When it comes to contemporary kitchen design, defining a kitchen area in an open loft or great-room can be tricky. In this large living area, the homeowner chose to unify her one-wall kitchen by painting it a soft green and treating the upper kitchen cabinets like a single built-in unit with glass doors. A natural-color wood plate rack and open storage break up the long green wall. (via: kitchenbathideas.com)

One-Wall Kitchen Design Ideas

1. Plan Your Layout

Just as you would with any kitchen, but particularly those with long runs of units, you need to carefully map out where your appliances will sit. Ideally, you need to keep your ‘work triangle’ close – in other words, the sink, oven/hob and fridge within easy reach of each other. You can then consign storage cupboards to the ends of the run.

2. Treat It Like A Display

A down one wall kitchen necessarily looks onto an empty space with room beyond. It’s likely that this space will be devoted to dining or sitting, or both. So, it makes sense for your kitchen to look good – and by that we mean not entirely like a kitchen. Here, open shelves provide plenty of practical, to hand storage, but are also carefully colour co-ordinated and extremely neat. The result? A kitchen that’s good to look at.
