Galley layout — maximum efficiency per sq ft
The galley kitchen — two parallel walls of cabinetry and appliances — is statistically the most efficient layout per square foot. When optimised correctly, it creates the perfect work triangle and leaves zero dead space.
Position sink, hob, and fridge within 4–7 feet of each other to minimise unnecessary movement.
Extend storage to the ceiling to utilise the often wasted space above standard cabinets.
Replace fixed shelves with deep pull-outs giving you full access to everything inside.
Gloss finishes, glass fronts, and under-cabinet lighting create the illusion of a larger space.
