A single wall kitchen is a kitchen that is all built into one linear wall. These types of kitchens are usually found in small houses and efficiency apartments to save floor space and construction costs.

A single-wall kitchen has all appliances, cabinets and worktops on one wall. This allows the owner to perform all tasks in one workspace. Due to the limited space, a single-wall kitchen will often contain a compact refrigerator and stove. These two appliances are often separated by a sink. Modern single-wall kitchens can have an island facing the wall, giving the resident more workspace. Other consumers rely on their kitchen counters to provide additional surfaces on which to prepare food. Although a single-wall kitchen is limited in its options, it does have its advantages. A single-wall kitchen allows the resident to prepare, cook and tidy up in one room, which is very convenient. The layout has also become popular with homeowners who have a lot of space but want to keep the kitchen open.
