A single or one wall kitchen is a cool layout that has all of the cabinets, countertops, and major work services arrayed along one wall. The other three sides of the kitchen are open and often face living areas. With the one-wall layout, the counter typically is around 8 feet long. If the counter were any shorter, you would not have enough room to fit main appliances you need. One-wall kitchen layouts are often augmented with mobile kitchen islands or carts. These pieces allow more countertop space for food preparation. Thinking of getting one? Then consider these pros and cons first to decide.
Pros
One wall kitchen layout is perfect for small families; for those who live in limited space. It gives you maximum floor area for traffic, other furniture and also creates a sense of openness in room.
Limited counter space means lower costs, as counters tend to run up kitchen budgets considerably. Fewer wall and base cabinets are used, too. All appliances, ingredients and food preparation area tend to be within and easy to reach in a single wall kitchen. The countertop and shelving against wall with no island on the way, enables the space to be more flexible where extra (free stand table, cart etc) can move easily when necessary for dining area or as additional work zone.
Because you do not have to join up counters or other complicated work, the one-wall design is the easiest for the do-it-yourself homeowner to undertake.

Cons
While there are many advantages of single wall kitchens, their disadvantages aren’t many, which makes this kitchen a very good idea. One wall kitchen is least efficient plan as the cook has to walk from one end to the other end of kitchen many times while cooking. Due to its smaller size and single length it offers a very limited counter space and difficult for multiple cooks to work together at same time. There’s no corner base/upper cabinet which increases the functionality of the kitchen as compare to other kitchen layouts. There’s a lack of storage space as compared to other kitchen arrangements. Now take a look at more ideas and decide whether you want this kitchen layout or not.
