Most of London’s properties has a small kitchens space and some cases tiny space and in a small kitchen every space available matters

Planning your kitchen will include many main areas from space for food preparation and cooking to washing up and storage so it essential to plan the room thoroughly.

The basic design rules for kitchens, however large or small depends on shape of the room, most common basic shapes for a kitchen plan are I, U and L shapes.

I shaped kitchen, in this type of kitchen, all appliances and storage are down one side of the room, making a neat, tidy and efficient line of kitchen cabinets

L shaped kitchen fits best where the kitchen can be installed into one corner.The L shaped kitchen can be either fitted neatly around the corner or if the space permits, one arm can be build into the room to act as a serving table or eating bar.

U shaped can be fitted in square kitchens and is often best in a confined space because the appliances can be installed around the cook, who stands in the centre and has everything within reach.

The most important decision when it comes to fitting a new kitchen, repairing old kitchen or renovating your kitchen is off course the kitchen fitter, hiring professional kitchen fitter in London is a wise investment
