Just because you have a small kitchen does not mean that it cannot be fabulous. All you need to do is to put some thought into how you can best use the space available. If you are challenged for kitchen space, consider using the services of a designer. They will help you think through the different ways you can use your kitchen and make sure you avoid common blunders. Choose a colour scheme that is light and bright. Clever lighting, glass and mirrors can also create the illusion of more space. Avoid clashing colours and too much pattern as these only tend to work in larger spaces which can carry off bolder designs. When it comes to the small kitchen, storage space much also be a top priority. Increasing the height of your kitchen units will provide you with that vital bit of extra space. The standard kitchen unit height in the UK is 720mm but it is possible to get up to 900mm from some retailers. Likewise, you can also reduce the plinth to avoid wasted space. Shop around for space-saving kitchen appliances. For example, a Neff Oven with a slide away door is ideal if you dont have the room for a conventional oven door. You will probably not have room for a kitchen island but that doesnt mean to say you cannot compromise. Maybe you can include a breakfast bar or a pull out table solution instead.
