Small Kitchen Ideas Modern

Singular Shelf

Although his customers requested a bank of available shelving, designer Grant K. Gibson added one ledge for their galley kitchen. "One shelf is straightforward and dynamic," he says. "You have to have the ability to conceal clutter, also this way, you can rotate your own collections!"

Thick Ledge

While our 2017 Kitchen of the Year didn't skimp on space, San Francisco designer Jon de la Cruz used plenty of efficient secrets to max out the space. The chunky 11/4-inch-thick Caesarstone counter extends up the wall into the base of the window, making a place to get a soap dispenser (or wine glass).

Breakfast Counter

Justina Blakeney attached her Jungalow's dining and kitchen area with a adorable pass-through. Not only does it open up both chambers, but also the Silestone countertop adds a spot for a meal.

Matching Trim

In a 295-square-foot Brooklyn studio apartment designed by Nick Olsen, the kitchen corner, done in green and white to blend in, gets a helping of charm with grosgrain ribbon trim and a painted plaid backsplash, look more to website.

Glossy Lacquer

As soon as you decide what colour to go with, do not forget about the finish. A New York kitchen at a wine red from Fine Paints of Europe received a high-gloss coating which "helped the little space feel bigger," Nick Olsen states.

Subway Tile

To fake a sunny farmhouse kitchen at a Manhattan apartment, Celerie Kemble painted the cupboards Benjamin Moore's White Dove. The white-tiled walls, along with a chandelier and brass hardware, create the illusion of sunlight.

Wicker Furniture

A custom Holland & Company farm dining table in a Georgetown rowhouse does double-duty as a dinner place and work surface, whereas paneled appliances seamlessly blend in with the cabinetry in Benjamin Moore's White Dove. The illusion comes from the kind of seats that are woven from Baskets. Designer Sarah Bartholomew went to tie the space to the backyard that was adjacent, which makes the space feel airy instead of cramped.

Pot Rack

Bulky pans can take up valuable property, so Katie Ridder installed Urban Archaeology's Industrial pot stand at a Greenwich Village duplex. The tasteful barstools out of Cherner Chair Company are a 1958 design by Norman Cherner and so are padded in MK Collection's Summer Strié.

Copper Shelving

Working with only 72 square feet, Austin designer Kim Lewis opted for in-plain-sight storage. The shelving has hooks for hanging mugs, keeping the counter tops. With no dishwasher, a farmhouse sink may accommodate pans and pots.
