What You Need to Know About Galley Kitchens



Planning a home remodel? The design and layout of your new kitchen are important and many homeowners find galley kitchens simple and convenient to use. A galley kitchen setup may be the perfect choice for you. 

What’s a Galley Kitchen?

A galley kitchen is typically designed as two parallel runs forming a central corridor in which to work. This setup can fit most kitchen designs and is also the preferred setup in many professional kitchens. This is because it makes it more convenient and efficient for cooks to work. The design is inspired by the compact galley on ships, and it maximizes the space with large storage and work areas.

Galley Kitchen Benefits

A galley kitchen renovation is perfect for those who are on a tight budget since galley kitchen setups are usually more cost-effective to build or remodel than other kitchen layouts. Galley kitchens are ergonomically better compared to other kitchen design layouts since all the key services are within easy reach. This means it’s easier to reach the refrigerator, stove/oven and sink as you use them.

Design Tips to Consider

Galley kitchens typically have one of two layouts. One is symmetrical, where the length of the runs and arrangement of units on each side share virtually the same design language. The other is asymmetrical, wherein various elements are used in the design. For instance, you might have all the appliances and cabinets on one side of the kitchen and the base and wall units on the other. 

Galley kitchens are especially great for smaller spaces. But this design is also a great way to get more space for other rooms in your home if you want your current kitchen to be more compact.
