Kitchen Design #2: Sink, Stove, Fridge on One Side, Cabinets/Counter Other Side

Kitchen Design - Corridor Style, Services on Both Sides

This kitchen design works with either the double wall kitchen space mentioned earlier, or with the peninsula kitchen space (wall on one side, peninsula or kitchen island on other side).

Because the right side of this design has no services, it does not need access to electricity or water. Also, because you are not placing the fridge in that spot, you have no problems with people on the open side (i.e., living room) seeing the unattractive back of the fridge.

You have a long stretch of countertop on the right side, but at the expense of cramming all of your services on the other side. This means that you do not benefit from the kitchen triangle design.

Finally, the dishwasher may need to be omitted. Many kitchens will hae room only for those three main services (sink, stove, and fridge), but not the dishwasher.
