Design examples

There are no set answers when it comes to kitchen design. No work routines are common to all users, and individual routines tend to be the rule rather than the exception. Nevertheless, we have attempted to establish certain guidelines based on our experience that some solutions work better than others.

Under Space and accessibility we refer to certain general guidelines. On this page you can view some specific examples.

Kitchen design is normally divided into the following principles:

  • the linear kitchen – gives long transport routes but may be the only solution in small rooms, for example
  • the double linear (parallel) kitchen – not recommended for wheelchair users due to transport across the floor
  • the L-shaped kitchen – links the different work zones and is well-suited to wheelchair users
  • the U-shaped kitchen – offers the same advantages as the L-shaped kitchen but is mostly used in large kitchens.
