You can create a small but perfectly formed kitchen with a few clever tricks and specially-designed appliances – and there’s no need to break the bank.

Practical Tips for Small Kitchens

Here are some tips to help you make the best use of your space.

Organise your interiors

If you have got small drawers or cupboards, then you need to make every inch count. Consider investing in plate or pan racks, lid storage or spice racks. You can even add a level to your worktops with a kitchen riser.

Put your walls to work

Your kitchen wall can be turned into an efficient storage system. Add some hooks and pegs for mugs and pans, and you can hang stemmed glasses from underneath your eye-level cupboards.

Think sill-y

Make the most of your window sill by putting storage jars or baskets of dried pasta or fresh potted herbs on it.

Put your sink to good use

A sink cover is another great idea for saving space. It transforms the sink area into a chopping board and food preparation area, so it is a perfect solution when you are making a meal from scratch.

Wave goodbye to the washing machine

Does the washing machine really need to be in the kitchen? If you can, move it somewhere else – for example, a downstairs bathroom – it’s all the rage in Europe.

Space-saving appliances

When it comes to your kitchen appliances, bigger is not always the best. You can upgrade your appliances to smaller ones and give yourself a bit of extra breathing space. Modern space-saving appliances are very efficient and usually just as good as their full-sized siblings.
