How to maximise your small kitchen

A small kitchen does not have to mean sacrificing style or functionality. It’s all about making the most of what you’ve got. Yes, you need to be organised and use space wisely, but creating a kitchen that really shines is possible with a few simple changes. Here are our top tips for making the most of the space.
1. Use a light colour palette
A light colour palette will provide the lift needed to update and open up the confines of a small kitchen. Shades of white will reflect light and make the room appear more spacious. Also consider your cabinetry, flooring, walls, benchtop and choice of splashback colour.
2. Incorporate floating shelves
Shelves are a great way to free up valuable bench space. They’re also an excellent place for you to add decorative items or cookbooks without cluttering the worktop. Overhead cabinetry is also a crucial way to create storage and means you can access equipment easily without bending down.
3. Add a tambour door
Tambour doors are a smart way to store appliances while freeing up bench space. They are a really versatile addition to the kitchen as they can open vertically or horizontally, depending on your needs. The side-opening tambour doors can be a helpful solution for a problematic corner! If you’re after a contemporary look, the tambour door can add to the design.
