In-line kitchens: these are the ideal types of kitchens for narrow and long spaces as the minimum space required is 360 cm. Their location can be either along a single wall, or along two mirrored walls (double linear kitchens), with the cooking and washing areas positioned close together.

• Kitchens with island : the larger spaces allow great freedom of movement and allow you to cook in the center of the kitchen facing the surrounding environment. The island can generally have various functions: either that of housing a sink and hob, or it can be used only as a countertop for food processing.
• Kitchens with peninsula : this type of configurations are the most suitable in modern environments to accommodate the layout of the living room and kitchen in a single open space. Therefore, the kitchen that also becomes a living room separates the living room from the cooking area and appliances in the same room, without the need to separate the walls or other dividing furniture. In the modular models, the peninsula can become a dining table, or a hob and washing area, rather than a worktop.
• Modern corner kitchens : Modern corner kitchens are compositions equipped with corner and functional elements, they are elements that allow you to make the most of small spaces but also if the environment is large.

Or opt for peninsula solutions for modern environments where the layout of the kitchen merges with that of the living room in a single open space without dividing walls.
