A U-shaped kitchen is a common layout that features built-in cabinetry, countertops and appliances on three sides, with a fourth side left open or featuring a cased opening or entry door. In larger spaces with enough width, U-shaped kitchens are often outfitted with a freestanding island or seating. In smaller spaces, a peninsula may be attached to one side to provide seating and extra counter space while leaving a clearing for moving in and out of the kitchen. The smallest U-shaped kitchens might be built into three sides of a dedicated room with an entry door or cased opening on the fourth wall. 

Here are some tips for setting up your kitchen around a U-shaped layout that will help you to make it functional, stylish, and enjoyable to use. 

Central Dining Table

If your U-shaped kitchen is large enough, you can always install a kitchen island. But if your kitchen has enough counter space and storage around the periphery and enough depth or width in the center to add a seating area, some people find a dining table and chairs more comfortable than bar seating around an island. An antique or reproduction farmhouse table, or a sculptural live edge style dining table, has presence but a lighter profile, and can be changed out more easily if your tastes change. If you are choosing to include a central table, be sure you leave ample room for circulation and flow around the table.

Add Depth With Paint

Design by Whittney Parkinson Design

To prevent your U-shaped kitchen from feeling too boxy and one-note, add depth with dark paint on the far wall and/or the base of the kitchen island that will help create a focal point and define the space.

Pendant Lighting

Design by Whittney Parkinson Design

A large U-shaped kitchen can have a cavernous feel. Hanging pendant lighting above the island or dining area in the middle of the room will help define the seating area and fill some of the empty vertical space, making the kitchen feel more comfortable to spend time in.

Stay Neutral

While less common today, older homes and apartments often feature smaller self-contained rooms that house the kitchen. This might feel like a disadvantage in an era when open plan kitchens seem to dominate, but confining your kitchen to a single room with a U-shaped design has advantages. It means that everything will be within a few steps' reach, streamlining cooking and washing up. Keep a small U-shaped kitchen feeling light and airy with a limited palette of soft colors and neutrals.

Be Dramatic

Design by Laura Brophy Interiors

In a U-shaped kitchen with equal sides, add some low-key drama by creating a focal point on the far wall with a striking piece of slab stone above the stovetop, statement pendant lighting, striking tilework, or a large scale piece of art.

Open Shelving

Design by Latham Interiors

One way to keep a U-shaped kitchen from feeling claustrophobic is by adding open or floating shelves to the walls in place of cabinets. Be sure to keep open storage looking orderly with proper organization, and don't miss the styling opportunity to add colorful glass, accessories, artwork, or other decor elements to make the room feel homey and inviting.

Mixed Finishes

Design by Leclair Decor

Add interest and break up the boxiness of a U-shaped kitchen by mixing dark and light cabinetry, mixed metals, or a combination of glossy and matte finishes.

Round Table

A U-shaped kitchen with seamless built-in floor-to-ceiling storage can help you maintain an orderly and minimalist look. While many people choose to add a square or rectangular island or table to the center of a large U-shaped kitchen, one way to add visual interest, break up all those straight lines, and increase flow is to add a round table instead.

Monochromatic

Design by Kate Marker Interiors

U-shaped kitchens with long sides can feel cluttered with cabinets and appliances lining all three walls. Minimize visual clutter with an all-white palette, conceal appliances like the refrigerator behind built-in doors to match cabinetry, and incorporate wood accents on the flooring, kitchen island, or seating to add contrast.

Open and Shut

Design by Laura Brophy Interiors

Reduce visual clutter in a U-shaped kitchen with floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry on one of the walls that maximizes vertical space. A mix of open shelving and closed storage will keep it interesting and give you a chance to highlight objects you want seen and hide clutter behind cabinet doors.

Wraparound Seating

Design by Chelius House of Design

One disadvantage of island bar seating is the fact that you have to strain your neck to make eye contact with your dining companions. If your U-shaped kitchen is large enough and wide enough to accommodate a kitchen island, consider adding seating on two sides.

Peninsula

Design by Latham Interiors

If you a working with a U-shaped kitchen that has a narrow profile and a built-in peninsula, keep clutter to a minimum with under-counter storage and appliances, and leave the surface clear for dining and kitchen prep.

Negative Space

Design by Erin Williamson Design

Reduce visual clutter in a U-shaped kitchen with plenty of built-in cabinetry and open shelving to display decorative objects or house everyday items. But whenever possible be sure to leave some wall space free and clear, especially the space around windows. Leaving some negative space will allow the design to breathe and make the room more comfortable.

