  • with niches in which you can put household appliances or storage systems;
  • non-standard, where there are ledges of walls or columns, which designers often use to divide the room into separate functional zones;

  • two-line equipment (installation of furniture and household appliances along two opposite walls) is possible in rooms where there is at least 1 m 20 cm wide free space between the furniture rows; this set often includes a mobile or folding table design;
  • U-shaped configuration will be a good choice for rooms where in the installation process it is possible to use just three walls of the kitchen, while the distance between the opposite walls should be in the range from 1.2 meters to 2.8 meters.
  • a kind of kitchen with an island can be used only in large enough premises (at least 16 sq. m.), while you can use the island as a dining area, work surface or fill it with household appliances and storage systems.
