The kitchen is the most used room in any home, it’s where your family gathers, memories are made, and entertainment commences. Not only should your kitchen be a welcoming and functional space, but it should also be a reflection of your personal style.
To properly plan your kitchen design is the key to creating a design that meets your highest expectations. Whether you plan on completing your kitchen remodel on your own or with the help of an expert team, these 11 steps will set you up for optimal success.
1. Assess
List elements you want in your kitchen.
Assessing your current kitchen is the first step in to any kitchen design. You’ll want to figure out what you love about your kitchen and what you wish you could add, change, or modify to make better. This process should help you discover your “must-have” design elements, as well as what you can do without.
For instance, you may find it essential to install a pot-filler above your stove to make boiling water easier and cooking more efficient. Or you may desire a breakfast nook that’s separate from your dining area. We also have an entire article on gorgeous kitchen bar designs you may want to check out!
Whatever your essential kitchen elements are, make a list of them, and figure out which ones are the most important to you. Don’t forget to add the most basic items you need like appliances, countertops, cabinets, and flooring.
To help you figure out what elements you may want in your kitchen, we’ve listed various common features here:

2. Outline
Create a detailed kitchen floor and wall plan.
Once you’ve decided on what you want your kitchen to have, you’ll want to determine an outline of how your kitchen will look. It may come as a surprise to some, but your kitchen floor plan is different than your kitchen layout. In fact, we consider your floor and wall plan the “outline” of your kitchen.
To create your kitchen outline, you want to have a good understanding of your floor plan. You can work with a kitchen design company to 3-D render your outline, or do it yourself on graph paper.
The important thing is to make your outline to scale. Your kitchen outline will be an exact depiction of your existing kitchen floor, walls, windows, and doors.
From here, if you plan to make any structural changes, you can make a copy of your outline and begin planning things like removing a wall or adding a kitchen island. Doing so based off your existing outline will give you an idea of how much space you have to work with and place these elements.
Continuing from your original outline or your planned kitchen outline, begin planning cabinetry and appliances, make sure to use a pencil to mark up your floor plan with where you wish to place these elements.
3. Layout
Decide on the best layout for your kitchen design.
Once you are satisfied with your outline you’ll want to determine which floor plan will work best for you. Whether you plan to keep the layout of your kitchen the same, or undergo major structural changes, deciding on a layout is a crucial step in designing your kitchen.
There are six major types of layouts that are most popular in today’s kitchen designs. You’ll want to determine which one will best suit you and your needs.
The 6 layouts we recommend are as follows:
1. U-Shaped Kitchen Layout
2. G-Shaped Kitchen Layout
3. L-Shaped Kitchen Layout
4. Galley Kitchen Layout
5. Island Kitchen Layout
6. Peninsula Kitchen Layout
For now, let’s get into the six most popular kitchen layouts! And for a detailed description of each layout, plus, how to make it work in your kitchen, check out our ultimate guide to the Most Popular Kitchen Layouts.
U-Shaped Kitchen Layout:
A u-shaped kitchen layout is popular for offering ample space for cabinetry. The U-shaped layout works best for larger kitchens, as it features three distinct walls. This kitchen layout creates a functional and efficient space that has plenty of room for an effective “work triangle.”
G-Shaped Kitchen Layout:
Similar to a U-shaped layout, a G-shaped kitchen layout offers an equal amount of countertop space, storage, and three walls. The difference in this layout, however, is that G-shaped kitchens feature a partial fourth wall or peninsula. G-shaped layouts work well in large kitchens and are a great choice for homeowners who wish to have additional seating at a countertop or added cabinets on a partial wall.
L-Shaped Kitchen Layout:
The L-shaped kitchen layout is very popular due to its flexibility and efficiency. It can be adapted to nearly any space and creates a practical and functional kitchen design. An L-shaped layout is excellent for smaller kitchens, as it can be fitted to a 10X10 space. It is also very ergonomic and makes for an efficient kitchen work triangle.
Galley Kitchen Layout:
A galley kitchen layout is a common choice for traditional kitchen design and is ideal for small spaces. It is often seen in older homes, and is made up of two parallel walls or countertops with walking space in between. The galley style layout offers less fluidity than the other layouts, however allows for easy movement from the oven to fridge. As a galley layout typically places the sink and fridge on one side and the oven on the other.
Island Kitchen Layout:
An island layout is designed purely on personal preference, and can be incorporated with any layout option. The island kitchen layout is perfect for larger spaces, as it requires at least 36″ of space to surround the island on four sides, to allow space for homeowners to walk through and appliances to open and close. For an efficient workflow, your kitchen island will be centered within stepping distance of the stove, sink, and fridge.
