9 Creative Small Kitchens to Get Inspired By
Don't let a tiny kitchen get you down.
These nine kitchens are proof you can have a small space that looks great and has plenty of room to tackle even the most ambitious meals.
1 /9 Jessica Alexander Galley Kitchen
Galley kitchens are known for their long, tight space, but that doesn’t have to be a negative thing. They can also be ultra-efficient. Take advantage of the tight quarters and easy access to the fridge and pantry with sleek built-in cabinets.
2 /9 Amber Thrane A-Frame Kitchen
A-Frame style homes are a favorite here at Sunset, but they can also be tricky to layout and style. Closet and cabinet space are often lacking, but open shelving can help add a little more space for essentials.
3 /9 Alison Wu A Minimalist Kitchen
Small kitchens typically have less counter space, so keeping just the essentials on display helps to clear up clutter and make more space for chopping and mixing.
4 /9 Vanessa Lentine Small Cabin Kitchen
No room for a dining area? Get more use out of your kitchen island by pulling up some sleek barstools.
5 /9 Eva Kosmos Flores Hang Your Most-Used Kitchen Implements
A hanging pot rack is a great way to reclaim space, while a simple bar attached to a cabinet can be a prime hangout spot for your whisks, tongs, strainers—you name it.
6 /9 Thomas J. Story Go Bright
Turn even the tiniest kitchen into a jewel box space by painting the cabinets a saturated hue. It’s a significant change that won’t take more than a weekend.
7 /9 Brad Knipstien Kitchen-Meets-Living Space
Airstreams are pretty cramped as it is, but adding light colors, warm wood elements, and cozy fabrics (like these pastel plush cushions) can help make a small space feel airier.
8 /9 Amy Bartlam Corner Kitchen
Don’t discount odd corners in your home, instead transform them into useful spaces like a sitting area, storage, or even a second sink.
9 /9 Liz Castellon Nelsen Closed-in Kitchen
Kitchens that are closed in can feel really confined, but adding bright overhead lights and minimizing top cabinets and shelves can make the space feel a little lighter and brighter.
