The six most common modular kitchen layouts are the L-Shaped, Straight Line, U-Shaped, Parallel or Galley, Island and Peninsula – each of these has it's own advantages and makes use of the work triangle differently. The biggest advantage of modular kitchens is that they can be assembled and reassembled. This means that every time you move home your kitchen comes with you. In contrast, with civil kitchens, cabinets once built are permanent making it impossible to dismantle them later.
