DON’T LET A SKINNY SPACE BE A DEAL BREAKER OUR EXPERTS WILL HELP YOU AMPLIFY EVERY INCH WITH THEIR TOP TIPS

When puzzling over how to design a kitchen with narrow proportions, it's easy to focus all your attention on the practicalities. But while plotting ample storage and an ergonomic flow between cooker, sink and prep areas is important, it's often those space-boosting design tweaks that lead to the most successful small kitchens. 'I often recommend creating a focal point at the end of the room, perhaps with a small table, shallow display unit or a piece of statement artwork. This can work to bring the look together and distract unwanted attention away from any spatial restrictions,' says Kasia Piorko, founder of Kate Feather.
