The galley kitchen is the most functional kitchen design for most spaces and can be found in many commercial kitchens. It is a modern design that allows the shortest access to all areas of the kitchen with two walls of cabinetry and benchtop parallel to each other. It is typical for galley kitchen designs to feature appliances on one wall of the kitchen and cleaning and food prep areas on the other.

If you’re planning a galley kitchen in a small space, consider integrated appliances for unbroken cabinetry that extends the length of the kitchen, creating the illusion of space. Choosing lighter colours can also help make the space feel larger, while using modern storage solutions inside your cabinets and drawers will help a small galley kitchen stay organised and uncluttered.
