HOW TO THINK WHEN
FURNISHING A SMALL KITCHEN
OUR BEST TIPS FOR MAXIMIZING SPACE
A small kitchen can accommodate more than you think with smart solutions. By thinking outside the box, you can create a functional and airy feel without it feeling cramped. Below you will find inspiration for the small kitchen and our best tips to help you along the way.
FURNITURE FOR THE SMALL KITCHEN
When furnishing a small kitchen, it's important to think smart and choose solutions that maximize space without feeling cramped. Focus on furniture that is both practical and space-saving, so the kitchen becomes both functional and inviting.
Drop-leaf tables are a classic in small kitchens – they can easily be extended when you need extra table space but take up minimal space when folded down. A bar table with barstools or stools is another great option that utilizes height and frees up floor space, while also creating a pleasant seating area for quick meals or a coffee break.
A smaller round table is also a smart solution to maximize floor space and create an airy feel. A round table can easily become larger and oval by adding a leaf, conveniently and stylishly. If you choose stackable chairs, you can easily put them away when not in use and bring them out when needed. Extra seating is always good to have, especially when you have guests or unexpected visitors.
By choosing flexible furniture and thinking vertically, even the smallest kitchen can become both practical and stylish – without feeling cramped!

FIND STORAGE AND FURNISH SMARTLY IN A SMALL KITCHEN
Storage is a necessity whether you live in a large or small space, but in a small kitchen, it's important to think smart. Use the walls to maximize space. Practical wall shelves give the kitchen character while creating space for what you thought you lacked room for.
If you lack square meters but have height to work with, think vertically! A smaller bookshelf can be both a practical and stylish option for storing cookbooks, dishes, or spices. Many also forget the power of hooks and hook rails – they are perfect for hanging kitchen towels, pot holders, aprons, or even pots and pans.
When it comes to furnishing, it's important to create an open and airy impression. Place furniture along the walls to free up floor space and facilitate movement in the kitchen. By combining smart storage solutions with thoughtful furnishing, you can make even the smallest kitchen feel both spacious and functional.
MAKE THE KITCHEN FEEL LARGER
Do you want your kitchen to feel larger? Light colors and thoughtful lighting are simple tricks that make a big difference. Light walls and kitchen cabinets create an airy feel and give the illusion of more space – even if the area is the same. With the right color choices, smart storage, and a well-thought-out interior, you can make even the smallest kitchen feel larger and more inviting.
For a minimalist and airy feel, keep the countertops as clear as possible. Only leave essentials like a coffee maker, salt and pepper mills, or small pots of fresh herbs — both practical and decorative additions to the kitchen.
