Designing a kitchen can feel challenging, especially in small city apartments. While most kitchens have the same basics—cooktops, countertops, and appliances—there are many ways to make the space uniquely yours.
In this article, we’ll share aesthetic and practical kitchen design ideas. Keep reading to also learn helpful tips for avoiding clutter in a small space.
Small Kitchen Ideas
Even in compact spaces, you can make your kitchen feel functional and stylish. Here are a few ideas to get the most out of your small kitchen:
Make the most out of your countertops
Multipurpose countertops can serve as cooking, washing, and dining areas all in one. Install shelves above the countertops instead of storing items on the surface. Open shelving creates a sense of space and keeps your kitchen feeling inviting.
Opt for smaller appliances
Smaller appliances, like a narrow electric cooktop from Goldline, reduce the cramped feeling in small kitchens. Goldline offers the narrowest gas and electric cooktops on the market. Minimising countertop appliances also helps the space look less cluttered.
Get creative with splashbacks
Splashbacks are an easy way to customise your kitchen and elevate its design. Consider mirrored tiles or shiny surfaces to reflect light, making the space feel larger and brighter.
Kitchen Island Ideas
A kitchen island can enhance both the functionality and style of your space. Most people place sinks on islands, but you can also install a cooktop to increase cooking space. If countertop space is limited, an island can serve as the main cooking area.
Alternatively, use a bar cart or small decorative table as an island to make the kitchen stand out. Adding barstools gives extra functionality. Another option is to use a dining table as an island—choose one with a similar shape, like a long rustic table, for a cohesive look.
Elevate Your Kitchen Design with a Goldline Cooktop
Even with a perfect layout, old appliances can make your kitchen look outdated. Swapping in a Goldline cooktop can instantly upgrade both style and function.
