This layout is best suited to compact spaces such as small, open-plan apartments. A larger-scale straight kitchens is also an option for families who like to dine in the kitchen. This layout works well when the dining table is directly adjacent to the kitchen. The table can double as an additional prep area. For a balanced look, position the fridge at one end of the long bench, with the oven, microwave and pantry tower at the other. The cooktop, sinks and benches should occupy the area in between.

PROS
This layout is ideal for square-shaped combined dining/kitchen spaces where constraints such as corridors, doors or windows may limit the amount of wall space for cabinetry.

CONS
Unless appliances like dishwashers and fridges are fully integrated, this kitchen design can be visually cluttered. An induction cooktop will also help streamline this kitchen layout.

DESIGN TIP
For a clean look, keep the floor finish consistent between the kitchen and dining/living areas. A tiled or timber floor will work best.
The Straight Shape modular kitchen, one of the simplest kitchen should be planned with great detail in order to suit the woman’s working style in every Indian home. A layout where all kitchen work zones are arrayed along one wall is how we see it. The length of one wall kitchen could vary and based on that, the appliances to be used are decided. The straight-line kitchen area is the most effective layout applicable for small spaces. One wall of the kitchen is kept open and the entire kitchen is set up on that. To maximize the limited space of the floor portion of the kitchen, we use built in appliances, with the sink unit situated at the middle of the line. Indeed, this is a smart solution for simple and small rooms.
