The Parallel-shaped kitchen is perhaps the most efficient of all kitchen in terms of designing as per the necessity. The Parallel - shaped kitchen layout resembles a two wall galley kitchen layout minus a wall. The Parallel-shaped modular kitchen layout consists of a work space on one wall with a second, free standing workspace running parallel to it. Also known as the corridor style, this compact layout locates the appliances, sink and cabinets on two parallel walls to create a small pass-through kitchen. These cooking spaces allow you to engage your creativity to pare your cooking lifestyle to the basics.
