This basic arrangement, which is typically found in smaller kitchens, saves space without sacrificing functionality. The One Wall Kitchen, which consists of cabinets set against a single wall, can include upper and lower cabinets or shelving above base cabinets to provide a clean look. One of the simplest and most functional kitchen layouts is the linear kitchen plan. It’s also known as the straight kitchen, and it’s a great arrangement for studios and tiny flats. The kitchen triangle is carefully placed along a single wall, saving both space and money. In bigger flats, the arrangement may also be used as a supplementary kitchen.

Since it is a single wall fixture, the straight kitchen has a simple minimalistic style. All of the kitchen necessities, such as the stove, sink, and refrigerator, are lined up one after the other in a linear and tidy arrangement. It eliminates the need to walk around excessively when preparing meals. The straight kitchen epitomizes the phrase “less is more.” It’s also known as the single wall plan since it leaves the main work area open for freeflow. If the space allows, an additional island for meal prep or eating might be added to the kitchen. A visionary’s aesthetic will be satisfied by a straight modular kitchen.

Pros

• All equipment, supplies, and the food preparation space are within easy reach.
• It provides the most floor space for circulation and other furnishings while also giving the room a sense of openness.
• With the countertop and shelves against the wall and no island in the way, the space may be more flexible, allowing for additional free-standing table, cart, etc. to be moved easily as needed for eating or as an extra work zone.

Cons

• An I-shaped kitchen can be exhausting since one must go from one end of the kitchen to the other often while cooking.
• Due to its tiny size and single length, it has a limited amount of counter space, making it difficult for more than one person to work at the same time.
• When there is a shortage of counter space, it may be essential to use a kitchen island for food preparation or to add a work center.
• In comparison to other kitchen layouts, there is a lack of storage space.
