Livastu
At Livastu Home Interior, we design premium parallel modular kitchens that maximise every square foot of your kitchen space, deliver exceptional storage on both walls, and create a cooking environment so efficient and so stylish that you will wonder how you ever cooked any other way. If you are serious about cooking and serious about design — the parallel kitchen by Livastu is made for you.
Our Parallel Kitchen Services Include:
1. Custom Parallel Layout Design — Expertly planned dual-wall kitchen layout with precise corridor width, workflow zoning, and storage optimisation — tailored exactly to your room dimensions and cooking style.
2. Dual-Wall Premium Cabinet Design — Two complete runs of base cabinets, wall cabinets, and tall units on opposing walls — precision-built in your chosen finishes for a seamless, high-impact kitchen aesthetic.
3. Dedicated Wet & Dry Zone Planning — One wall devoted to the wet zone — sink, washing, and prep — and the opposite wall dedicated to the dry zone — cooking, hob, and appliances — for a perfectly organised, zero-conflict workflow.
4. Dual Countertop Design — Two full-length work surfaces in your chosen material — granite, quartz, marble, sintered stone, or compact laminate — giving you generous, dedicated prep and cooking areas on both sides.
5. Tall Unit & Pantry Integration — Full-height pantry towers, refrigerator housings, and appliance columns at one or both ends of the kitchen run — maximising vertical storage without consuming precious corridor space.
6. Built-In Appliance Integration — Seamlessly fitted hobs, chimneys, ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, and dishwashers — intelligently distributed across both walls for a balanced, clutter-free kitchen environment.
7. Corridor Width Optimisation — Expert planning of the kitchen corridor — typically between 900mm and 1200mm — ensuring comfortable movement, easy cabinet access, and effortless workflow for one or two cooks simultaneously.
8. Backsplash Design on Both Walls — Coordinated or contrasting backsplash treatments on both kitchen walls — premium tiles, glass panels, stainless steel cladding, or stone slabs — creating a kitchen that looks extraordinary from every angle.
9. Under-Cabinet & Profile Lighting — LED strip lighting beneath wall cabinets on both sides of the corridor — flooding your entire kitchen workspace with perfect task lighting and a warm, premium ambient glow.
10. Open End Design Options — Beautifully designed open ends to the kitchen corridor — with breakfast bar counters, glass partition screens, decorative columns, or seamless transitions into the dining or living area.
11. Smart Storage on Both Walls — Pull-out drawers, cutlery inserts, bottle pull-outs, waste bins, spice racks, tandem box systems, and wicker baskets distributed intelligently across both walls for maximum organisation.
12. Premium Accessories & Internal Fittings — The full range of Livastu modular kitchen accessories installed across both cabinet runs — every fitting chosen to maximise functionality and cooking pleasure.
Why Parallel Kitchen?
The parallel kitchen is the layout of choice in professional restaurant kitchens worldwide — and for very good reason. Its two-wall configuration creates one of the most efficient cooking environments possible, with everything within easy reach and a natural, intuitive workflow that experienced cooks love.
Professional Efficiency — Inspired by commercial kitchens — wet zone on one wall, dry zone on the other — the most ergonomically efficient kitchen layout for serious cooking.
Maximum Storage on Two Walls — Two complete runs of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry deliver exceptional storage capacity — rivalling even the U-shape kitchen in total volume.
Ideal for Narrow Kitchens — The parallel layout works brilliantly in long, narrow kitchen rooms where L-shape or U-shape layouts are not feasible.
Perfect for Separate Kitchens — Ideal for closed, dedicated kitchen rooms — keeping cooking smells, heat, and activity contained away from living areas.
Two-Cook Friendly — Both walls can be used simultaneously — one person on the wet zone, another on the cooking zone — without interference or conflict.
Dramatic Visual Impact — Two full walls of matching cabinetry create a strong, symmetrical, visually powerful kitchen aesthetic that is deeply satisfying and impressive.
Highly Adaptable — Open one or both ends of the corridor to connect to dining areas, add a breakfast bar, or install a glass partition — the parallel kitchen adapts beautifully to any home layout.
