 The increasing demand for housing in ever growing cities has led to a deficit of space and smaller homes.

 The kitchen is one of the most frequently used areas of the home, so it’s important to get it right, but how do we make the most of a smaller kitchen space?

 There are many aspects we must take into consideration, for example, how the lighting will impact the feel of the room, and how best to organise a small space. There are other questions we could ask too, such as can we incorporate niches? Can the height be exploited? Can we increase the feeling of space with an open-plan design?

 In order to help answer the question of how to plan a small kitchen, we’ve put together a list of forty great ideas that you can use to draw a little inspiration.
