For our latest lookbook, we've rounded up 14 galley designs by architects and designers that create space-saving and efficient kitchens.
A galley kitchen features two parallel rows of units separated by a passage. It is named after the food preparation area on ships, which are traditionally narrow, cramped spaces called galleys.
Galley layouts are often when space is limited since they offer a high proportion of storage and preparation surfaces compared to circulation space, or when the kitchen area is long and narrow.
They are also efficient since the cook can quickly and easily move between tasks.
They are one of the most popular kitchen layouts. The basic galley layout can be expanded by the addition of an island between the two runs of units. This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous kitchen-related posts include compact kitchens, breakfast bars, terrazzo kitchens and kitchens with islands.

Sacha, France, by SABO Project
The kitchen in this Parisian apartment is a hybrid of two popular layouts, being part galley and part one-wall.
A counter runs the length of the kitchen diner and features a galley area at one end, where a wall-mounted oven and a refrigerator are housed in full-height units. The entire kitchen features birch plywood cabinetry.
