If you are after galley kitchen ideas and inspiration, then you've come to the right place. 

So much has changed in the way in which we design and use our kitchens over the last decade or so, but there is something reassuring in how the galley kitchen has adapted to the new-found sense of space in more contemporary kitchen ideas , and has thrived. 

Galley kitchen ideas – turn this narrow layout into a dream space

Named after a ship’s kitchen, galley kitchens were originally associated with simplicity and tight spaces – there’s not much room for superfluous detail on the average ship. But the reason that galley kitchen layouts work is that they are ergonomically sound – it's easy to place everything so it is to hand.

1. Use galley kitchen layouts in an open plan kitchen

Open plan kitchens and spacious islands are partly to blame for wall units falling out of fashion – when you’ve got oodles of space to play with, it’s easy to see why you would want to keep the look open and save reaching overhead.  

But wall units will always have a valid place in small kitchens and narrow rooms, where you can make the most of the height and still have usable worksurface. 

Popular options include lift up doors and tall, sleek, flat-fronted doors in a striking material. But if you are really not a fan, consider open shelving or perhaps cubby holes if you need to make use of more height.

If you really want to make a statement in a galley kitchen, paint your units in an entirely different color to the rest of the room to make them sing out. 

2. Create a modern interpretation of the galley kitchen

In recent years, a third galley kitchen scenario has evolved, incorporating the galley layout into more modern kitchen ideas .

'Modern galley kitchens can be part of a much larger space, featuring a wall-hugging galley run with a long island running parallel, separating a living or dining area beyond,' explains Paul O’Brien, director of Kitchens International.  

Although following the double galley footprint, it feels different as it is a lighter, more open and more sociable space. 

3. Declutter with the right storage

Good kitchen storage ideas are perhaps the most important element to consider when planning a galley kitchen. 

Choose a scheme that includes plenty of storage, and if wall units aren’t possible in all areas, go for an abundance of floor units with drawers. 

Also, natural light is key in helping to create space, so if possible include a window and door in your galley kitchen. A neutral color scheme in all areas will help to give the feeling of space.

Simple kitchen color schemes don't have to mean all-white designs though. Here, a tonal palette of subtle blues, grays and taupes blend beautifully to create a stylish gray kitchen .

4. Keep it open and bright

Galley kitchens have a tendency to look small and cluttered, but there is one way to negate this issue.  

Give small kitchen layouts the illusion of space by going for shelves rather than wall units. 

Keep them the same color as the rest of the cabinetry below for a seamless look, and have fun displaying colorful glass bottles, storage containers and too-pretty-to-hide-away teapots.

5. Trick the eye with light, color and minimal cabinetry

A galley kitchen layout is particularly suited to more compact spaces, as it ensures you have the worksurfaces and appliances you need while still providing essential storage for small kitchens .

The trick is to make the space work for you – make it look bigger by using light colors and reflective surfaces.

'Try not to have tall units on both sides in double galley kitchens, as it will become overbearing,' advises Tim Higham of Higham Furniture. 'If possible, try to avoid wall cabinets on one side, opting for open shelving where feasible. This will help to make the space feel larger. '

6. Work a narrow room

To make the most of a tall, narrow kitchen, use a mixture of wall cabinets, open shelving, base cabinets and drawers to vary your design and keep the outlook as open as possible.

Make sure you have enough room to move around the kitchen easily without bumping into other people; check there is enough space between opposite runs of units to open drawers, cupboards and appliances, and if it’s a bit of a squeeze consider reduced depth cabinets.   

And last, but certainly not least, it’s essential to get the lighting right, especially in a narrow room. This really has to be planned at the start of the project. 

Overhead natural light is always a bonus – if you are planning a kitchen extension, think about where you can position skylights.

A single run is kitchen design as its most essential. 

If you only have a single run –  one row – of cabinets, worktop space may be limited, so it makes sense to create different zones for food preparation, serving and cleaning up, often divided by the key points of hob, sink and refrigerator.

Whatever the size of your room, try to keep the mix of colors and/or textures to two or possibly three – that includes the walls, floor and ceilings as well as the cabinets.

