Just because your kitchen is small in size, doesn’t mean it has to lack the wow-factor. Over the years the Kitchen Design Team have worked on a number of small kitchens, turning them from something modest to something full of personality. Whether small or large, any kitchen can look great with the right interior design know-how. Discover exactly what techniques you should be implementing into your small kitchen in today’s designer-style led blog…
When picking your colour palette opt for something light and bright; this will give the illusion of a bigger space. Darker colours, on the other hand, close down a space and will make your kitchen seem smaller than it is.
Good lighting also plays a role here. While natural lighting from kitchen windows remains important, so does artificial lighting, such as under-cabinet lighting.
Reflective surfaces also make a space bright and airy, adding to the illusion of more space – so consider appliances with a reflective surface, or a modern, mirror backsplash.
Make the most of your space with furnishings that make use of your kitchen’s structure. Kitchen counter bars are great for those that don’t have enough room for a proper kitchen table as they offer space for both kitchen prep and eating.
Don’t forget to make use of the height of your kitchen too, using floating shelves for storage and hanging pots and pans overhead. Every inch of your wall space can be utilised for storage and style. Tactics like these not only save you cupboard space, they also add to the quirky design of your kitchen too.
Remove the bulk from your kitchen cupboards with the sleek handleless design. Elegant and modern in style, handleless designs increase usability in your kitchen and are easier to clean and maintain.
Smaller kitchens don’t always have the space for every new kitchen gadget – that’s why it pays to get appliances that can carry out a multitude of tasks. Innovative appliances, like those from Neff, often combine more that one functionality, allowing you to save on space.
Last, but not least, don’t forget to utilise the work triangle. Ideal for all types and sizes of kitchen, the magic triangle will ensure your kitchen is efficient, not just small.
If you’d like some help re-designing your modest kitchen space get in contact with the Kitchen Design Centre team today. At our designer kitchen showrooms you’ll find plenty of fantastic designs, some of which are particularly suited to smaller kitchen spaces. During your visit our interior design team will be more than happy to talk you through the designs and see what we can do to enhance your kitchen space.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

A CLASSIC SHAKER STYLE KITCHEN FOR A CHESHIRE
HOME
When Louise and Stuart renovated and extended their Wilmslow home they visited several local kitchen companies but were keen to get exactly what they wanted and researched companies with large showrooms located slightly further afield.
Kitchen Design Centre popped up on google and they were delighted to find that were open on a Sunday and that being located at Housing Units Failsworth, they were only a 20-minute drive away.
They were amazed by the showroom and how many full-size displays there were. They were equally impressed with Designer Paul Harrington who spent a great deal of time listening to what they wanted and going through various options and designs with them.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.
With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
