The work triangle connects your sink, hob, and fridge — the three most-used points in any kitchen. For an efficient layout, no single side of the triangle should be shorter than 1.2m or longer than 2.7m. Place these three elements first in Free Room Planner and check the distances before adding units.
Galley kitchens have two parallel runs of units with a walkway between — minimum 120cm clearance required. L-shaped kitchens use two adjacent walls and are the most versatile layout for small and medium kitchens. U-shaped kitchens surround the cook on three sides and maximise storage. Island kitchens add a central unit — which needs at least 100cm of clear walkway on every side. For a detailed comparison of each type, read our complete kitchen layout guide.
Allow at least 40cm of worktop beside the hob on at least one side. Allow at least 60cm beside the sink for draining. Aim for at least 80–100cm of uninterrupted prep space somewhere in the layout. These are the minimum comfortable working distances — more is always better.
Check the fridge door swing (left-hinge, right-hinge, or French door) against adjacent units. Check the dishwasher door when open — it should not block the sink or the main kitchen walkway. Mark door swings in Free Room Planner using the door feature before finalising unit positions.
If your kitchen opens into a living or dining area, the layout needs to work for cooking and socialising. Read our open-plan living guide for advice on zoning, furniture placement, and making the most of a combined space.

Open the free kitchen plannerA kitchen layout that looks right in a brochure can still have the dishwasher door opening into the main walkway, or the work triangle stretched so wide that cooking becomes tiring. These problems are invisible until you draw the room to scale — and obvious the moment you do. The kitchen planner lets you test every configuration in your actual room dimensions: try the island, check if a galley works, see whether the fridge fits beside the tall units without blocking the door. Export the plan and share it with whoever is quoting or fitting.
