        "text": "An L-shaped layout fits open floor plans and smaller spaces, whereas a U-shaped layout provides maximum continuous counter space and storage in dedicated rooms. An L-shaped footprint keeps two walls open, making it simple to incorporate an island and integrate the kitchen with an adjoining living area. A U-shaped footprint wraps around three walls, which isolates the work area from foot traffic but may make multiple cooks feel confined if the central floor space is narrow.",
