Two-Run Galley Kitchen with Tall Storage

This finished narrow kitchen is arranged as two facing worktop runs. The sink and a preparation surface occupy one side; the cooking run sits opposite. At the end, a full-height cabinet wall collects storage and appliance space without blocking the central route visible between the runs.

A blue-veined splashback draws the eye along the compact layout, and pale stone-look worktops visually continue around the fitted cabinets. Taupe fronts keep the larger cabinet surfaces quieter. This contrast helps distinguish the preparation side from the more prominent splashback and appliance wall.

Facing worktops make the central aisle a shared working space: someone at the sink may turn toward the cooking run, while tall storage is reached at the far end. In another narrow kitchen, mark the appliance doors and drawer pulls on both sides before fixing cabinet depths. The blue-veined splashback can remain the one strong visual accent against quiet taupe fronts; worktop material should be selected for the new kitchen's use rather than assumed from the pattern seen here.

The facing sink and cooking runs have 304 stainless steel cabinet bodies, while the continuous work surfaces and door finishes are separate specifications.
