Introductions:
While not everyone has a large kitchen, this does not mean you have to compromise design or utility. Small kitchens can be just as efficient — and even more appealing — with careful design and inventive ideas than bigger ones. These little kitchen ideas can maximise your space whether your residence is a modest house or an apartment.

Install tall cabinets or open shelves reaching the ceiling to use vertical storage. Keep fewer utilised goods on the top shelves.Perfect for storing canned foods and spices, a sleek, slide-out pantry uses little space. To create counter space, hang cutlery, mugs, even little pots beneath cabinets.
Use stools that tuck under the counter, wall-mounted breakfast bars, or foldable tables for multifarious purposes. Choose smaller, space-saving models of stoves, dishwashers, or refrigerators that nevertheless get the job done.
Design Concepts to Give Small Kitchens Greater Grandeur Whites, creams, and light greys reflect light and enlarge and brighten your kitchen. A mirror or glossy tile backsplash gives depth and a feeling of transparency.
