A kitchen layout design guide [Where to start]

Start planning your kitchen renovation where it matters most: the kitchen layout design. In this video I discuss the 4 most common kitchen layout designs: One wall kitchen layout, L-shaped kitchen layout, U shaped kitchen layout, and a galley kitchen layout. As well as, how to take each kitchen design one step further by incorporating an island, peninsula, or coffee bar.

Sometimes the best kitchen layout comes down to what fits best in the space. However, don't feel as though your new kitchen design needs to be the same as your old kitchen design.

Even though this isn't a construction video, these are my commonly used tools (Affiliate links):

Trying to re-design a kitchen layout in a 1978 home. Will continue with your videos for help.

Edmonton! Man, seems like all the best home design/reno YouTubers are Canucks! Love it, and makes me excited to start a reno in the Cold Lake area soon. :)

In my opinion the island is way too big for the area. As someone who HATES their kitchen because of the island that really stands out to me. Our house is open concept and the island separates the kitchen and dining and makes our dining room cramped and one pass through area to dining only allows one person so we often have to go around. My dream is to get rid of the island and move the sink and dishwasher (currently in island) to the wall but that’s financially not an option.
Is that kitchen actually easily functional for multiple people with that huge of an island? Will watch more videos to hopefully gain more knowledge, subscribing.

I know it’s been awhile since this video has posted, but I figured I’d still ask… what kind of faucet is on the sink behind the presenter?

My very small kitchen is sort of in the middle of the house with an office on one side, living room and dining room on the other sides. We don’t need a formal dining table and thought we could split a large island into two halves. One in the kitchen and the other matching island in the dining area…bad idea/good idea?!? We would like the double island for more work space and under cabinetry.

I've been searching for explanations on how to plan and remodel my kitchen which was destroyed from a swindling carpenter.

You say at 1:40 that you’ll get into how the rest of the house flows into the kitchen in another video. Do you have such a video?

[shareefhamadah]

Great videos
Very beneficial
Thank you
Which software you use for kitchen design?

[tiloalo]

Thin countertops are the hot thing currently (in Europe), is it also a trend in the US?
Marble gives me more an "old rich" feeling...

[schuiliz]

What is the paint color of the cabinetry and the wall? Please… they are so beautiful.

[samuelzarei]

Thanks for helping! Can I tell us what is the name of your up for design a kitchen? Thanks

For me, the kitchen is the most complicated part of the house.

My galley (dimensions 10'9"x7'9") is wide enough (barely) for a 46-inch aisle, with one door too narrow for appliances to come through, the other barely wide enough. It is defined on all sides by load-bearing or exterior walls, so any expansion of the space would be prohibitively expensive.
I hope I will be able to widen the 32-inch door to 48 inches and the 26-inch door to 36, and to widen the case openings from the dining room to the living room and hall.
That would make things a bit less claustrophobic, with a bit more communication to the breakfast room and the dining room, but still not as inviting as a true open plan.
What are your thoughts on a herringbone vinyl plank floor in the narrow galley opening into the breakfast room space (the dining room has beautiful 90-year-old polished red oak floors). I think the lengthwise planks through the kitchen would make it look that much narrower.

Hi Homestud, I have watched many of your videos to help me in my Ikea kitchen design plan. Thanks for all the advice. Is the base corner cabinet with shelves that is just a straight line interchangable from left to right for the door installation? I see the door on the left in my design tool, but not available in that view in the product list. Any help is much appreciated. :)
