Great Ideas For Small Kitchens

Compact spaces can still be mighty, they just need some clever design ideas to make them practical and stylish

Pay attention to detail

The use of materials is key when designing a small kitchen. Light is the greatest tool to help a space feel bigger, so a staple for compact rooms is pure brilliant white. It’s devoid of all pigment which means it reflects back nearly all the light that hits it and lifts the room, while dark colours will absorb light.

Install floor-to-ceiling cabinets

Think vertically and continue your cabinets up to the ceiling, but plan your design carefully to ensure that the room still feels as open as possible. Storeless frequently used items in high cupboards.

Hide appliances in a cupboard

Free up surfaces by tucking the toaster, kettle and coffee machine away in a dedicated breakfast cupboard. As soon as you open up, your favourite morning gadgets are good to go. This is a nifty trick for making use of awkward corners and means none of your kitchen tech gets lost at the back of a cabinet.
