Three rows, plenty of storage space, room for appliances and a functional, well thought-out layout: A U-shaped kitchen is the first choice in many households for good reasons. A well thought-out planning concept is crucial for functionality and design. Arrange work surfaces, wall units and corner solutions in such a way as to optimise walkways and use storage space intuitively. The result is your individual dream kitchen in U-shape - tailored to your needs.
There are good reasons for the great popularity of U-shaped kitchens - and it's not just down to generous work surfaces and plenty of storage space.
U-shaped kitchens are real space savers and can be very individually customised. But do they fit in every room? And what are the disadvantages of a U-shaped kitchen?
What is the best size for a U-shaped kitchen - can it also be integrated into small rooms and what is the best layout? The good news: A three-row kitchen can be realised in many room sizes with adaptations:

Clever solutions such as folding and retractable fittings contribute to this.
Kitchens with an area of around ten to 15 square metres are virtually predestined for a U-shape - for example, for a solution with a counter.
You can create visual variety by arranging the kitchen cabinets: Play with different widths and heights, replace wall units with open shelves and wall shelves. In this way, you can create a modern U-shaped kitchen and create additional storage space at the same time - all at the same time.

Alternatively, design one of the three legs as a counter or place a dining table as a central meeting point in the centre of the U-shaped kitchen.
Tip for budget planning: How much does a U-shaped kitchen actually cost?
