Are you planning a full kitchen remodeling project this spring? This is a big investment, so you’ll have to do more than just draw inspiration as you browse images online. You must carefully consider what your needs and preferences are, especially the type of setup that works best for you in your kitchen space. Each design serves a different purpose, but if you’re one to use your kitchen all the time, consider going for a galley setup.
How a Galley Kitchen Works
The galley kitchen setup may also be the perfect choice if you’re looking for a simple layout that’s easy to use. It’s typically designed as two parallel runs of units that form a central corridor. This comes in two types of layouts – symmetrical and asymmetrical – that fit most types of kitchen spaces.
A symmetrical design is where the length of the runs and arrangement of units on each side share virtually the same design language. An asymmetrical design is where various elements are used in the galley setup, such as having all the appliances and cabinets on one side, and the base and wall units on the other.
The Benefits You’ll Get With a Galley Kitchen
Choosing a galley setup as your kitchen layout has its many advantages, including the following:
- Simple Design and Convenience
The design is inspired by the compact galley on ships that maximizes the space with large storage and work areas. Because of their simple design and efficiency, galley setups are the preferred layout in many professional kitchens. And as an interior remodeling expert, we also highly recommend this setup if you have a small space. It keeps your kitchen compact yet versatile at the same time! - Cost-Effective and Efficient
Galley kitchens are even ergonomically more efficient compared to other kitchen design layouts because all the features and services you need are within easy reach. For instance, you can walk toward the stove or oven and sink area while reaching for the refrigerator.
