Galley Kitchen
Galley kitchen is a narrow corridor which usually got a lot of cabinetry. It’s challenging how you’ll be able to have a gorgeous kitchen out of that narrow space that you only have for that purpose. However, that’s not a problem, after all. You can have an amazing and very functional galley kitchen, even with small effort. You can remodel a galley kitchen that fits your style and preferences even with a small budget and time.
Below are top five ideas for remodeling a galley kitchen.
These are among the most popular styles perfect for a galley kitchen. Any homeowner that has this type of galley kitchen will surely be satisfied with such beautiful kitchen ideas.
Work Triangle
The most common configuration of the galley kitchen is the work triangle. This is the placing between the sink, the stove and the refrigerator. For example, the sink and the refrigerator are closer and the stove and oven are on the opposite side of the wall. Or, the triangular position wherein the sink, the stove, and refrigerator is in each of the sides. An ideal configuration in a small kitchen that gives the least distance for faster and more efficient kitchen preparations. You can add a kitchen island for more convenience if your space allows.
Portable or Fixed Peninsula
Kitchen island is very useful. It can be the center table for dining. It can be a bar, where you can entertain guests for a quick toast or a quick taste of your recipe, per se. If your area is bigger for a fixed peninsula, then, a fixed or permanent peninsula is a better option. You can double it as a storage, a sink or simply integrate a small refrigerator. However, if the area is smaller, then, a portable island would be a wise option. It also adds storage and the beautiful countertop that can be used for cooking preparations.
Create an Entry/Exit to Dining Area
If the space is too small for you to add a peninsula, then, you can have a separate place for your dining area. You can add an entry/exit door from your kitchen to the dining area. Aside from giving more space in the kitchen corridor, you can also move freely, especially on busy days while using the kitchen. Another advantage of the entry/exit section when your dining area is next to the galley kitchen is ample lighting in the kitchen. This lessens the expenses for lighting fixtures and electric bills.
Functional Drawer Pulls
Drawer pulls can be replaced with decorative pulls but, can be functional also. Instead of the ordinary common linear pulls, you can make it longer which can double as a towel hanger. The linear pulls seem modern, but you can achieve a vintage look with a simple add-on of decorative edges or simply the style of the pulls that you’ll use.
You Don’t Need to Stick to Lines
While the galley kitchens are usually narrow and sharp to the end, you don’t need to follow that convention. You can have some furniture and decorations to be a little curvy. With round/oval kitchen island, curved cabinetry or even the arched window for ventilation, these non-linear features balance the overall feel of your kitchen. You can use curved countertops, counter posts or moldings to prevent everything looking so sharp and linear. In this way, your galley kitchen will look smooth, soft and well-balanced.
