U-Shaped Kitchens

A u-shaped kitchen has counters and appliances laid out in the shape of a U, with 3 sides and 2 corners. This kitchen floor plan type is called a c-shaped kitchen in some locales since the shapes are similar. U-shaped kitchens are one of the most popular layouts as they provide a generous amount of counter space and storage. Plus, the shape lends itself to the popular kitchen work triangle: you can place the stove/range on one side, the sink on another, and the refrigerator on the 3rd side, creating an efficient workspace.