Banquette Seating

Design by Erin Williamson Design

In a long and spacious U-shaped kitchen, adding a banquette on the far wall adds comfort and means you can reduce visual clutter by adding fewer chairs. If you don't have the room for a banquette, try adding a space-saving bench.

Use Area Rugs

In a narrow U-shaped kitchen, adding area rugs to define the space can make it feel less like a corridor and more like a living space.

50 Unique U-Shaped Kitchens And Tips You Can Use From Them

Like Architecture & Interior Design? Follow Us...

A u-shaped kitchen is a highly coveted layout for a househunter since they offer so much space for cabinetry. The u-shaped layout places units around the cook on three sides with the top of the ‘u’ left open for a doorway or an open plan living room. U-shaped kitchens can be combined with dining areas or even a kitchen island if the width of the room allows. An open plan room often presents the opportunity to make one arm of the ‘u’ into a peninsula that can be accessed from both sides, such as for use as a breakfast bar or as a dual sided storage volume. Find all this and more in this inspirational gallery.

Generally speaking, there are six types of kitchen layouts: The One Wall, Galley, L-shaped, U-shaped, Island and Peninsula. There are no strict positions in which to order the stove, fridge or sink, and a kitchen can be combinations of one or more of the typical layouts. For example, you could have an L-shaped kitchen with an island or a peninsula, or a galley kitchen that is linked at one end. In designing a functional kitchen, the kitchen work triangle should be considered, which means that the distance between the sink, stove and fridge should be no more than 1200mm apart. Though, the concept of the kitchen working triangle is now evolving further to take into account multiple cooks, as well as new gadgets and appliances. In comparison to when the concept originated in the 1940s, where kitchens were a utilitarian place typically home to the housewife, our kitchens and equality have come a long way. Microwaves, separate cook tops to ovens, prep stations with an additional mini sink and teamwork all interrupt the traditional triangle. As modern kitchens present an increase in dedicated task zones, secondary triangles become commonplace.

Play with floor levels. This unique u-shaped kitchen is sunken below the floor level of the open plan living room, allowing onlookers a birds-eye view.

Colour coordinate upper units with the wall colour. The wall cabinets in this blue kitchen have been used as reference for the room’s paint colour. Colour coordinating the paint with the units in this way helps the space appear more open.

A different tack has been taken in this blue kitchen, with wall cabinets placed around the full u-shape. However, one side of the arrangement is open to the dining room, and windows run around the rest of the countertop level bringing plenty of airiness to the scheme. Cleaning the backsplash after cooking dinner in this kitchen becomes an exercise in window washing!

Forget the plinths. With the abundance of cabinets typical to a u-shaped kitchen you may be looking for new ways to help your design look more open and spacious. Leaving off the base plinths can help expand the look of your floor space – though do be prepared to get down low to clean out the recess regularly if you’re dropsy with your vegetable choppings.

Create a wrap around storage volume to an adjacent area. The tall height of the oven housing unit and fridge freezer housing has been continued around the corner into the lounge in this open plan home. The extension is used as a media unit surrounding the tv facing the lounge.

Define edges with lighting. LED strips placed just beneath the lip of a kitchen countertop and wall units create an ambient glow.

Make a feature of a niche shelf by picking it out in a different colour. A dark wood tone adds sophisticated flair to an all white kitchen.

Match the baseboard to the backsplash. This grey and white kitchen brings in grey not only through a tiled backsplash but with a coordinated kickboard.

In a long open home, a mid-way u-shaped kitchen can be used to effectively divide the floor plan.

Bring in colour with countertop appliances and accessories. This red kitchen set looks great with warm rustic brick walls.

Black appliances in a white kitchen look punchy and modern. This design has black pieces situated on each of the three straights of the u-shaped kitchen to maintain balance.

Shortening the returns of a u-shaped kitchen can leave room for a fully-fledged dining set.

Combine cabinet finishes, like this wood grain and white gloss modern kitchen.

Let your budget inspire you rather than restrict. Choosing Scandinavian kitchen style can be a cost effective exercise, since the magic of the Scandi aesthetic is simplicity. Wooden bar stools from Ikea drive in the look.

Use every nook and cranny for storage in a tiny u-shaped kitchen. Shape shelves into the eaves.

Tailor the design to suit your own lifestyle. One side of this setup has cabinets facing out to the living room where a wine rack on hand. A raised bench is in place where you can easily pop the cork.

