Whether you’re planning a new kitchen from scratch, semi-renovating what’s already there, or just looking for ideas to boost a space you aren’t in a position to change, this bumper Ideabook should provide plenty of inspiration.
1 Look up
Vertical panelling – or, indeed, tile grout lines or a wallpaper pattern – can trick the eye into seeing a far taller space than is, in fact, there. Here, long handles echo and enhance the effect.

2 Introduce a small table
You may not have the space for a roomy dining table, but could you squeeze in an airy perch for one, or a bijou lunch location for two? Go for something ergonomically round, and pick designs (for tables and chairs) that block the least amount of light, so as to increase the luxurious sense of space.

3 Pick three colours…
…and ruthlessly stick to them. A strict palette will help your little kitchen to look pulled-together, streamlined and well-ordered.

4 Break architectural conventions
It would be easy to look at that lovely, huge window, with its frame almost touching the back wall, and write off that sliver of vertical space at the far end of the right-hand wall, bowing down to the room’s architecture. But look how much storage a little design bravery got these homeowners – and the window is none the worse for hosting such handsome shelves!

5 Enhance with an accent
With its blurred lines, a one-hue space will certainly appear bigger, but if that leaves you yearning for colour, get it in with a bold accent. Keep lines slim so it flashes rather than dominates.

6 Reflect beauty
Hurrah for glass-fronted wall cupboards and their light-bouncing, space-enhancing ways! Add gloss wall tiles, too, and you’ll double the effect.

7 Add the luxury touch
Let your small kitchen big itself up: a luxury touch will give it grandeur beyond its dimensions. Here, that luxe doesn’t even cost the earth – the ‘marble’ splashback is, in fact, porcelain tiles. Add an on-trend, burnished brass tap to take the idea further still.

8 Put windows to work
No wall space for a pot-hanging rack? If you have a wooden sash window, then, with a few nails or screw-in hooks, you’ve found that missing space.

9 Pause before you box in
Is that a wall of dead space next to the oven or the opportunity for a cunning niche? Ditto the sneaky open storage on the outside of the pretty peninsular. Where there’s a wall, there’s a way (sorry about that…).

10 Think outside the drawer
A cutlery drawer may well be a luxury you can’t justify in a teeny kitchen. If so, look at other options: this clever pull-out storage for utensils makes use of a slim gap between units.

11 Turn on the heavy metal
In a similar way to glass or mirror on a wall, metallics bounce light around – and add the sort of larger-than-life, decadent glamour one might not expect in such compact surrounds.

12 Incorporate ends
The end of an island, a peninsular (as here) or even a run of cupboards can be put to use. If there’s space inside, build in shelves for kitchen clutter (hidden in attractive baskets, of course) and recipe books. If there’s only external space, you have a prime hanging spot – using hooks or a rail – for tea towels, pots, pans, utensils or even half-read newspapers or books.

13 Divide and conquer
In an open-plan kitchen/living space, the risk is that you’ll spend long evenings gazing at the dishes you aren’t intending to wash-up until the morning. Hide them away with a raised wall behind your worktop; it’ll double as a splashback, too (especially good when there’s a sofa directly below on the other side!).

14 Install a slimline ‘island’
No room for a ‘proper’ island? A butcher’s block could be the answer. OK, so it might not quite provide the breakfast bar of your dreams, but it’s a rustically stylish way to introduce some invaluable extra workspace into a compact kitchen.

15 Slide into a wall
Larder units usually feature as part of a run of cupboards in a fitted kitchen. But if you have dead space on the other side of part of your wall, make use of it with a capacious beauty like this.

16 Store round the bend
An extra-wide worktop here has created a useful peninsular unit – and allowed space for open storage. The shallow spot at the end of this peninsular could easily have been overlooked, but it’s just the right depth for glasses and paperbacks.
Painting the storage in an open-plan kitchen/living space, as here, can help to tie the two zones together.

17 Love your wall space
More drawer or cupboard space isn’t always the answer. With just a half-day of DIY and a collection of rails, hooks, pots, baskets, magnets and racks, a blank wall can be transformed into a storage powerhouse. A painted pegboard is a good multi-functional alternative.

18 Pull it out
Tight on prep space? This pull-out chopping board is a bespoke worktop solution, but you could also consider a false top drawer that slides out to reveal a board. Or, if you’re handy and resourceful, you could even DIY a ready-made board by mounting it onto drawer runners.

