🏡 The kitchen is the #1 room that sells a home.
Buyers walk in, look at the layout, and make up their minds — fast. It's not just about granite countertops or stainless appliances. It's about how the space WORKS.
Here are the 6 kitchen layouts every homeowner should know:
🔳 U-Shape — Maximum storage, perfect for multiple cooks
📐 L-Shape — Open feel, great flow, island-ready
🏝️ Island — Extra prep space + that wow factor buyers love
🔲 Galley — Sleek and efficient in narrower homes
🔶 Peninsula — Seating and separation without a full island
🏡 Open-Concept — One of the most-wanted features in today's market
Whether you're buying, selling, or dreaming about a remodel, your kitchen layout matters more than you think.
