Small Kitchen Designs That Work!

No matter the size of your kitchen, if you’re looking to remodel, there’s plenty you can do even with a small space. Small kitchens, in fact, can prove to be most efficient and the limiting space can actually lead to a great deal of inspiration design-wise.

Speaking of innovative, notice that the photo above shows VELUX® SUN TUNNEL™ skylights bringing more natural light into the small kitchen space. In addition, if you look closely you'll see there is an induction cooktop on the small island, another small kitchen recommendation.

Tips for Making the Most of a Small Kitchen

What’s more frustrating than a cramped and cluttered kitchen? If even your love for cooking isn’t enough to make up for the lack of counter space and storage, leaving you rummaging through disorganized drawers and cabinets, we have solutions for you to help you maximize storage in your small space.

Choose quality over quantity

Quality cabinetry with specially selected storage accessories built-in to meet your specific needs puts everything you need within easy reach.

Carefully Selected Appliances

The small kitchen shown above has a gas stove, selected to fit the homeowners needs and preferences. 

However, when meeting the challenge of limited space, we also recommend an induction cooktop for both function and safety. This streamlined appliance is unobtrusive when you’re not cooking, making the best use of counter space, and as efficient as a traditional cooktop when preparing meals.

Storage & Organization Solutions

Especially in a small kitchen, the most important aspect is to consider what tasks you want to accomplish and what storage is needed to support those tasks – general cooking, specialty baking, storage of ingredients, storage of special small appliances, etc. The example above of Omega Cabinetry specialty storage features is one example of making the most of a limited space.

Schrock Cabinetry provides many unique and versatile storage solutions. For example, look at the pantry option below. It allows for far more storage than you would expect from a three-foot wide space!
