1 Breakfast bar
Ditch the bulky dining table for a streamlined option. Simply extend a counter top, choose a bar-height table or attach a drop-leaf to a wall for flexibility. Complete the look with stylish stools you can slide neatly underneath when not in use.
2 Task lighting
Focus your lighting on areas where you'll need extra visibility. Low-hanging pendant lights work well over tables for added intimacy. A wall light is perfect for illuminating kitchen worktops, or use under-cabinet lighting if you have wall cupboards.

3 Open storage
Walls crammed with cupboards can overwhelm a small space. Consider swapping wall cabinets for open shelving, stacked with pretty storage jars of dried ingredients and breakfast essentials, like tea or coffee, that you reach for every day.
Storage jars, from £5 each, all Garden Trading
