- Take Advantage of Height. When we think of square footage, we tend to only consider how much room you have side-to-side. However, when it comes to kitchens, going vertical can be just as helpful for gaining extra storage.
- Add Playful Tile. In a small space, every design moment counts—and you should feel free to have fun with each! You may not have a lot of square footage to play around with, but that doesn’t mean the floor that is showing needs to be boring.
- Choose Fun Accessories. Cabinet space is at a premium in small kitchens, making your countertops a natural overflow zone. And, when you’re staring at your stuff all day, you’re going to want to make sure it’s pretty.
- Sneak in Storage. When it comes to making any small space functional, sneaking in storage wherever you can is essential. The thing is, that may not always look like traditional cabinetry.
No matter how small or big your apartment is, the right layout and equipment will turn your kitchen into a clutter-free and cozy space. Get inspired with our cool collection of apartment kitchens that are sleek and classy.

- Tap into your ceiling’s potential. If you’ve run out of wall and counter space, look up. Your ceiling is often untapped (and full of potential). Try a heavy-duty ceiling pot rack or create a DIY one like the owners of this small kitchen in Cape Town, South Africa, who fashioned a hanging bar.
- Store small appliances outside your cabinets. Don’t take up valuable counter real estate with bulky items like your toaster or microwave. Place them on a small kitchen cart to keep them handy, like this Washington Heights kitchen.
- Use every square inch of space — yes, all of it. The kitchen of this 300-square-foot London flat has no drawers. What to do? Take advantage of every single bit of available space — under the cabinets, the side of the range hood, above the backsplash.
- Maximize your backsplash. The backsplash is one of the most underutilized vertical spaces in the kitchen. Here, in the Montreal home of Marlène Deshaies, an additional shelf installed between the upper cabinets and the countertops makes room for an adorable collection of vintage dinnerware.
- Team different materials together for a modern look. Stop your apartment kitchen from looking dull or dated by mixing materials for added interest. Since the past year has forced us to adapt our kitchens to fit several different roles – versatility has taken on an entirely new meaning.
- Zone the kitchen area with a bold red. If you are looking for kitchen color ideas that will never date, a red kitchen is certainly one to consider. 'Apartment kitchens usually act as multi-functioning areas, so color zoning can be a simple solution to creating different spaces within one room,' says Patrick O'Donnell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball.

- Use the same floor in an open plan space. 'Space is usually at a premium in apartments, so making sure each room or zone feel spacious is important,’ says David Snazel, hard flooring buyer at Carpetright. '
- Let in the light with glass doors and a pale floor. 'A ground floor apartment kitchen may be lacking in natural light, to combat this use glass doors where possible and choose neutral colored cabinets and a pale stone floor,' says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief, Homes & Gardens.

We would like to start of journey into the world of small kitchens by altering the myth that only one color should be used in these limited spaces.

But this does not mean you entirely s...

Dark chalkboard walls c...
