Use your cabinets

In small kitchen spaces, it's essential that there’s a place for everything, and everything is in its place. 

Create smart storage spaces

When it comes to kitchen ideas for small spaces, you should look into creating more storage spaces.

You can also use small storage boxes and organizers to group items neatly, making your kitchen look cleaner and more intentional. Truly, there are many ways to incorporate your storage into your design concept.

Keep things organized

Keep the clutter to a minimum and focus on organization when thinking about your small kitchen design ideas. If you’re going for a clutter-free, maxed mini kitchen, some good kitchen organization tips include keeping smaller appliances like toasters and coffee makers in designated hidden areas. You can also trim down your kitchen accessories to the necessities to avoid clutter.

Inject some personality

Play with small, but noticeable details

Storage options aside, there are other ways to make a kitchen feel larger. Play around with your wall colors and install mirrors on your kitchen walls to give the illusion of space. Invest in small and movable pieces like a foldable step ladder or a utility cart, such as RASKOG and NISSAFORS. These can help you around the kitchen without taking up too much space.

Share the warmth

If you’re looking for a cozy small kitchen design idea, try setting up a communal kitchen. Play around with the room’s layout or try an open-plan between the kitchen and the dining area. Make your kitchen more inviting for the family and share the warmth that every home-cooked meal provides.
