One-Wall Kitchen Remodel Ideas

One-wall home kitchen remodeling is perfect if you have a small kitchen space to work with. The countertops, cabinets, and essentials including the refrigerator, sink, and stove go along one wall.

The other three sides of your kitchen are open and usually face living areas. The countertops in a one-wall kitchen layout are usually about 8 feet long, just long enough to support the major services (your sink, stove, and dishwasher). Because one-wall kitchens are smaller, they often lack priority in the order in which services are arranged.

One-wall kitchen layouts have two rows of countertops and cabinets separated by one aisle. This type of kitchen is common for remodeling projects in rental homes, apartments, condos, and small detached homes.

 

Advantages Of A One-Wall Kitchen Remodel

 

Remodeling your one-wall kitchen is a perfect way to conserve space in your home. Keeping kitchen essentials like the refrigerator, stove, and sink on one wall takes up less space than other kitchen designs. If you don’t need a large kitchen, a one-wall kitchen design gives you the flexibility to you can use that square footage in other ways.

Remodeling a one-wall kitchen costs less than other kitchen layouts because they have a smaller and simpler design.

Remodeling your one-wall kitchen creates a good workflow in this space with everything easily accessible and within reach. Having all the major services within a few feet of each other means you don’t have to move far to get what you need. This is beneficial for solo home chefs, quick work, or two people working together.

 

Disadvantages Of A One-Wall Kitchen Remodel

 

Disadvantages come into play during this remodel project when more than two people need access to your one-wall kitchen at the same time. This kitchen layout utilizes the same space for multiple jobs, making it difficult to prepare food, cook, and eat.

A one-wall kitchen design is not suitable for large families or entertaining due to its limited space.

In addition, remodeling your kitchen space into a one-wall layout will limit your storage space, especially if you are unable to utilize the opposite wall for storage. Limited storage space may also limit the amount of appliances you can have, thus limiting your cooking capabilities. If you choose to add your appliances anyway, your kitchen will quickly become crowded and look even smaller.

Selling a home with a one-wall kitchen design can be difficult because homebuyers may be reluctant to accept it, leading to a lower resale value for your home, so keep that in mind when thinking about your remodel plans.
