Due to the different apartment types, the custom design of stainless steel cabinets is also different. Small unit is usually designed as a one-counter or L shape. Larger units or villas are designed to be U-shaped or island shape. Some special units may be designed as galley kitchens.

But it has a disadvantage that it is not flexible and convenient compare the cabinets with arcs or corners. Because the area where people move is only one straight lines, the staffs cannot be reach with only turning back or corner. Therefore, this shape needs to be designed according to your own needs.
2. L-shape
The L shape is chosen by many people. The design of L-shaped cabinets generally follows the “triangle” principle, which means that the refrigerator is on one side, washing area is on one side, and the cooking area is on the side. The moving of people forms a triangle which is more convenient. The vegetables are taken out from the refrigerator, and then washed and cut, after that is cooking.
3. U-shape
The U-shape is suitable for a kitchen with a large area. In this shape, usually the sink is designed in the middle, the cooking area and the preparation area are designed on two sides or one side. U-shaped cabinets generally have a smooth flow, and also have a big advantage which is the strong storage function. If the kitchen is large enough and want more storage space, can consider the U-shaped design.
