.
Ventilation: plan the chimney duct route to an outside wall.
Sockets: place sockets for the mixer, kettle and microwave away from the sink.

Modular kitchen process: measurement, design, production and installation

Site measurement: the kitchen is measured once civil, plumbing and electrical work is fixed.
Design sign-off: you approve the layout, materials, finishes and accessories.
Production: modules are made to the approved design.
Installation: the modules are fitted on site.

Don't change walls, plumbing points or electrical points after measurement, because the modules are made to those sizes.

How a modular kitchen is quoted

Plumbing points fixed.
