The Galley Kitchen

The basic galley kitchen is actually very efficient to work in. Everything is at arms length and easy to work in. I had a galley kitchen many years ago and loved it. The children were small at the time. So, when I needed a little peace and quiet, I would shut the doors to the kitchen and have some quality cooking time.

The galley kitchen consists of two walls of cabinets and appliances across from each other. The work triangle can be quite efficient. The one draw back is the lack of counter space. Unless it is quite a long space, the galley is usually lacking in counter prep area. With a little creativity though, it can be a very attractive and inviting design space.
