- 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.

- 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.

- Don't clutter up the sides. @mari.lebaron. ♬ All Of The Girls You Loved Before - Taylor Swift. Having a small kitchen can mean clutter can build up real fast.
- Go for floating shelving. One of my top tips when decorating in a small space, such as an apartment, is to make the most out of vertical space. When you’ve not got a lot of square footage, using floating shelves is a great way to add extra storage.
