This little kitchen features several shades of grey, which are paired with light, wooden kitchen counter tops and shelves. This makes for a stylish, country design that is as charming as it is subtle.

2. Interconnected spaces

In order to make a kitchen seem that much more spacious and expansive, opt for an open plan design where the kitchen, dining room and living area flow into one another.

Also opt for clean, white tones, which will make the kitchen seem more light and bright and thus that much bigger.

3. Industrial chic

Introduce different textures and tones into your kitchen by adopting an industrial-chic look and feel. Opt for an exposed brick wall, like the designers have done here. Do you see how beautifully it contrasts with the smooth surfaces?

4. Or add stone to the kitchen

In this image, we can see how stone cladding also adds an earthy look and feel to the kitchen space, breaking up the textures and tones.

5. Bold colours

If you want to draw attention away from the size of your kitchen, opt for bright and bold colours in your kitchen that give it some refreshing energy and vitality. Do you see how well yellow works in the kitchen space?

6. A kitchen bar

Subtly separate your kitchen from the rest of the living space by installing a breakfast bar in this area. This will not only give your kitchen extra storage space as well as extra surface space, but it will give you a more casual meeting area where you can catch up with family and friends.

7. White and black tones

This black and white kitchen shows just how striking and appealing these tones can look when used together.

8. It's all about the lighting

If you have a smaller kitchen, make sure that it gets plenty of natural light. Opt for large glass windows and doors as well as skylights if possible.

You should also invest in some drop down lamps, giving your kitchen area a lovely soft glow in the evenings.

9. White with a touch of red and green

Some plants or flowers can add truly enhance your kitchen, connecting it with nature. It also creates a wonderful balance between more natural and rustic tones and very modern and contemporary designs. 

10. Do something gorgeous with the walls

If you really want to distract from the size of the kitchen, do something creative and innovative with the walls. The designers have painted these walls black, which has turned it into a blackboard. This is a great tool for writing down recipes, shopping lists or even your favourite inspirational quotes!

11. An outdoor kitchen

If you don't have too much space inside your home, why not build an outdoor kitchen?