It is cheaper to change the walls five years on than it will be to buy and install new cabinets – so if you’re not sure, neutral kitchen cabinet colors may be the best option. 

8.  Work a galley layout into a large kitchen

The galley layout can work just wonderfully in a large kitchen. 

The presence of two runs of units provides an architectural frame to a dining table or kitchen island in the centre, while in open plan areas an island or run of units provides the cut-off between living and cooking zones.

Introduce a small dining area into galley kitchens by opting for a compact dining table, which can be pushed against an unused wall. 

9. Light up small galley kitchens

Kitchen lighting ideas can make or break both the aesthetics and function of a galley kitchen.  

'Keep galley kitchens as uncomplicated as possible – a simple layout and cleverly placed lighting will completely reinvent the space,' says Naomi Dean, furniture and showroom designer at Harvey Jones. 

'Opt for worktop spot-lights, that will not only brighten your workspace but will illuminate the rest of the area. This will instantly brighten your kitchen and add the effect of more space.'

10. Opt for handleless cabinetry

To make the most of available space without overwhelming a compact open plan room, consider a kitchen with handleless doors. Technological advances in push-open and close doors means that it has become possible to dispense with handles in both wall and base cabinets. 

Stone or wood floors are also a practical solution for galley kitchens that will help to create a layered, texturized effect. 

11. Keep cabinets at eye-level

Keeping walls cabinet-free at eye-level can make a galley kitchen appear wider. It’s also more comfortable to use kitchen countertops without cabinets looming above, so you won’t waste an inch of prep space. Position any tall storage required, e.g. fridge-freezers or larders, at the entrance to the room and you’ll naturally look past them. 

‘We deliberately avoided upper cabinetry to avoid closing in the airiness of the room. It also gives the original ceiling cornicing and architraves more breathing space,’ explains designer Jack Trench. ‘The base units are deeper than standard to maximize storage and counter space.’

12. Freshen up your color scheme

‘Using pale colors in a long, narrow kitchen is a great way to open up the room and helps to reflect and diffuse the available natural light,’ says Mark Mills, managing director of Mereway. 

Blues with yellow or grey undertones are ideal; red undertones will take you towards purple, which is more moody than upbeat. Think sky blue, duck egg and soft teal. Polished countertops and kitchen backsplashes ideas, again in pale tones, also boast light-reflecting powers. Make the flooring your darkest choice and go for a warm white on walls and ceiling. This graduation from dark to light is an established way to square-up elongated rooms.

What can I do with a galley kitchen?

Perhaps you're thinking, what can I do with a gallery kitchen? Well, galley kitchen ideas are designed to be both compact and ultra-efficient, maximizing every inch of space for both storage and preparation. Named after the space-efficient ship's kitchen, this popular linear layout is designed to work with ergonomic ease.

Professional kitchens also follow a similar linear plan, with lines of ranges or hobs divided into specific stations for the preparation of different types of dishes.

Where there is room for a parallel run of units – a double galley – you can introduce the classic work triangle, arranging the key task zones of fridge, cooker and sink in this pattern to cut down on the footwork between them.

This is not only successful in narrow rooms that have enough width to take two rows of units, its exactly the format that is so popular in open plan spaces, with a long island providing the second leg, often creating a sociable casual seating area and a natural boundary for the kitchen space at the same time.

How do you maximize a galley kitchen?

To maximize galley kitchens you simply need smart ideas. A good kitchen designer will be able to come up with solutions for the trickiest of spaces but if you feel you want to explore the room’s potential further, and are perhaps considering structural work, it is worth consulting an interior designer or architect. 

In double galley kitchens, storage ‘walls’ or ‘banks’ are a great solution for both open plan and closed schemes, by giving over the whole wall to a combination of storage and appliances. 

Storage can be organised in pull-out larders or increasingly popular pantry ideas – both have narrow shelving which makes products easily visible.  

A mix of both drawers and cupboards can serve you well in any kitchen, and can be designed in such a way that any handles and all the cabinetry lines align.  

Drawers are great for pots, pans, chinaware and ingredients, as you can pack a lot into the space and still access it easily. Fitting drawers under the hob also puts the maximum range of utensils, dishes and ingredients such as herbs to hand. 

