Pros & cons single line kitchen design

This style of kitchen is commonly used in small space situations such as apartments or units. The layout positions all appliances and work areas in one straight line.

Creative storage ideas benefit this plan and much can be achieved in a small space. Products such as Blum drawers rather than cabinets for full use of storage depth, pull out inner drawers for pantry's and the Blum Aventos range to remove the need for outward opening overhead cabinet doors.
