Narrow Kitchen Ideas

We’re all familiar with a galley kitchen, but designing a long narrow kitchen can be tricky, especially with ever-changing family lifestyles.

To help you maximise the space in your long narrow kitchen we’ve put together some galley kitchen ideas that we’re confident will inspire.

The working triangle

Ashbourne Light Grey and Graphite

The working triangle is a tried and tested design layout that ensures everything you need in your kitchen is within easy reach.

To maximise usability, the kitchen triangle focuses on the three main work areas within your kitchen; the fridge, sink and hob area. Having these areas in easy reach will create a an easy workflow.

Handleless design

If you have a long narrow kitchen, the last thing you’ll want are protruding handles, which is why a handleless kitchen is a fantastic choice in a galley kitchen.

Our H Line Collection has a wide range of finishes and colours to ensure you can create a long narrow kitchen that oozes style and sophistication.

Kitchen storage

Within any kitchen, the kitchen storage you choose is essential and should work around your lifestyle.

At Masterclass Kitchens we have LineaPlus, which are the widest and deepest drawers on the market – they’re perfect for a long narrow kitchen.

Remove wall cabinets

Hardwick Scots Grey by Sigma 3 Kitchens in Esher

It can be difficult to imagine your next kitchen without wall cabinets, but they can often darken a space.

To lighten a long narrow kitchen opt for no wall cabinets and take more time choosing clever storage solutions in your base cabinets.

Choosing lighting

Lighting is essential in a long narrow kitchen.

One of the first things to consider is your natural light, as you don’t want any cabinets restricting any light coming through.

If natural light is at a shortage think about task lighting which emphasis your working spaces, these lights can be incorporated under your cabinets to add warmth.