Cupboards excel at hiding larger pieces of kit, including food mixers and perhaps even a trusty countertop microwave.

50 Gorgeous Galley Kitchens And Tips You Can Use From Them

If you're all set to tackle the installation and decoration of a narrow kitchen, then this set of inspirational kitchen designs should be right up your galley! A galley kitchen is defined by two rows of cabinetry that face one another with a narrow walkway in between. The name is derived from the kitchen area of boats, where space is very limited. The domestic galley kitchen allows a lot of cabinetry to be squeezed into a sliver of culinary space, and can facilitate doors or walkways at either end of the run. It can be completely contained or be part of a larger open plan living space.

Generally speaking, there are six types of kitchen layouts: The One Wall, Galley, L-shaped, U-shaped, Island and Peninsula. There are no strict positions in which to order the stove, fridge or sink, and a kitchen can be combinations of one or more of the typical layouts. For example, you could have an L-shaped kitchen with an island or a peninsula, or a galley kitchen that is linked at one end. In designing a functional kitchen, the kitchen work triangle should be considered, which means that the distance between the sink, stove and fridge should be no more than 1200mm apart. Though, the concept of the kitchen working triangle is now evolving further to take into account multiple cooks, as well as new gadgets and appliances.

Add a dining extension. Traditional galley kitchens would not typically have included any type of table, but a breakfast bar or dining bench extension will make a limited space work even harder for you. Open plan galleys offer the benefit of having seating around each side of an eating surface, but a closed capsule galley can still benefit greatly from a single sided dining installation.

Screen off the mess. Fashion a partially dividing wall that climbs just a little higher than the back of your units in an open plan layout. The added height is just enough to screen off unavoidable cooking mess and dishes from the rest of the living room. Attach a narrow countertop on the divider to create a neat coffee bar, and finish with a few bar stools.

Create connections. Check out the overhead panels in this layout. The connectors create a wonderfully cosy, complete and decidedly slick finish. Highlight the additions with ambient lighting for a really eye-catching effect.

Add pattern in unexpected ways. This straight kitchen run receives some surprising twists up at roof level. Diagonal wood slats cut across the ceiling, with industrial style lighting hung in triangle formation.

Galley kitchens can sometimes be U-shaped. Although this kitchen isn’t your typical U-shape, the galley run is somewhat linked by a large end unit and desk combo.

Make a galley kitchen feel wider by installing the wall cabinets only on one side. An open shelf can provide extra storage on the opposite wall without closing up the space.

Break up a long run of units using colour sections, like this yellow and white minimalist kitchen.

Another one for the yellow accent kitchens collection. This time yellow panels brighten the back of units and pick out display shelves. Decorative vases hold matching flowers on the bench.

Use coloured accents to highlight key areas, like a breakfast bar or plate rack.

Mix and match to suit your space. This tiny galley kitchen is in fact extended over on the right as a single wall kitchen. Three swivel bar stools transform a prep area into a dining spot. Storage is organized neatly as well. A knife holder and kitchen spoon holder flank the sink.

Trick the eye with high contrast. The larder units in this black and white kitchen go almost unnoticed. All the attention is drawn away from the slab fronted white cabinets by the unrelenting black base units and countertop combo opposite.

Just a small feature wall, like this rustic stone column, can completely transform the look of a room. A plain white facing wall at the end of this kitchen would have a very different effect.

Are you a tidy sort of person? If you are, then open kitchen shelving can be used in lieu of all wall cabinets. If you’re not, better swerve this one.

Open a window. If you’re not lucky enough to have a window at the end of your galley kitchen then consider having one put in. A small window can make a narrow space appear drastically more spacious, bright, and ultimately a more pleasant place to spend time in.

Don’t let obstacles stand in your way. This white kitchen runs straight through an architectural support by having the units wrap around it.

Brighten a bland scheme with small pops of colour; think bar stools and countertop appliances.

A bookcase acts as a rich feature wall at the end of this plain white setup.

Introduce a wooden section to warm a white kitchen.

A linear suspension light accentuates a galley setup. Wooden bar stools reflecting off the metal surface of the counter add to the beauty.