Build a lighting soffit. A wood effect soffit has been installed around the ceiling perimeter of this white kitchen, complete with recessed spotlights.

Where there is plenty of natural light, don’t be afraid to go dark with the cabinetry.

Add hints of green with indoor plants, or add colour with kitchen stools. It helps when the countertops are super-clean — no messy dishes, plates or knife holders in sight!

Take tiling to the top. This white kitchen has metro tiles stacked almost to the rafters. Dark grout accentuates the tile design.

Get wired – without any hassle. If you don’t want to punch holes in the ceiling for spotlights or install a lighting soffit, how about positioning some exposed bulb kitchen pendant lights. With exposed electrical wiring being on trend you can feel free to string wires from a single power point. If you fancy a bit of colour then go for lengths of brightly bound electrical wire; there’s the pick of the rainbow available out there.

Just can’t decide on a kitchen cabinet colour? No problem. Go multicoloured with Mondrian inspired interior design.

The golden touch. Take your kitchen scheme upmarket with a flurry of gold finishing touches. Try a gold faucet, cabinet handles, tile trims or planters. Leave out your best cooking oils too, they will decorate the countertop with their own golden essence.

Forget making do with a tiny kitchen tv – go big using a projector.

Break with stereotypes. The positioning of the fridge with an adjacent oven at the neck of the ‘u’ in this layout is quite unconventional. The tall units at the back make the plan feel almost like a galley kitchen. The fridge and oven are often situated in tandem in modern kitchens, though some manufacturers warn that the proximity is detrimental to your fridge by making it work harder to achieve the desired internal temperature.

Select an extractor unit to be the main feature.

If you tire of colour schemes quickly, use easily replaceable items to colour the room. Keep bold colours confined to mugs, trays and tea towels to make a decor change gentle in effort and low on price.

Use similar tones but different materials. These coffee coloured wall cabinets match with the walnut wood grain below – yet the change in texture brings interest and makes the space appear less crowded.

Leave a wall free of upper cabinets to make a space appear larger.

Take an indoor kitchen to the great outdoors with a living wall. This one brings a lovely quirk to a tv wall.

Open shelving dipped within a bank of wall cabinetry gives the scheme added depth.

Draw inspiration from a raw concrete kitchen floor, and install an industrial kitchen design.

Kitchen flooring can zone the cooking area from the rest of an open living room.

Create a colour stripe, like in this red and white u shaped kitchen with peninsula.

Colour the opposite side of a peninsular to fit with dining room or lounge decor.

In a large layout, a peninsular can be dedicated entirely to dining, with prep taking place only along an L-shape.

Similarly, if space allows, situate seating on the inside of the peninsular to look outward over the rest of an open plan room.

Think on another level. This u-shaped kitchen is a collection of optical illusions and undulating bench heights.

Mark out a dining area using a contrasting countertop.

For a true ‘u’, how about this curvaceous little number?…

… Or this sleek u-shaped kitchen island.

Create interesting angles where there are none. This geometric peninsula is matched by a diagonal cut baseline across the wall units.

Camouflage a kitchen extractor unit against wall decor, or distract the eye with colourful accessories on adjacent shelving.

This u-shaped kitchen installation allows footfall to move straight past without anyone disturbing the cook.

Use bold wall tiles to add wow factor to a white kitchen…

… Feature floor tiles work well too.

Fashion a glass divide across the length a peninsular to contain cooking splashes or prep mess.

Revamp a tired rustic u-shaped kitchen with some cheerfully painted cabinets and contrasting accessories.

Add personality with unexpected touches. These copper pendant lights and kitchen backsplash give this white kitchen a unique energy.

Don’t think you have the space to complete a u-shaped design? Half depth units can be used along one of the walls to create the effect.

U-shaped kitchen: 100 photos of original solutions

The name of the layout - the kitchen with the letter "P" - speaks for itself. In this case, furniture and appliances are placed along three walls. In the center of the room, free space is usually left. What are the pros and cons of such a layout? In which rooms should it be used, and in which not? We will understand in this article.

