Types of kitchen and design ideas
There is an array of kitchen styles, but we can also make a distinction between the different types and shapes of kitchen. Here, we tell you what they’re call and the different advantages they offer.
Kitchen types
From compact kitchenettes to spacious open-plan kitchens, there are many ways to design your kitchen. The right choice depends on your space, your cooking habits and how you want to use the room. Whether you prefer a cosy kitchen with a dining area or a separate fitted kitchen, each style offers different possibilities for creating a kitchen that suits your home and everyday life.
Small kitchen
A single household doesn’t have the same requirements for a kitchen as a family. The cooking facilities often have to be built into a small room. A kitchenette is very popular choice in this case. The aim is to make optimum use of the space. The same applies to the galley kitchen. Only the essentials are accommodated in this type of mini kitchen. There is no worktop.
Open-plan and eat-in kitchens
Do you enjoy chatting with family or friends while you cook? That's no problem with an open-plan kitchen! The eat-in kitchen and the open-plan kitchen combine living, cooking and eating. If you value good company and conversation while cooking more than having your kitchen appliances and used cooking utensils hidden from view, the eat-in kitchen is a practical and modern kitchen solution.
