Galley Kitchens

A galley kitchen consists of two parallel counters with an aisle or walkway in the middle. Named after the compact galley on a ship, galley kitchens are designed to make the most of a space. Many users love galley kitchens as they are quick and easy to work in and are ideal for small-to-medium-size kitchens. Some galley kitchen floor plans are passthrough-style, meaning that each side of the walkway flows into another room. Other galley kitchens have an entry on just one side, with a wall or sometimes a small breakfast nook at the other end of the corridor.
