Less Is More! 12 Small Kitchen Ideas for a Quick Makeover

Fold down your dining table

Let’s take the example of a tiny Parisian kitchen made by Space Factor, where we have a custom-built fold-down wood table that establishes a great dining area.

You can easily hide it if you don’t use it, which will allow you to access more space. The black wood cabinetry and a textured concrete wall finish will give the space an uncluttered atmosphere, which is exactly what we want.

Peek inside your looking glass

Combine mixed wood finish cabinetry that will give texture and a more minimalist style, and a layout that will allow the space to feel modern. Also, a large window to the outside would brighten up the space, especially next to an atelier-style interior window right above the sink, that will give you a look into the main entryway.

It’s such a smart way to maximize the light in your kitchen, but also create sightlines in a tiny space that will help preserve a sense of openness.

    like the configuration here, kind of fits in my back wall space. sometimes not sure about open shelves but may work depending on your needs. If you also want an island and the back wall of cabinets maybe a sliding island that fits under the back wall cabinet would work out. It’s imperative you only have what you need to work with before you do any new cabinets or shelves. A kitchen full of items you don’t use will cost you in the end. When a restaurant or any fast place is made they design according to menu and necessary equipment. Some people love to bake and others basics like coffee toast and dinner on the stove. micro and air fryer. Design around your needs.
