The most important aspect of kitchen design is deciding on its layout. Layout of the kitchen determines how efficiently one can cook, clean dishes, eat or socialize. There are few modern layouts:

1. One-walled: These are kitchens designed on a single side of the wall. It saves a lot of space and is best suited for studio type apartments or lofts. All the different equipments used are usually fixated to the same side of the wall.

2. Galley: This is a type of one walled kitchen with a slim outline ideal for smaller spaces and congested spaces. A walk through kitchen which ideally has 2 parallel walls and all the designs are done on these walls facing each other.

3. L - Shaped: This is another very efficient idea for small apartments and best for utilising space. They can be from 10 to 15 feet long to use the space efficiently. With L shape, you can avoid a lot of cramped spacing however, if the kitchen is bigger, island layout would be a better option than an L shaped.

4. Horseshoe: These U shaped kitchens are the upgraded versions of L shaped and island kitchens which are connected from three walls to forming an island in between. This is a very efficient kitchen because it allows room for more people to work in the kitchen with plenty of spacing.

5. Island: One of the best kitchen designs provided there is a plenty of spacing for the design. This not only allows space for seating, but also a wide sink, a walk through, an eatable place and a large stove. The only disadvantage would be the space required to accommodate the whole design.

6. Peninsular: Last but not the least this is a connection between an island, converting an L shaped to a horseshoe or a G shaped kitchen. Offers a lot of space to the kitchen however does not cover or make up for sharp edges and perfect square.
