Simple Design Ideas For Small Kitchens

Small kitchens are not exactly ideal and finding the right balance of function and style when decorating them can be truly challenging. But don t let this depress you. Instead of seeing all the things that go bad in a small kitchen, try to see the bright side and find a way to make the most of the space you have.

First, let s get one thing straight: all kitchens include lots of appliances, utensils, etc, no matter how small they are so if you want to keep the decor simple and minimal, then use bright colors. White would be a wonderful choice but if you prefer something else, use pale shades.

It would be wonderful if you could design a compact wall unit in which to integrate your major appliances such as the stove, hot plate, refrigerator, etc. try to make them all fit on one wall so you have more room for prepping food on the other side of the kitchen.

Instead of the usual round or rectangular tables which usually take plenty of floor space, consider having a thin counter mounted on a wall, like a bar. It would be much more efficient this way and would give more room to move around in the kitchen. It can even be an expandable table.
