Small kitchens are often thought to be a bit of an inconvenience, not allowing enough space for truly getting creative in the kitchen.
However, today we are going to explore five small and fashionable kitchens from top professionals from around the world and show you just how savvy and sleek a compact kitchen can be. You'll immediately find that a kitchen area doesn't need to be expansive or large to look gorgeous and remain functional.
As we all know, the kitchen is the heart and soul of the home. It's where the family come together to talk about their days, share stories and break bread together. Even if a kitchen is small, it should still tick all of these boxes.

This design by Stylekoubou is quite unusual because the kitchen is in the middle of the house rather than in a corner, which is what we usually find.
The designers have achieved a feeling of spaciousness by opting for a kitchen that features wooden elements, which match wooden elements throughout the rest of the home. This uniform design is very modern and sophisticated, keeping the areas of the home well connected.
The high wall around the kitchen keeps it slightly separate however, ensuring that the chef has their own space to create their culinary delights.
Another way to create a very fashionable small kitchen is to choose colours, tones and accessories that are chic and stylish, bringing a very edgy look and feel to the space.
In this design, we can see how the pastel green work in harmony with wood and the tiled floors. The result is a charming, country-style kitchen that looks exceptionally inviting. The island is a show-stopper!
An all-white kitchen is a timeless design that works incredibly well if there is natural light flowing into the room.
