Small Kitchen Designs

Small Kitchen Designs

Many of us don’t have a large kitchen, especially with the smaller designs of modern homes. However, you can still have a luxury kitchen.

Maximize Your Workspace

Utilize your space effectively. U-shape kitchen designs work well in small kitchens, providing ergonomic layouts and hidden storage.

Consider L-Shaped Kitchen Designs

L-shaped kitchens are great for small spaces. Place the oven and hob on one side and the sink on the other. If space allows, extend the worktop to create a breakfast bar with stools.

Explore Galley Kitchen Design

Galley kitchens are ideal for long, narrow spaces. In double galleys, place the sink opposite the oven and hob. In single galleys, keep a good length of workspace between them.

Outline Your Workspace

Organize your kitchen into zones for preparation, cooking, and washing. In small kitchens, double up spaces. For example, a glass hob can also serve as a workspace.

Create a List

Walk around your kitchen and note how you currently use it. List your ideal layout, considering appliances, the sink area, storage, and workspace. Visit our kitchen showroom tooled with ideas that work for you

Choose Appliances Carefully

Select space-saving appliances. Built-in ovens in vertical columns save space. Consider compact ovens, microwaves, steam ovens, coffee machines, and wine coolers. Slimline dishwashers and linear hobs are also great options. We have a number of displays in our showroom with a selection of appliances to help with narrowing down your choices.

Clear the Clutter

Keep worktops clutter-free by only placing essential items on the surface. Flush-fit sinks and hobs create a seamless finish, making the room appear larger.

Space-Saving Storage in small kitchens

Avoid packing too many units into the room. Use clever storage solutions like larders and magic corners. Open shelving in alcoves is perfect for cookbooks and display items.

Illuminating Ideas a must in small kitchen designs

Good lighting illuminates dark spots and provides task lighting for worktops. Feature lights can highlight open shelving and glass-fronted cabinets.

When it comes to small kitchen design keep it simple

Less is more. Clear out unused items and maintain a consistent décor. High gloss handleless cabinets, pale flooring, and a neutral color scheme will make the room appear larger and brighter.
