A kitchen is considered the heart of the home. It is the gathering place for family and friends to come together. While there are many styles of kitchens, the newest trend is the one-wall kitchen.  Sleek, bold and minimalistic. But, what exactly is a one-wall kitchen and how it is different from other kitchens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a one-wall kitchen maximizes the home\u2019s square footage while creating a more open floorplan. Traditionally, the layout of a kitchen follows the concept of a \u201cwork triangle\u201d where the refrigerator and range are located on one wall and the sink is perpendicular or across from them. The traditional kitchen utilizes two or more walls for cabinets and countertops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-wall kitchen layout, however, has the major kitchen elements on a shared wall at least 8\u2019 wide. Similar to a production line in a commercial kitchen, the various working zones are more streamline from storage (refrigerator) to prep (sink) to cooking station (range). The other three walls of the kitchen are open and often face the home\u2019s main living area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although one-wall kitchens are typically found in apartments or smaller homes, they can also be considered a unique feature of a larger home. By choosing dramatic cabinet finishes, sleek countertops, trendy hardware and appliances, the one-wall kitchen is the perfect canvas for making a bold statement in your home. On the other hand, for a less obvious approach, homeowners can opt for a discrete style with built-in appliances and seamless cabinetry.<\/p>\n\n\n