Peninsula Kitchen Layout:
A peninsula kitchen layout is similar to that of an island kitchen layout. The layout typically involves turning a U-shaped layout into a G-shaped layout or an L-shaped layout into a U-shaped layout. A peninsula kitchen layout is perfect for those who wish to have a kitchen island, but do not have the space required. For a peninsula offers similar function to an island and allows for additional seating, storage space, and countertop surface area.
4. Research
Research appliances and fixtures.
Now that you have a list of all the elements you’d like in your kitchen design, outlined your kitchen, and chosen a kitchen layout, you’ll want to start getting specific.
Begin researching the sizes you prefer for appliances, brands you like, and types of fixtures you prefer. Keep in mind, this is just preliminary research and you’ll want to focus on size, brand, type, etc. Finish, color, and style come later when we get into more on choosing the right materials for your design.
We recommend researching all of the following kitchen design aspects:
| Appliances & Fixtures: | Brand, Size, & Style | |
| Appliances: | Plumbing Fixtures: | Additional Fixtures: |
| Oven | Faucet | Lighting |
| Refrigerator | Sink | Hardware |
| Microwave | ||
| Stove | ||
| Dishwasher | ||
| Range Hood | ||
| Garbage Disposal |
| Materials: | Brand & Type |
| Countertops: | Cabinets: |
| Quartz | Solid Wood |
| Granite | Particleboard |
| Solid Surface | MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) |
| Laminate | Plywood |
| Wood Veneer | |
| Laminate | |
| Melamine | |
| Thermofoil |
Make sure to use the outline you created in step two to select the correct sizing for your appliances and other fixtures. You can also begin to create your budget based off of the pricing of the products you choose. If you need help calculating what your budget should be, check out our budget calculator.
5. Plan
Plan storage solutions.
Now that you’ve selected the products you prefer, properly laid out your kitchen, and done your research on crucial kitchen elements, you can begin planning your storage solutions. To being, start with making a list of where your kitchen is lacking in storage, as well as what you currently keep stored throughout your kitchen. Your list should include non-refrigerator food items, storable appliances, cooking equipment/utensils, and anything you keep atop your counters. For a detailed list of the typical kitchen items stored check out this kitchen storage list.
From your list, you can start planning where you will store these items. There are many creative storage solutions that may work, and we’ll go over some of our favorites below for cabinet storage, drawer storage, bench storage, and other ideal storage solutions.
Cabinet Storage:
As far as cabinets go, there are many solutions to create function storage in your kitchen. From pull out drawers behind your cabinet doors to a lazy Susans and corner pull outs, you can find the perfect place for all your kitchen items.
Lazy Susans are a well-known and popular storage secret that allow you to make the most use of your corner cabinets. The revolving in-cabinet shelving is perfect for storing snacks, small appliances, or any additional items you want to keep off your countertops.
Two Story Shelves are one of our favorite storage tips to add storage to your cabinets. You can use wire shelf risers on top of your cabinets built in shelving to create a second layer of usable storage space. Or have two story shelves installed with your new cabinet system.
A Skinny Spice Rack is another excellent way to make use of the small spaces between cabinets, appliances, etc. Adding a skinny pull out organizer to store spices, canned, goods, cookbooks, and more in these overlooked places is a great way to make use of the otherwise unused space.
Drawer & Bench Storage:
Drawers offer many opportunities to create creative storage solutions. Kitchen drawer dividers are an excellent way to compartmentalize items, as well as double drawers which offer a drawer within a drawer.
Drawers Inside Cabinets is another great way to utilize the space behind your cupboard doors. You can find creative ways to separate all of your kitchen items in tucked away drawers that are out of sight. You can separate utensils, tools, towels, and other supplies into baskets or drawers to optimize storage in deep cabines.
Bench Storage is perfect for the kitchen and can be easily implemented if you choose to add a breakfast nook. The stylish trend allows for crucial storage space beneath the bench seating and offers plenty of space for all your extra kitchen essentials. Try storing lesser used items underneath such as, seasonal platters, plastic utensils, outdoor cushions, and more
Additional Storage:
No two kitchens will have the exact same storage solutions, be creative and find what will work for you and your lifestyle! These additional storage solutions are great for organizing pans, towels, or left over clutter throughout the kitchen.
Storing Pans Sideways is a great trick for keeping pots and pans organized and accessible. Stacking pot lids and pans sideways ensures easy access, clean up, and storage for your precious cookware. Plus, no more noisy rummaging through a mess to find what you need.
A Coat Rack is a stylish and practical kitchen storage solution that offers many storage possibilities. Stylish and practical, a coat rack in the kitchen has multiple possibilities, from hanging aprons, towels and potholders, to even pots and pans
