Kitchen Design Services
At Irish Jones Construction, we know a kitchen remodeling project is a significant undertaking filled with countless decisions along the way. It’s why we offer our custom design services to help you create a space that fits your family’s unique needs.
Choosing the right kitchen layout
There are four main types of kitchen layouts. Each comes with unique design advantages. We are here to help you understand those differences as well as how your family plans to use the space to ensure you choose a layout that improves the overall functionality of your kitchen.
Galley/ Parallel Layouts
What It Is: Two walls opposite of each other—or two parallel countertops with a walkway in between them.
Ideal for: Long, narrow kitchens where storage and appliances can be banked across both walls, leaving a corridor in the middle. It is also a good fit for one-cook kitchens.
Island Layouts
What It Is: An island in the center of the room with worktops on the surrounding walls.
Ideal for: This layout makes the most use of the central part of your kitchen, while offering ample counter space. A cook who requires more food preparation space will appreciate this layout.
L-Shaped Layouts
What It Is: Countertops on two adjoining walls that are perpendicular to each other, forming an L.
Ideal for: By fitting perfectly into a corner, this layout maximizes space and is perfect for small and medium sized areas that combine kitchen, living, and dining spaces.
U-Shaped Layouts
What It Is: Built-in cabinetry, countertops and appliances on three sides, with a fourth side left open.
Ideal for: This layout is ideal for larger kitchens. With ample counter space, it allows for multiple working stations and great workflow for more than one cook in the kitchen.