19 Frame it
Just as pans can be hung successfully across the middle of a window, so too can shelves be erected. Continuing them out along a wide expanse of wall, as here, stops them looking bitty (and packs in even more storage!).

20 Put it in a cupboard
To keep a compact kitchen/living space feeling like somewhere you can relax when the cooking is over, a one-wall layout, tucked behind folding doors, is a winner.

21 Merge your worktop and kitchen table
A moveable table could easily do the trick, too, but that sleek flow works a treat. It’s another bespoke solution, but one that really increases the streamlined sense of this small space.

22 Pack in more seating…
…with a built-in bench. If you aren’t in the market for going bespoke, and eclectic-utilitarian is your style, try buffing up and trimming some old scaffolding boards and perching them across sturdy plastic drinks crates in a colour that works with your scheme. Add height – and softness – with stylishly covered bedroom pillows or long cushions.

23 Tuck in a big table
A generously proportioned kitchen table is a big room luxury, right? Not necessarily… This table could have been considered too large for this under-the-eaves cook space, but because there are only chairs on the ends, there’s enough room to use the one-wall kitchen.
You could either tuck stools underneath to pull out for extra dinner guests, or hang a pair of attractive folding chairs on a nearby patch of empty wall.

24 Scale down…
…your appliances, that is. This wee New York studio flat cleverly turns convention on its head, with half-size gadgets ingeniously positioned. Seek out small versions of everything you’ll need, and ask your kitchen designer for advice on smart ways to fit them in.

25 Try a trolley
Wine bottles cluttering up your worktop? Turn them into a feature by adding a bar trolley if you have a sliver of unused space. Look out for compact designs, and consider using the bottom part of the trolley to store something different.

26 Feel free
This portable gas cylinder stove, mounted on a professional-style stainless-steel trolley, is perfect for spaces that need to remain flexible. This utilitarian set-up, could conveniently be wheeled out of the way to make space for a fold-out occasional dining table, for example.

27 Smooth out lines
Minimise horizontal lines to visually stretch your little kitchen vertically (great if you also have a low ceiling). If you’re starting from scratch, consider hiding drawers and daily clutter behind two smooth, tall, painted doors.

28 Go for a white-out
When you don’t want your kitchen to dominate your open-plan space, giving it the all-white treatment will help it to ‘vanish’ into the background. Thin-plank, light-bouncing polished wooden boards running lengthways stretch the room generally, while also adding warmth – and a dash of Scandi chic.

29 Set it back
This slickly designed small kitchen feels spacious particularly because of the clever placement of the units. White walls and pale flooring help the base cabinets to melt into the background, while the dark tiling above creates depth, and setting the tall, wooden-fronted wall cupboards into the recess keep them from ‘intruding’ into the space. Smart.

30 Love low lighting
A table lamp is always a cosy touch for a kitchen worktop, but there isn’t always space. Check out this cool alternative: a low-slung bare filament bulb over the breakfast nook. Nice.

31 Hang it all
It’s not only utensils, pans, spices and tea towels that can work with wall-hung storage. A lack of workspace is often the most noticeable thing in a small kitchen, so forget having fruit or vegetable bowls cluttering up your worktop: wall-hung baskets are your friends.
Think, too, about how to free up that work surface from other classic culprits: could the radio go on a shelf? Will the toaster fit inside a drawer when not in use? And if you’re not spiralizing daily, hide that gadget in a cupboard.

32 Let it flow
When a kitchen is as closely connected to a sitting room as this one is, take as much care with the décor and accessorising as you would in the living space. Artwork, glamorous lighting, complementary colours and flooring that flows seamlessly will all help the rooms to work with, rather than against, one another.

33 Multi-task
Is it a worktop or a breakfast bar? Brilliantly, it’s both. Note, too, the stylish overhead pendant, adding gravitas to this teeny dining spot.

34 Nab a niche
Recessed shelving – in a wall niche, as here – is the friend of many a small space, as it removes bulky protrusions from your limited work area. The curved end cabinet on the right also gives an impression of increased space, rather than chopping it up with sharp corners.

35 Ramp up cosiness
Characterful wall lamps, rather than overhead spots, create soft pools of light that ramp up the cosy feel of a small space. Choose adjustable versions so they double as task lighting.

36 Never say never to an island
You may not have the space for a conventional island, but this weeny, bespoke unit adds plenty of practicality to this compact kitchen.

37 Get around
A circular table can be brilliantly space-saving in a compact kitchen. Curved end units may also be worth considering; corners, whether on tables or worktops and cupboards, can butt into the flow of a small room.

