Small Kitchen Ideas

Having a small kitchen space can sometimes be a little frustrating. Little workspace and a small amount of cabinetry can cause clutter and reduce the working space you require for your everyday kitchen needs. At Marble and Quartz, we have put together a few ideas which will allow you to utilise your kitchen space and help to create the stunning kitchen that you have always wished for.

Go for a solid wood, granite or quartz worktop

Quartz, granite or solid worktops have the benefit of allowing you to install an undermount sink with integrated drainer grooves. It gives your kitchen a sleek finish and also provides a multi-functional surface space.

Install a hot water tap

This will allow you to lose the kettle and save some valuable surface space as well as letting you enjoy a cuppa on demand with no boiling time. The Franke Minerva 3 in 1 is a good choice.

Choose an integrated microwave

Integrated microwaves are a must to save space in a small kitchen. Not only does it make your kitchen look clean and modern but it frees up more surface space!

Go for tall wall units

Choosing taller wall units allows you to utilise and maximise wall space and storage without compromising style and design of your kitchen. Our Kuhlmaan range of kitchens offer a variety of tall unit designs and configurations suitable for any size kitchen.

Mix up materials

To create interest in a small kitchen, add all important style with worktop surfaces, cabinetry, lighting, colours, fixtures and flooring. Try to create a mix board with samples and swatches beforehand to get a visual idea. Using different tones of the same colour can help to unify a look.

Add some glass

One of the easiest ways to visually create the illusion of a large kitchen is to incorporate a glass splashback. Not only does it create the illusion of space but it also reflects and lightens up a kitchen.
