Corner kitchens are a versatile and efficient solution that can transform any space into a functional and attractive area. With careful design and the right choice of materials and appliances, you can create a kitchen that is not only practical, but also a pleasure to work and live in.
At Design Kitchen we help you to make your dream kitchen a reality in Estepona, Marbella and Sotogrande. We have extensive experience in creating open kitchens, linear kitchens and of course corner kitchens. We adapt to any space and to the needs of the client.
Different configurations of the corner kitchen
Corner kitchens, also known as L-shaped kitchens, are a popular choice for their versatility and space efficiency. This design places all kitchen elements along two adjacent walls, creating an angle that maximises the area available for work and storage.
These are some of the most common configurations:
- Corner kitchen with continuous worktop: Here, the worktop runs along both walls, creating an uninterrupted work surface, with a container base unit in the corner for additional storage.
- Corner kitchen with succession of columns and in-line operating area: This configuration has one wall with storage columns and another with operating elements such as the sink and cooking area.
- Corner kitchen with panels and shelves: An aesthetic option that uses panels and shelves to connect the elements on the two walls, providing a cohesive and decorative look.
- Angular kitchen with panoramic view: The L-shaped base units create a worktop that extends under a window, allowing you to enjoy the view while preparing your food.
Advantages of corner kitchens
Corner kitchens offer numerous advantages that make them ideal for both small and large spaces.
Maximise space
An angular kitchen makes optimal use of the available space, especially in corners, which is perfect for narrow kitchens or open-plan areas. This configuration allows for an efficient distribution of appliances and work areas.
Functionality and ergonomics
The angled arrangement facilitates workflows in the kitchen. The essential elements (fridge, sink, preparation and cooking area) are positioned in such a way that the movement between them is fluid and efficient, following the concept of the work triangle.
Aesthetics and personalisation
Corner kitchens can be customised to suit any design style, from classic to modern. The combination of cupboards, shelves and work surfaces creates a visually appealing and highly functional space.
Keys to take into account in its design
When designing an angular kitchen, it is important to consider several factors to ensure that the space is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Choice of corner units
Corner units are essential in a corner kitchen. Various options such as rotating baskets, pull-out trays and angled storage systems are available to facilitate access and maximise storage space.
Distribution of household appliances
To maintain an efficient workflow, appliances must be well distributed. The refrigerator, sink and hob should be located close to each other, minimising distances and facilitating cooking tasks.
Adequate lighting
Lighting is crucial in an angular kitchen. Combine recessed ceiling lights, under-cabinet lighting and pendant lights to ensure that all work areas are well lit.
Electrical and hydraulic project
Carefully plan the location of sockets and water connections before installing furniture and appliances. Make sure that sockets are accessible and that water connections are well positioned to avoid future problems.
