Galley kitchen designs have the unique challenge of creating style and functionality in small narrow spaces. But with the right touches, galley kitchens can be tasteful and efficient. Light and brightness are essential to galley kitchens: large windows, crisp tones, and shiny surfaces and appliances can add an immense sense of space. Tableware and cook ware is stored in convenient places, maximizing galley kitchens' advantage of being just a step or two away from anything you need.
Galley kitchen designs maximize cabinet space through subtlety. Although cabinets cover walls, their smooth and understated colors and designs leave an uncluttered feel. Splashes of shiny tiles or sun-flooded windows pull the eye's attention. Plenty of counter space is another vital ingredient to galley kitchens - and like the cabinets, counter space is sleek and simple. While a bowl of fruit, small appliance, or simple decorative piece might adorn the countertop in a more spacious kitchen, with galley kitchens uncluttered is the way to go.
