The right kitchen layout will greatly affect your comfort while doing activities. Here are some design inspirations to consider based on your needs and room size.
Linear kitchen (single wall)
A linear kitchen places the stove, sink, and refrigerator along one wall. This layout is ideal for small kitchens or apartment spaces. The design is simple, makes the kitchen look tidy, and creates a spacious impression with the use of clean white or neutral tones.
Galley kitchen (two walls)
A galley kitchen uses two parallel walls to form an efficient workflow. This solution works well for narrow modern minimalist kitchens that still require plenty of storage. IKEA’s racks, cabinets, and modular furniture can help keep the interior neat and space-efficient.
L-shaped kitchen
An L-shaped kitchen design maximizes the corner of the room, creating a practical workflow. This layout allows for additional features, such as a small dining counter with chairs, making it multifunctional as a dining area. Combining wood materials with shades of gray will add warmth and a natural feel.
U-shaped kitchen
A U-shaped kitchen uses three walls to arrange cabinets, counters, and work areas. This layout suits larger modern kitchens. It provides abundant storage space, while marble textures or wood accents on floors and walls create an elegant and luxurious impression.
Kitchen with an island
A kitchen island adds a central table that can serve as a mini bar, dining table, or extra workspace. This model enhances social interaction in the family space while giving the kitchen a stylish, modern look. IKEA offers flexible kitchen islands with minimalist designs that can be easily paired with other furniture.

Tips for planning your dream kitchen
To make both simple and modern kitchen designs function at their best, several key principles should be followed. With the right planning, the kitchen will become a more comfortable and efficient space.
Focus on the work triangle
The work triangle between the stove, sink, and refrigerator is the key to an efficient kitchen. With proper arrangement, movements are minimized, making even a simple kitchen more functional.
Choose the right materials and equipment
Materials like marble for countertops, plain tiles for walls, and wood accents for cabinets create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Complement these with industrial or classic pendant lights to add a stylish touch. IKEA provides high-quality, modern minimalist materials that are durable and easy to maintain.