Break the boundaries. These kitchen bar stools are pulled up to a strip of cabinetry that is open at each end, which technically straddles this kitchen design between the galley and island categories.

Lowering one side of the galley allows regular height dining chairs to be used instead of high bar stools.

A chalkboard makes a cool and useful feature wall at the end of a kitchen galley space.

This industrial kitchen makes use of the end wall with a set of narrow shelves.

Choose a mobile trash can. A pedal bin on castors is a great idea for a long kitchen, as it can be wheeled easily from one end of the prep bench to the other.

Open up the walls to make limited spaces feel more airy. You don’t even have to remove the supportive struts, simply eliminate the plasterboard.

A large modern chandelier (or two) adds flair and grandeur over an open galley arrangement.

Create an overlapping dining top. This grey kitchen bench is overlapped by a dark wooden top with an overhang, to create a comfortable and isolated dining spot.

Island extractor hoods mean that stoves can be situated on the outer perimeter of a galley.

Look high and low. Copper panels tie the two sides of this design together, with the copper at the back situated higher to keep it visible to the rest of the living room.

Use the full height of your kitchen. This one has a wine rack that extends from bench height up to the ceiling, plus a set of high shelves that skim the rafters. Keep seasonal items and special occasion crockery in higher volumes so that you’re not having to climb up step ladders on a regular basis.

If you are considering installing a window at the end of a galley kitchen, then how about going the whole hog and making it a glass door out to the garden or patio area?

This blue door provides an interesting effect. A white door in the same space just wouldn’t give the same punch to the pale scheme. Note how the adjacent door has been left white though, because sometimes less is more.

Create handy niches. The space below this stovetop has been left open to hold cooking pots close at hand.

It’s always about the finishing touches. Whether it’s shiny gold handles or a stylish modern fruit bowl to dress the countertop.

Mix and match countertops to add interest.

Wallpaper the back of a shelving unit. A beautiful floral print or a striking geometric design gives a personalised touch.

Galley kitchens don’t always look strictly straight…

… The open side could be a geometric cut unit, a zigzag or waved volume.

Can’t trust yourself to put things back where they belong on open shelving? Then how about this quirky chalkboard labelling technique to keep you on the straight and narrow. A “juice” label points to the Juicy Salif citrus juicer by Philippe Starck for Alessi, and there’s even a pointer above the kitchen clock labelled “time” – just in case you forget!

Think about how you use your kitchen before you start. This huge galley kitchen sink takes up a lot of bench space, but if you’re not a fan of dishwashers then it’s worth the real estate to keep the bench clear of used crockery.

Install a lighting soffit rather than low hung pendant lighting for a no-fuss sleek modern kitchen.

Perch a table at the end of a wall of integrated units.

Shape wall units into the eaves to maximise storage.

Clear glass and wirework lights keep a space looking open. These unique kitchen pendant lights allow the eye to see straight through.

Go all out on a colour theme. This blue kitchen has the same shade of blue units, walls and ceiling.

Prevent cooking splashes over an adjacent living area with a glass screen.

Grow your own. Check out these unique hanging planters that don’t take up a single millimetre of bench real estate.

Play to the strengths of the room, and play up the quirks too.

Think outside the box. This slanted futuristic kitchen bench skims straight over a slope in the floor.

The 6 Most Popular Kitchen Layouts: Pros and Cons

A well-planned kitchen layout is critical to creating an efficient, enjoyable space. We look at the pros and cons of the most popular kitchen layouts.

The kitchen is more than just a space for cooking. This is the center of domestic activity, a source of pride and a place for communication. When it comes to planning your dream kitchen, we strive to ensure maximum space efficiency and furniture functionality. Every space is unique, but there are some standard configurations and general restrictions that come into play when renovating a kitchen.

Island kitchen

Island kitchens only work when you have a lot of space. They are great for parties, allowing the person in the kitchen to be part of the action. The layout of the island is perfect for people who want their kitchen to be a social hub. This allows the chef to participate in the preparation of food in communication with the guests. A successful island kitchen configuration requires a lot of space. Experts recommend a minimum of 16 square meters. M to accommodate an island kitchen. A long island countertop is preferred and gives enough space for cooking, socializing and washing up.

