If you are fitting your kitchen yourself here's some helpful advise
Take accurate measurements, and take into account where your pipes,
gas, electrical supplies are.
Make sure you know the sizes of your appliances.
Position the sink and dishwasher close together in order to make the
plumbing easier.
Have a drawer unit close to the hob so that you easy access to any
utensils.
Read through the instructions of your appliances before you decide
where to place them.
Do not situate your cooker below any windows.
Check which way doors and drawers open in order for them to open
fully.
Any tall units should be placed next to each other; tall units usually
go at the end of a line of cupboards.
Position cupboards so that they are easily accessible.
It is always best to use a qualified tradesman for installation of any
gas or electrical objects.
Having an extractor fan requires access to an external wall, unless
you wish to recycle.

helpful advise on design
The narrowest of kitchens can work
well and look spacious, despite its proportions – just stick to a few
basic design rules...
Unit-free walls
Narrow rooms benefit from not having wall units, which just make them
feel more cramped. Instead, put up glass shelving or paint shelves to
match walls.
Fit flat fronts
In the narrowest of spaces, detail-free doors will simplify the space
and help it feel wider. Add to that impression by choosing a reflective
finish – this also helps to widen a narrow room.
Keep floors simple
Matching the tones of the floor tiles to those of the unit doors, and
laying them lengthways across the kitchen, widens the room visually. To
hieghten space, avoid patterned tiles or checkered effects.
Hide appliances
It’s worth buying integrated appliances for small kitchens – they’re
more expensive, but the effect is a streamlined space that is easier on
the eye. If they must be on show, choose just the one finish – ideally
stainless steel – and ensure they’re pretty.
Find a focal point
Every room needs a focal point, and a galley kitchen is no exception –
fit a fabulous showpiece, such as a range cooker, and the eye will be
drawn to that and not to the narrow confines of the walls.
Make worktops work
Small kitchens will always be more successful with lighter coloured
worktops, and it’s a good idea to avoid finishes with pattern or
detailing in them, too.
