A galley kitchen mimic’s the long and narrow layout found on ships, which is where its name originates.
Typically found in extensions to the rear of terraced properties, a galley kitchen consists of a bank of two parallel units with a walkway, or corridor, running down the middle.
Ergonomically favourable a galley kitchen requires simplicity, organisation, and careful planning during the kitchen design stage, to really maximise the available space.
With a bank of two parallel kitchen worktop units that face each other, a galley kitchen design typically splits the two stations with one featuring all the kitchen appliances and the opposite surface left clear, for food preparation and serving.
If you’re faced with limited space don’t think you have to be restricted on style.
Providing a handful of galley kitchen ideas, with clever space enhancing tips a small galley kitchen can be transformed into an inspiring kitchen layout.
Kitchen Flooring
When installing kitchen flooring make sure it runs lengthways and parallel to the units to give the illusion that the kitchen is longer.
Kitchen Design
Any kitchen design lends itself to a galley kitchen, but a clean streamlined linear kitchen finish helps simplify the space, making it feel bigger than it is.
Colour Schemes
Keep the colour scheme light and bright in your galley kitchen to make the space feel open and airy.

what our customers say
I'm a fussy person, not easy to please, but I know class & work done to the highest specification when I see it. All work has been done to my satisfaction & above from start to finish.
Mr Mason, Fernley, Leeds, West Yorkshire
The whole process from start to finish was of the highest standard.
From the design by Julie to the actual work being done under the project management of Rob, the job was second to none. It was a seamless transformation and we are delighted with the result.
Highly recommend.
Mrs Morrison, Woodlands, Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Very helpful in planning and installation. Lovely people.
Mr & Mrs Wilson, Leeds, West Yorkshire
Absolutely amazed with the transformation of our kitchen and downstairs bathroom!
Mr & Mrs Wadsworth, Mirfield, West Yorkshire
Having recently completed our kitchen I can honestly say that More Kitchens are the best company I have employed to do major works to my home and of the three replacement kitchens we have had over the years by far the best.
From the initial visit and designs by Julie, the project management by Rob to the final decorations everything was fantastic. All the trades guys (Andy - main fitter, Dave the plasterer and finally Michael the decorator) have been excellent. Our kitchen started before the lockdown and finally completed many weeks later due to the pandemic but overall the experience was a very positive one.
I got the pictures out of the initial design the other day - Julie nailed it apart from the changes we made to decorations and lighting More Kitchens delivered exactly what we asked for. We are highly delighted with our kitchen, the works done to open the kitchen out into the pre-existing dining room and the works to our conservatory to raise the floor level to the same as the kitchen and give us much more usable room. Brilliant job all round, thanks very much!
