A galley kitchen is a narrow, efficient kitchen layout that features two parallel countertops with a walkway in between. This design maximizes space and is often found in smaller homes, apartments, or boats. The layout allows for easy movement and access to essential kitchen appliances and storage. Typically, a galley kitchen includes cabinets, stovetops, ovens, and sinks arranged along the walls. This configuration promotes an efficient workflow, often referred to as the "kitchen work triangle," which connects the refrigerator, sink, and stove for optimal cooking efficiency.
