Such a layout is designed by integrating three walls with cabinets or by embedding a peninsula to bring around the units to form the shape. In this kind of layout, the wraparound shape is capable of making the most out of compact kitchens and at the same time it’s equally effective for spacious kitchens. **Pros**: Appliances are easily accessible since you are surrounded by units. **Cons**: The corners have to be equipped with flexible storage units so that they are as accessible and useful as possible. **![](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gallery-layout-kitchen.jpg?width=1024&height=681&name=gallery-layout-kitchen.jpg)** #### **Corridor or Galley Layout** If your kitchen is narrow or if you want to make the most out of small kitchens, galley layout is the best option. It consists of two straight walls that run parallel to one another. It makes the best use of every inch of space and is well known for its efficiency. For most restaurants, this layout is the primary design. **Pros**: This layout is the perfect choice for compact kitchen spaces. **Cons**: It’s not ideal if you want your kitchen to be a social area. **![](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/l-shaped-kitchen-1.jpg?width=1024&height=614&name=l-shaped-kitchen-1.jpg)** #### **L-Shaped Layout** This arrangement is an open layout with an island or table added is space permits. It provides optimum counter space. L-shaped kitchen designs have a main line of cabinets with either a stove or sink with a shorter line of cabinets. All these go together to form an L-shaped layout. This arrangement is best suitable for medium and large kitchens. **Pros**: It is spacious and adaptable with the option to add an island or a table. **Cons**: If the kitchen space is large, the appliances may not be easily reachable. Assess the functionalities, pros, and cons of each layout to find out which arrangement is the best option for your kitchen. ### Latest Posts [![The Most Popular Granite Colors For Kitchen Countertops](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/top-kitchen-countertop-colors.jpg "The Most Popular Granite Colors For Kitchen Countertops") **The Most Popular Granite Colors For Kitchen Countertops**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/the-most-popular-granite-colors-for-kitchen-countertops) [![Choosing The Perfect Kitchen Backsplash For Your Granite Countertop](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/perfect-kitchen-backsplash-for-your-granite-countertop-1.jpg "Choosing The Perfect Kitchen Backsplash For Your Granite Countertop") **Choosing The Perfect Kitchen Backsplash For Your Granite Countertop**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/choosing-the-perfect-kitchen-backsplash-for-your-granite-countertop) [![Top 3 Trendy Kitchen Layouts](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gallery-layout-kitchen.jpg "Top 3 Trendy Kitchen Layouts") **Top 3 Trendy Kitchen Layouts**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/top-3-trendy-kitchen-layouts) [![Kitchen Design Trends in 2018 – Materials & Colors](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/kitchen-design-trends-2018-3.jpg "Kitchen Design Trends in 2018 – Materials & Colors") **Kitchen Design Trends in 2018 – Materials & Colors**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/kitchen-design-trends-2018-materials-colors) [![Using Two Granite Colors In The Kitchen](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/two-different-granite-colors-kitchen-3.jpg "Using Two Granite Colors In The Kitchen") **Using Two Granite Colors In The Kitchen**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/using-two-granite-colors-kitchen) [![Bathroom Countertop Storage](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/bathroom-countertop-storage-2.jpg "Bathroom Countertop Storage") **Bathroom Countertop Storage**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/bathroom-countertop-storage) [![Matching Kitchen Countertops & Cabinets](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/kitchen-countertop-ideas-13-opt-1.jpg "Matching Kitchen Countertops & Cabinets") **Matching Kitchen Countertops & Cabinets**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/matching-kitchen-countertops-cabinets) [![Granite Kitchen Sinks](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ags-kitchen-projects-93.jpg "Granite Kitchen Sinks") **Granite Kitchen Sinks**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/granite-kitchen-sinks) [![The Differences Between Bathroom and Kitchen Countertops](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/kitchen-countertop-differences.jpg "The Differences Between Bathroom and Kitchen Countertops") **The Differences Between Bathroom and Kitchen Countertops**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/differences-bathroom-kitchen-countertops) [![Outdoor Granite Countertops](https://www.advancedgranite.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/outdoor-kitchen-ideas-4.jpg "Outdoor Granite Countertops") **Outdoor Granite Countertops**March 15, 2018 ](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/outdoor-granite-countertops) ### Categories - [BATHROOM (6)](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/tag/bathroom) - [GRANITE (12)](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/tag/granite) - [KITCHEN (14)](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/tag/kitchen) - [MARBLE (5)](https://www.advancedgranite.com/blog/tag/marble)