38 Streamline with trickery
Extend your wall storage by adding shelving to fill a non-standard-size gap at the end of a run of wall units – but don’t let this create visual clutter in an already packed kitchen.
Instead, as seen here, you can add a panel at the front that matches your cupboards – effectively a false cupboard door – and the streamlined effect of your sleek wall units will continue. The same idea will also work for base units.
If your fitter is game, you could potentially also turn the open shelving into concealed storage instead; this will depend on the panel sizes available and the material your door fronts are made from (cutting laminates can result in messy edges), so get professional advice on what may be possible.

39 Carve out a cube
Even in an open-plan room smaller than this one, there’s no need to tuck your kitchen into a corner. Might you gain more space by creating a stand-alone open box for it, in the centre of your living space, as seen in this Paris cuisine. With clever planning, it could create more storage, and become a more sociable spot.

40 Go round the bend
The biggest investment in this titchy kitchen was almost certainly the bespoke curved worktop, but the space created by this one design decision was surely worth it.

41 Extend an end
No room for a breakfast bar? Are you sure? A simple worktop overhang has the potential to fit in the teeniest of spaces, providing a neat eating spot for two.

42 Boost your wall units
Depending on the type of cooker hood you have, there may be storage – or simply dead – space above it. Here, the homeowners have added a built-in cupboard topped by open shelves for cookbooks just where you want them. The neat shelves under the cupboards either side, for condiments, spices and mugs, are a smart touch, too.
To create even more wall space in a small kitchen, extend storage right up to the ceiling.

43 Try two-layer drawers
Deep drawers aren’t always used to their full capacity. This nifty idea – a slide-across top layer for cutlery and smaller cooking utensils – makes sure no inch goes unused.

44 Add drawers to your breakfast bar
Boost the purpose of an eating or coffee-drinking nook by fitting drawers beneath it. They’ll make a handy storage space for easy-to-reach cutlery, napkins, serving utensils and so on.
Alternatively, if your nook doubles as a workspace, they’ll provide somewhere to tidy away a laptop and work paraphernalia at the end of the day.

45 Make your furniture foldable
Only have time for a table and chairs when you’re actually using them? Folding versions are a brilliant solution. Choose them in bright colours or nice wood tones and they’ll double up as decorative accessories if you hang them on wall hooks when not in use.
Garden furniture suits the purpose perfectly – it can also be much cheaper than indoor furniture.

46 Pop in a pull-out desk
The simplicity of this micro desk is the secret of its design success. It’s essentially a chunky drawer-style design, but without the front or side panels.
When the working day is done, simply push it in, with all your bits and pieces in place, ready for tomorrow.
If you prefer to keep everything out of sight, try the same idea, but with a hinged drawer front. It would need some ingenuity, so speak to an experienced joiner for ideas and to get it built well, as it will need to be sturdy, too.

47 Install a breakfast bar larder
Here’s another spot for a pull-out larder (and wine rack). This tiny dining spot packs in plenty of functionality, with seating for four, as well as the storage. Don’t forget to position a couple of power points nearby, which will help to make such a space even more versatile.

48 Elevate glass-fronted storage
This attractive, raised-height, built-in cabinet for glasses doubles as a shield for worktop debris – meaning the chef can conceal any mess from guests sitting on the other side.
It’s also super handy to have glasses stored right next to the dining table.

49 Build around
Got an awkward pipe or architectural detail right where you want to put a cupboard? Don’t let it stop you! This kitchen simply incorporates the vertical pipe against its back wall, meaning no loss of wall units, simply the loss of the small area where the pipe sticks out. Looks good, too.

50 Be canny with cupboards
What happens above your fridge-freezer? It’s easy to pile boxes, vases, once-used juicers and more on top of this kitchen appliance, but it can look messy. So why not formalise this storage spot (and tidy it up) by fitting a closed cupboard above it?
Unless you’re very tall, a small set of kitchen steps will encourage you to use it, too.
Cupboard storage also fits beautifully beneath the island in this kitchen.

Lots of these have open shelving, unless you love cleaning it's a nightmare in the kitchen!
I've probably broken all the colour rules here but making a cuppa has never been more uplifting now my teeny kitchen has gone all psychedelic! Thanks to new handles, an array of Valspar tester pots and a lot of lockdown time on my hands, I did this on the cheap, until such time I can totally gut it and completely renovate it...
Simply inspiring!
