The single wall kitchen

Also known as: linear kitchen, single line kitchen, one wall kitchen

The single wall kitchen is ideally suited to narrow rooms, the single wall kitchen is the simplest solution where space is limited.

Due to the limited counter space of single wall kitchens, it is best to keep the oven under the counter. When designing a single wall kitchen layout you should try to design a 1200mm (minimum) landing space between the sink and cooktop and have at least a 1200mm space in front of the run of kitchen cabinets so that you can move freely even when the base cabinet doors are open.

Normally you would find the fridge located at one end of the kitchen layout and there is usually a lot more walking between appliances as there is no 'kitchen work triangle'.An example where you would often find this type of kitchen would be in a hotel room.

Advantages

• takes up little room

Disadvantages

• longer area to cover by walking
• limited counter space
