This week at Kitchen Design Centre, we’re continuing our series on the most popular kitchen shapes, and giving you ideas to make your kitchen work for you. Today it is the turn of the useful and adaptable U shaped kitchens.
As you might expect, U shaped kitchens have three sides, allowing for maximum work space and storage! It is a versatile and open kitchen shape, and can suit rooms of most sizes. U shaped kitchens frequently include a peninsula- an extension from an existing counter or wall, giving you even more space to work with.
This shape of kitchen is ideal for serious cooks! There’s no through traffic, so it’s easier to not be disturbed while you work. Lots of counter space means you can divide the kitchen into separate work areas, too.
It’s important to remember that with all that space, you still need to have an efficient work triangle – the space between your refrigerator, stove and sink. At Kitchen Design Centre our experts can make sure your kitchen design really works for you. Why not book a FREE home design visit with us to see what we could do with your space?
U shaped kitchens can have lots of cupboard storage at both floor and wall level. It’s worth noting that corner cupboards can sometimes be deep and difficult to reach into, making your essential kitchen equipment hard to get at; one solution is to use pull-out wire drawers, which will ensure smaller items don’t get lost.
One thing with U shaped kitchens is the potential to feel “boxed-in”, if you have wall cupboards on all three sides. To give your kitchen a sense of being more open-plan, why not go with a functional peninsula? This will ensure your kitchen work space feels less restrictive. You can also use clever design elements such as high gloss units and quality stainless steel kitchen appliances to reflect light and give a feel of spaciousness.
If you have a large room, U shaped kitchens mean you can keep everything within easy reach, and gives you lots of storage options. If the room is large enough, a U shaped kitchen can work well with an island too! Take a look at our portfolio of beautiful customer kitchens for some ideas to inspire you.
Having more counter space can mean scope for a breakfast or dining area, a place for the kids to study, or for you to sit and read the paper. This shape of kitchen lends itself well to family mealtimes: if you have enough room, you can also add a dining table in the centre of your U shaped kitchen.

Warm wood kitchens are instantly cozy, approachable and inviting.
There’s no denying that white kitchens are timeless — they look clean, bright and ensure your space will feel modern for years. Wood kitchens, on the other hand, are more likely to exude warmth and can be more customizable to fit various lifestyles.
