We all have to deal with the reality of shrinking apartments, but if you think of that as an obstacle to creating your perfect kitchen then we're going to show you some projects that will turn that perception around. In fact small kitchens have all kinds of benefits, prime among them being they are just so convenient. And while you may think that limited storage space and preparation areas are an inevitable outcome of having a small kitchen, with a little creativity and innovation, inspired of course by the fantastic experts here at homify, you'll see there's a solution for everything!

There's all sorts of ways to make the most of your small kitchen, such as practical storage ideas that make your life easier, or clever design tricks that change your perception of the space, and after you see these projects you're going to want to rethink your whole approach. So put down the drawing board for now, and let's take a look!

1. A hidden kitchen

This is a really unique idea; the entire kitchen is contained within a giant pantry! This way you can simply close the doors, and the kitchen disappears, making the rest of your home feel much larger than it is due to the lack of visual distractions. This is also a masterclass in arrangement, with the space carefully measured to make the most of every inch! Talk to a kitchen planner to see if something like this might work in your home!

2. Long and narrow

Because of the way modern apartments are subdivided, kitchens often end up relegated to the far end of the home, where they take up as little space as possible. This results in narrow kitchens like this, but as you see here they can still look fantastic. This kitchen uses it's length as a strength, with one side of the room used for preparation and storage, while a breakfast bar has been installed on the other side. The combination of hardwood and pastel yellow gives this room a warm cosy feel that makes it feel quaint and homely.

3.Trendy and cute

This kitchen is designed to look just like a family bistro, with adorable decorations, and a fantastic breakfast bar. The use of grey shows that a neutral colour palette can be just as fun as more vibrant colour choices, with the textured wall above the kitchen counter giving the decor depth and character, while the light timber of the shaker cabinets matches the floor, and lightens the room up.

4. Black and white

This super sleek and modern kitchen uses flat panel cabinets to completely eliminate visual clutter, with the stark contrast of black and white making a bold statement that looks amazing. We love the timber shelf built into the top left cabinet, it softens the aesthetic, especially with the flowers, and provides an interesting counterpoint to the futuristic style of the decor. Between its practicality and impeccable taste this may just be the perfect tiny kitchen!

5. Vintage charm

This beautiful kitchen takes its inspiration from the fifties, with a chequered floor, a bright pink vintage refrigerator, and shiny white tile walls. With an open plan living area typical of modern apartments the kitchen has been functionally separated by the tiles on the floor, and a breakfast bar that marks the boundary – always a better idea than closing it off with a wall, which only serves to make every room feel smaller and more claustrophobic.

6. Pure white

Another open plan flat, but this time a completely different approach, the only thing marking the kitchen here is the use of pure white cabinets and shelves. Even in a tiny studio apartment there's still plenty of room for a kitchen you can comfortably move around in, you just have to integrate it with the rest of the home!

7. Around the corner

Probably one of the most common and space efficient layouts for small kitchens is the L shape, with the kitchen taking out an entire corner of the room. This way you can have the stove at one end, the sink at the other, and plenty of preparation space in between. We love the simple black and white cabinets, with the aquatic blue on the back wall giving the neutral base a burst of colour. You'll also notice a folding table on the wall, a great way to fit furniture into a tiny room like this!

These fantastic projects just go to show it's not the size of the kitchen, but how you use it! For more great kitchen tips check out this article on ideas that have never occurred to you!
