Common kitchen shapes that blend beauty and function

The Thomasville kitchen is carefully created with all every kitchen shape in mind. Whether you’re working in a small space or around a large island, we’ve engineered creative, comfortable cabinet solutions for you and your family. Here are some common ways you can use Thomasville with your specific kitchen shape.

U-shaped

Popular with many cooks because of its efficiency, the U-shaped kitchen offers generous counter space and provides an efficient workflow by creating a compact work triangle. Thomasville offers dozens of ideas for organization to better maximize your space.

L-shaped

The L-shaped kitchen offers flexibility for both large and small homes. This shape utilizes only two kitchen walls, providing an open sensibility. The L-shape minimizes traffic through the kitchen and, typically, features larger expanses of countertops, allowing ease of preparation at mealtime. Thomasville’s Base Corner with Curved Pullout, Segmented Super Susan and award winning Base Corner with Pullout are perfect for these types of spaces.

L-shaped with an island

Introducing an island to an L-shaped kitchen is ideal for entertaining. The ample counter space along the “L” of the kitchen becomes the primary work area, while the island allows guests or other family members to help prepare or just visit. Our Tiered Cutlery Drawer and Recycling Cabinet are great ways to turn an island into a work station.
