When your space is compact, the one-wall kitchen, often dubbed Pullman’s kitchen, emerges as a smart solution. Aligning the three key work centers – fridge, cooktop, and sink – creates an efficiently organised workstation. This is especially ideal for snug studios and and homes where kitchen traffic is minimal. Keep counters clear to avoid a cluttered feel and make your feature decor stand out.
