galley kitchens

Corridor-style cooking areas

A galley kitchen is a narrow corridor-style kitchen with counters and appliances along two parallel walls.

The design maximizes efficiency in tight spaces, common in apartments, small homes, and ships—where the term originates, since ship kitchens (galleys) occupy cramped quarters.

The galley kitchen felt cramped but kept everything within arm's reach.
