Galley Kitchen Design Ideas And Photos
Galley kitchens are the ones where all working areas are next to each other, have less storage space and require lot of movement.
Two-way galley kitchens provides for storage space below the worktop, cupboards are placed on the opposite wall for easy access to minimize walking movements, is more compact and must have enough between the two galleys to avoid bumping.
A galley kitchen can be as long as you want. You will just need to divide the kitchen into different work sites. The best width for a galley kitchen is 7 to 12 feet. Kitchens over 10-feet wide can utilize the U-shaped kitchen layout.
Two Types of Corridor-Style Kitchen Designs
1. Walls on Both Sides – With this type of kitchen space, you have a tight space with walls on either side. The kitchen is essentially shoehorned into this space.
2. Kitchen Island or Peninsula – When you have a wall on one side and an open space (like a living room) on the other side. On the open side, a kitchen island or peninsula of cabinets and countertop forms a wall between the kitchen and the open space.

They can be anything really and in essence the whole color world is your oyster, but people have different ideas on what are suitable colors for a kitchen.
You have several areas of the kitchen that you need to coordinate when you paint or remodel. You certainly don’t have to make everything the same color, but it is best to have all of the colors complement each other, rather than clash. A color scheme of two or three colors will work well. The biggest area of color in your kitchen will be the walls and ceiling. These will be your primary color that everything else will coordinate with. If you’re painting the walls a dark color, you may want to leave the ceiling white, which will help to keep the room from feeling too small. The cabinets, if you choose paint over a wood finish should contrast with the walls, but at the same time, not clash with them. Once you have your walls and cabinets painted, then you can choose another color which goes with the first two to use for trim and accents.
