GALLEY KITCHEN

These kitchens are typically found in long, narrow rooms. In galley layouts, counters run along the two parallel walls. ‘I love a galley-style kitchen,’ says Andy Briggs, interior designer at Optiplan Kitchens. ‘It doesn’t have to be a small narrow corridor as most would know them for, they can be wider spaces that work brilliantly for through rooms, allowing one room to effortlessly connect to the next. It allows a sense of comfort and sometimes needed privacy – a space to be yourself without being on show.’
