GALLEY
The galley layout is made up of two parallel countertops with a walkway in between – perfect for the organised chef. This style was originally designed for compact cooking zones on boats, so it’s ideal for smaller homes. An important benefit of this layout is having all of your appliances easily accessible. The downside? The galley can lack storage and can feel a little antisocial – so if you like to entertain, it may not be right for you. One solution is to make the second countertop an island bench, as in the kitchen pictured.
