Query: How do you plan a galley kitchen layout?
Context: A galley layout is the preferred kitchen for many professional chefs, as it is a safe and efficient design for cooking. Whatever size of space you have to work with, it is wise to think about a few aspects of your galley layout. First, assess your home’s footprint and if you don’t want to cook in an enclosed room (galley kitchen layouts are traditionally in a separate room) consider if you can knock two rooms into one to create a more open-plan ambiance.
Decide if you want a symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement of cupboards and where you want to place the tall cabinetry. If possible, go for a wall length of at least 12 feet so the sink and cooktop can be placed away from each other – at least a foot apart for safety reasons but more than 3ft is preferable.