Arrangement of furniture along three walls is used both in spacious rooms and in small ones. But it is worth considering: if the width of the room is less than 2.5 meters, using drawers and cabinets can be inconvenient. In narrower spaces, it is better to abandon storage on one side and replace the cabinets with a breakfast bar or a peninsula. This technique is especially good for studio apartments or living spaces, where the cooking and dining area is combined with the living room. It allows you to zone the space. A kitchen with the letter "P" will suit rooms with and without a window. In the first case, you can beat the opening in different ways. We'll talk about them a little later. nine0003 20

Cons

At the window

Design: tim.factory, timofeyzhuravlev.com

In modern interior photos, U-shaped kitchens with a window in the middle are often found. In this case, it is the opening that becomes the dominant space. The countertop is usually led to the window itself, instead of the window sill. This allows you to increase the work surface or place a sink under the window. The second solution is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional: it is at the sink that the one who cooks spends the most time, and natural light makes work easier. nine0003

At the same time, the presence of a window imposes certain restrictions on the arrangement of furniture and appliances. For example, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe window opening, a hob is usually not placed.

U-shaped kitchen with island

The island is a fashionable and popular solution today. Therefore, many try to include it in their project. But this should be done with caution.

Design: Anila Anivas, architecture and design studio LAD

The problem is that the island is convenient and justified only in really spacious rooms, ranging from 18-20 square meters. In a small room, it will look cramped and bulky.

However, this is a very functional module. Here you can install a sink or hob, organize storage areas or put built-in appliances, such as a dishwasher.

With a peninsula

If the area of ​​the room does not allow, but you really want an island, you can compromise and choose the so-called peninsula.

Design: Natalya Polyakova

This is something like an island table, which rests against the wall on one side and at the same time is a logical and constructive continuation of the kitchen set. He has a table top with a set. A peninsula usually separates the cooking area from the living or dining area. It can be used both as a table and as a work surface, here you can place a sink or stove, as well as drawers and cabinets.

U-shaped kitchen with breakfast bar

Even more compact. The bar counter, as a rule, does not imply storage places. In the classical sense, this is a space for a snack or a cup of coffee.

Design: Silva Gonian

But in modern realities, especially if the area of ​​​​the room is small, the bar counter often replaces the dining table. True, such a solution is hardly suitable for a large family that is used to joint lunches and dinners. Rather, it is an option for a couple. nine0003

It can also be used as an additional work surface. By the way, the choice of the design of the bar counter should be taken very carefully. Some of her models have long been on the list of anti-trends. For example, a bar counter with a metal bar. Now it is perceived as "hello" from zero.

The kitchen should first of all be comfortable. To do this, you must follow the basic rules of ergonomics. Each room in the house has its own calculations that show where, how, at what distance and at what height it is better to place furniture and appliances. nine0003

Design: Elena Savinova

When it comes to U-shaped layout, it is important to consider the distance between cabinets along parallel walls. Ideally, it should be at least 120-150 cm. This will allow you to freely use drawers, an oven, get dishes and ready meals without fear of hitting.

More free space can also be left. But, most importantly, do not abuse. A distance of up to 270 centimeters is considered convenient. Anything more will take too long to move. Do not forget about the working triangle rule. Its "tops": refrigerator, sink and hob. Their correct location makes the cooking process more convenient and easier. The ideal solution is when the "vertices" form an isosceles triangle. With a U-shaped layout, the refrigerator, sink and stove are placed on three sides. The logic of the movement looks like this: get the products, put them on the countertop, go to the sink and wash, then prepare for heat treatment on the work surface, go to the stove or oven. It is logical if it is in this sequence that the “tops” of the working triangle will be located. Examples of a competent arrangement of furniture and appliances in a U-shaped kitchen are in the photo below. nine0003 10

  1. Modern interiors are increasingly moving away from upper cabinets. When planning with the letter "P" this is quite possible. The number of floor modules and cases allows you to organize enough storage space.
  2. If you are not ready to get rid of the top tier, choose light, calm colors and neutral textures for it. Dark or overly bright cabinets to the ceiling on three sides of the room can look too heavy and visually narrow the space. nine0070
  3. Don't want to use the window in the traditional way: place the sink and worktop under it? There are other ideas. For example, equip a small dining area like a bar with a pair of high chairs. Another unusual solution is a seating area by the window. It can be a bench with soft cushions or upholstery.
  4. Walls seem empty without upper cabinets, missing accents? Let the hood become the accent. Now there are really beautiful models of various shapes and colors. nine0070
  5. Add light. With a U-shaped arrangement of furniture, one chandelier in the center of the room will not be enough. Work surfaces need to be illuminated. To do this, you can use hanging lamps or wall lamps. If there are upper cabinets, it is better to arrange lighting under them.
