Four kitchen units ensure short distances, plenty of storage space and a cosy atmosphere: G-shaped kitchens are in vogue for good reason. They radiate openness, harmonise perfectly with open-plan living concepts and can be individually adapted to your preferences.
What should be considered when planning a G-shaped kitchen and what advantages does the design offer? We at BORA reveal clever tips for kitchen planning.
A G-shaped kitchen combines three classic lines with a shortened element, such as a counter or a peninsula. This results in generous work surfaces on the worktops, plenty of storage space and efficient work paths. G kitchens are ideal for large areas and open-plan concepts. The self-contained shape creates a cosy look: The closed shape gives the kitchen a homely feel - particularly in open-plan living concepts, this creates a separate, clearly defined area within the room.
Other advantages of the G-shaped kitchen include ...
You also have a free choice of style: Modern G-shaped kitchens are just as common as country house style or industrial look looks.
For a G-shaped kitchen, the area should have a minimum size of around 15 square metres. This leaves enough space between the opposing rows to move freely and open all doors and pull-outs at the same time. The ideal distance between the rows is no less than 1.20 metres. If you often cook with several people, two metres are recommended. Each row should be at least 3.5 to 4 metres long. This leaves sufficient space in the interior.
The all-round shape is also ideal for small kitchens - especially as a G-shaped kitchen with a counter. Pay attention to factors like these when planning your kitchen:
More space, more kitchen cupboards, work surface and room for a peninsula: A medium-sized kitchen in G-shape opens up numerous options for individual wishes. Longer kitchen units create a generous open space in the centre where two or more people can move around comfortably. We reveal tips for kitchen planning for a medium-sized G-shape:
Lots of space, countless possibilities for the G-shaped kitchen: A floor plan that allows a wide range of furnishing options and opens up plenty of space is virtually predestined for all-round design. When it comes to equipping your kitchen with cabinets and appliances, you have practically every option open to you. How does a G-shaped kitchen with a cooking island look?
It is a good idea to combine a large G-shaped kitchen with a counter and a central island. While the counter serves as a dining area, you integrate the hob in the centre of the room. Ideally, you should leave a space of 1.20 metres or more around the island. This allows you to move comfortably around the entire kitchen area, even when several people are using it at the same time.
Cooking vapours are a thing of the past: Discover the BORA hobs with integrated extractor hoods.
In G-shaped kitchens, four kitchen units and an optional island provide plenty of storage space. You can store crockery, glasses and provisions in floor-to-ceiling larder units, wall modules and tall units. Extracts provide a perfect overview of the content and allow easy access.
The corners can also be cleverly utilised, for example with carousel kitchen units or swivel pull-outs. The peninsula of a G-shaped kitchen also offers additional storage space.
With a well thought-out arrangement of work areas and storage options, you can create a functional G-shaped kitchen: Not only does it offer ergonomic comfort, it will also become your favourite place in your home.
