Benefits of the L shape kitchen layout

The L Shape kitchen plan utilizes two bordering walls, spreading out the work centres; typically, the refrigerator is at one end, range or wall oven are at the other end, and the sink is in the centre. This style of kitchen works really well with open plan living areas in small to medium spaces.

The L kitchen design provides ample bench space for someone who likes to entertain or just cook up a storm.
