Whether small rooms or large living spaces - the L-shaped kitchen always fits and turns your cooking area into a feel-good place. Find out how to optimally plan an L-shaped kitchen, what advantages the corner kitchen offers and why it is a real space saver. With sophisticated appliance integration and colourful designs, you can give the classic a modern twist and create wow effects.
The L-shape - also known as an angled kitchen or corner kitchen - forms a compact working triangle consisting of a fridge, sink and hob. This ensures structured workflows with an open feeling of space. Compared to the single-line solution, the zones are more clearly structured, the work surface is more coherent and access to storage space is more direct. Read more about the design of a kitchen unit and the advantages and disadvantages in the article on single-row kitchens.
Key features in brief:
Start in the corner - this is where the greatest storage space potential lies. Corner units with pull-out drawers bring pots and pans to the front, while wide drawers organise crockery and provisions. Place the main work zone between the sink and hob. Wall units create additional storage space without weighing down the kitchen. Find out how to optimise your kitchen design in our kitchen planning tips.
Planning modules that make up the L-shaped kitchen:
Short distances, efficient use of space and flexibility: The L-shaped kitchen impresses in almost every room.
Your plus points:
Note: Corner wardrobe solutions - especially if you opt for high-quality corner wardrobe solutions - can be more cost-intensive. The kitchen solution may even be too small for a large family - an open-plan kitchen is more suitable here.
A corner kitchen is a true all-rounder and fits into almost any room concept. Regardless of whether you add an integrated cooking island to the L-shape to make the most of large living areas or use the corner kitchen as a space-saving miracle in small rooms - the L-shaped kitchen feels at home practically anywhere.
Tip: When planning, take the window and door position into account in order to make optimum use of the space.
Modern L-shaped kitchens combine easy-care, robust surfaces with functional lighting, cosy accessories and warm colours - creating your own individual feel-good kitchen.
Proven design ideas:
Integrated BORA cooktop extractor systems create quiet fronts and gain storage space above the cooking zone. Place tall units with refrigeration and oven at the end of one side to keep the central area free.
Practical planning:
Highest performance, simple operation, timeless design. The BORA cooktop extractor systems fit flush into the L-shape and keep sight lines clear.
The L-shape supports natural movements and short reach distances. Plan kitchen workflows along the zones, avoid crossings and adjust the working height to your height. Right-handers often work clockwise, left-handers mirror the order. Ensure good illumination of the worktop and sufficient space for doors and pull-outs that can be used simultaneously.
Remember:
