When it comes to the decor of the kitchen, little has changed in recent years. Before having a perfect kitchen was, perhaps, more difficult than today. Today we know that small changes can make big differences. No need to buy or build heavy and expensive furniture and materials. The simpler your kitchen, the better.

Today on homify, we want to show you photos of a very small but super modern and spectacular kitchen. With appliances, furniture, art and modern design we hope that this kitchen will inspire you to remodel your own. Let's go take a look!

1. Ample storage space

Just because your kitchen is small doesn't mean you need less storage – you'll need just as much space as you did before. Be smart!

2. Combine furniture with contrasting colours

Why not double-up on colours to create a dynamic visual environment in your small kitchen? Tip: Stick with neutrals!

3. Comfortable and modern handles on doors and drawers

Bar handles are great for holding hand towels and food prep towels. Knobs are also much harder to grab in moments of panic and hurry as food preparations continue. These sleek and long bar handles are perfect for the look of this kitchen. 

4. Super-focused lighting

Focused lighting will help with food preparation and allow you to only turn on lights in certain areas of the kitchen.

5. Lighting even in the sockets

Add floor lighting for a special design addition.

6. Electric stove with glass lid

Gas stoves are usually preferred by those who like to cook – however, an electric stove is easier to cook with and much easier to clean and maintain.

7. Electric and vertical ovens and toasters

Keep appliances vertical to save on leg room!

8. Extraction art

Ventilation is important with small kitchens to avoid molding and mildew – an extractor fan is a worthy investment. 

9. Laundry room integrated with kitchen

This is a common occurrence in smaller homes – laundry and kitchens being combined. Opt for a single unit washing machine that doubles with a drying mechanism as well. 

10. Artful fittings also for the sink

If you're adding designer handles to your drawers and cupboards, make sure to follow through on the details with your sink hardware. 

11. Floors with practical, modern and functional ceramics

Why not add a heating mechanism to your ceramic floors to keep them super warm for cooking and food preparation during the winter months?

12. Good circulation and connection to the outside

In order to make sure your kitchen polished and finished, don't forget to use high-quality materials in your kitchen makeover. Especially with smaller kitchens, where less materials is needed, you can easily afford to stick with top materials!
