Galley kitchen planner

Facing runs put different tasks within a short turn. The aisle between them has to work while cabinets and appliances are open.

Galley kitchen planner example, 400 by 280 centimetres, with labelled component positions
Illustrative plan in cm. Example dimensions; no doors, windows or site services have been assumed. Add your actual openings and fixtures in the editor.
01

Look at the aisle in use

A 280 cm room depth minus two 60 cm cabinet runs gives a 160 cm body-to-body gap. The example fridge is deeper than the base units, and its open door changes that gap again. Inspect those local conditions rather than treating one aisle number as a complete answer.

02

Separate wet work and storage

The starting plan places the sink, dishwasher and hob along one side, with the fridge, pantry and extra drawers opposite. This is an arrangement to test against your services. It may need to reverse if a door or plumbing connection fixes the sink to the other wall.

03

Check both ends of the route

A galley may connect two spaces or end at a wall. Place actual openings so the model reflects yours. Avoid positioning a commonly opened appliance where it interrupts the only route through the kitchen, and consider how two people would pass each other.

Questions before you start

Is 160 cm an approved aisle clearance?

No. It is the simple geometric gap in this particular example. Usage, access needs and appliance specifications require their own review.

Can I make one side shallower?

Yes. Edit cabinet depth or replace a run with shelving, then check whether the selected products actually come in those dimensions.

The front elevation

Review the main wall’s cabinet heights, appliance spaces and finish balance. Other walls are available in the editor.
