Modern Small Kitchen Ideas

Thick Ledge

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

Dark Cabinetry

At a Manhattan apartment, the present kitchen cabinets were painted Benjamin Moore Aura in Black. "I wanted it to look less boring and more such as a intelligent butler's pantry," designer Lilly Bunn says. The Roman shade is in Holland & Sherry's Belfour linen.

Rolling Ladder

Adding additional storage up top is a great idea, if you can reach, that is. Katie Ridder installed a rolling ladder (just like the library!) Within this fantastic kitchen to access cabinets.

Singular Shelf

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

Stovetop Shelf

To enlarge a tiny kitchen in his San Francisco apartment, designer Scot Meacham Wood added extra shelves. The cabinetry is located in the Interior Semigloss in Scuba Black of Ralph Lauren Paint. The drapes are a Christopher Hyland plaid.