Pros

Islands can be designed with built-in sinks and burners, but they work best as a work area when no cooking or sink facilities are available.

Cons

There is nowhere to hide in such a kitchen. Your kitchen is on display and it's important to keep it clean. The open connection between the kitchen and the living area means there is little to no separation between the noise of cooking and life in the living room. Often one just interferes with the other.

Design Tip

Make your island the centerpiece by giving it a unique shape or using dramatic materials like marble or wood. Rectangular island countertops should be at least 2. 4m long to ensure harmonious proportions.

U-shaped kitchens

U-shaped kitchens are a chef's dream, but you have to pay attention to the space between parallel work areas. If they are too wide, the position of the cook when cooking can be uncomfortable. U-shaped kitchens are great for large families where multiple chefs work at the same time. It's a flexible layout and can work in both long, narrow galley styles and larger areas with a central island workbench. Where space allows, a center dining table provides a casual dining area or work space.

Pros

U-shaped kitchens can be placed next to the living area, which encourages family reunification but provides a degree of privacy from the open plan living/dining area.

Cons

The sheer mass of U-shaped kitchen cabinets can seem unwieldy if you don't pay attention to the details. This kitchen layout is also better suited to an apartment than a modern home.

Design tip

Watch the passage between work areas! The space between the cabinets can be of any size, but if it is too large, it becomes inconvenient to move between work areas.

L-shaped kitchen

The L-shaped kitchen lends itself to a large area and is ideal if you want to include a dining table in the layout. Place tall cabinets and a refrigerator, built-in oven along one side of the kitchen, and the main worktop (with hob and sinks) on the other, shorter one. This will provide maximum bench and storage space, as well as enough room for two people working in the kitchen to move around.

Pros

Responsive, functional, stylish floor plan layout. This is a very popular kitchen scheme for the home.

Cons

Sometimes this configuration is designed to install any equipment in a row and the cooking process may not be convenient.

Design Tip

In an L-shaped kitchen, finishing taller cabinets in the same color or material as the walls should visually blend in with the rest of the room.

Single row kitchen

This arrangement is best suited for compact spaces such as small open plan apartments. The larger straight kitchen is also suitable for families who like to dine in the kitchen. This scheme works well when the dining table is next to the kitchen. The table can double as an additional preparation area. For a balanced look, place the refrigerator at one end of a long countertop and the oven, microwave, and storage cabinet at the other. The hob, sinks and benches should occupy the space between them.

Pros

This layout is ideal for square-shaped dining/kitchen combinations where restrictions such as hallways, doors or windows can interfere with cabinet placement on the walls.

Cons

If electrical appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators are not integrated into the kitchen furniture, the kitchen design can be visually cluttered. An induction hob will also help optimize your kitchen layout.

Design tip

For clarity of design, properly design the floor finish between the kitchen and the dining/living area. Tiled or wood floors work best.

Two-Row Kitchen

Galley kitchens are common in old houses and apartments, as well as in narrow terraced houses with a small separate kitchen. This is a good way to use corridors; By including all the necessary elements on each side of a narrow room, the space is efficiently used.

Pros

This kitchen design has the potential to take advantage of and turn a narrow aisle into a very functional space.

Cons

Narrow two-row kitchens can be dark and cramped if there is no natural light, the cabinets are too tall.

Design Tip

Combine full height cabinets and leave room for countertops on the windowsill to open up the space, brighten it up and add light.

Peninsula Kitchen

The peninsula kitchen design is best suited for smaller kitchens. The layout is a practical solution for small kitchens that need extra workspace and storage.

Pros

Opens the kitchen to the surrounding area, allowing free movement around the kitchen.

Cons

This layout creates a kitchen with an unusable outdoor space.

Design Tip

A galley or straight kitchen might be the best option. It is these kitchen layouts that most designers prefer when arranging a peninsular kitchen. See how the kitchen connects to the rest of the house. The choice of materials should be limited. Three are enough: countertop, cabinets and tiles. Keep your microwave and other appliances on the countertop.
