One-Wall or L-Shaped Kitchen? Each Has Its Benefits
Discover two designs of typical kitchens in the same room : One-wall and L-shaped kitchen. The challenge in designing a one-wall kitchen is to fit everything on the same line without making it messy or dysfunctional. On the other hand, it allows to save a lot of space and it is a less expensive solution!
One of the most popular kitchen layouts is the L-shaped, its flexibility makes it easy to adapt in different area size. The organisation of the elements can easily be ergonomic and convenient to create an open space.
To see all the images of those designs and its inspirations: consult and follow our Instagram account
