L Shape Kitchen Design

L shape kitchen design places the kitchen on two perpendicular walls.  L shape usually consists of one long and one short "legs" and lends itself to and efficient work triangle without the problem of through traffic.  If it's well design, it is flexible enough for 2 cooks to work simultaneously without getting in each other's way.

An L shape kitchen design can also accommodate a center island or a peninsula.  Just make sure you have at least 42 inches of clearance between the island and any cabinets and make that clearance 48 inches if you have two cooks in the family.  Walkways should be at least 36 inches wide.
