110 best small kitchen design ideas + complete design guide

Small kitchen layout

The layout of the furniture will depend on the shape of the room. Let's consider which headset configuration is best to choose and how to arrange it correctly.

Square

Small square kitchen about 5 or 6 sq.m. - a common case in typical old houses built during the USSR (Khrushchev, Brezhnev). A corner layout of the headset would be ideal. This will allow you to place all the necessary equipment, leave enough space for the working surface and form the correct working triangle. To rationally use the corner module, install rotating shelves in the form of a carousel or pull-out sections in the cabinet.

In the opposite corner there will be space for a dining area.

A small straight kitchen looks visually lighter in the interior, but from a storage point of view it is less practical.

A square table is suitable if you need to place no more than two people at the table; it can be placed close to the corner. For three or more people, it is better to choose a round or rectangular table.

Less commonly you can find a U-shaped layout. It is appropriate if the main purpose of the room is food preparation and storage, and a space will be allocated for the dining room in another room. In a U-shaped layout, a window sill is often used: under it you can place a work area with cabinets or equip a bar counter.

Rectangular

Depending on the aspect ratio, there may be three possible layout options:

• corner - if the smaller wall is at least 1.4 m;

• straight - the only one possible in very narrow rooms;

• double-row - possible in a room with a width of at least 2.5 m. A narrow cabinet can be installed along one of the walls, and the dining area can be placed at the end.

The choice of layout is also influenced by the location of the window. In a small, narrow kitchen with a window at the end, a straight layout is the only possible solution.

Interiors with a window on the long side are less common - usually in a private house. You can place a dining area under the window, and install a set along the opposite wall.

In a small, narrow kitchen, it is difficult to find a place for a dining area, since after installing the set, a narrow passage remains. There may be several options, depending on how many people the dining area will be designed for:

• bar counter parallel to the set;
• rectangular table;
• dining area at the end of the room.

Irregular shape

In a trapezoid-shaped room, the longest wall without protrusions is suitable for installing the headset. You can place a dining area along the sloping wall. If the room is also elongated, then the table can be installed at the end.

Architectural features and the irregular shape of a room can always be successfully played out by making custom-made furniture.

Kitchen finishing

To get a stylish room, you need to achieve integrity and completeness in the design of the space. This is achieved by combining furniture and accessories with the surrounding environment.

Materials for finishing the kitchen are selected based on their practicality. They must be moisture resistant, not susceptible to mechanical damage, exposure to chemicals and high temperatures.

Walls

For the kitchen, washable wallpaper, ceramic tiles, and plastic panels are used. If inexpensive repairs are needed, the walls are plastered and painted. Be sure to install an apron in the work area. It is made of tempered glass, tiles or natural stone.

Finishing material is chosen in accordance with the style. If for Provence tiles or wallpaper with a floral print are the ideal solution, then in classic and high-tech this option is inappropriate.

Various panels or decorative plaster are more suitable here. And in a room in the minimalist style, any material can be used in decoration, the main thing is monotony and the absence of unnecessary patterns.

Floor

The floor in the kitchen should be wear-resistant, non-slip and easy to clean. A good example is high-quality linoleum. It can be used in a room with any style. It is practically not subject to damage, is easy to install and does not cause difficulties during cleaning.

Another material for finishing the floor in the kitchen is ceramic tiles. It is resistant to moisture and chemicals, and is not subject to fading in the sun. Thanks to the wide range of colors and parameters, you can easily choose the type of coating for a room in any style.

Expert opinion

Olga Kovalenko

Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.

For the floor, you need to choose tiles with a matte surface and fine texture. Laminate is not suitable for the kitchen. It is not waterproof.

New design – self-leveling floors. They are easy to use, durable and have a presentable appearance.

Ceilings

The ceiling must be finished with a material that can withstand regular cleaning without losing its aesthetics. A budget option is painting. This coating is difficult to wash, but any yellowing that appears can be easily corrected by applying a new layer.

If the ceiling has uneven surfaces, they can be hidden with plasterboard. With its help, you can arrange multi-level structures that zone the kitchen. It is perfect for rooms with high ceilings.

The use of tension coverings is also relevant in the kitchen. They are easy to care for and come in a wide range of colors, allowing you to choose the right option for any decor style. Preference is given to a matte surface; stains are less noticeable on it.

Style selection

What style should you use to decorate a small kitchen? In fact, there are no strict restrictions here, and even glamorous art deco and modern in a slightly adjusted form can be appropriate in a space of up to 8 sq.m.

Modern

Modern style is the most democratic and easiest to implement. For a small area this is the most suitable solution. A minimum of decor, a maximum of free space, straight and clear lines, functionality, a predominantly monochromatic color scheme - all these elements of modern style benefit the interior of a small kitchen.

Provence

There are no obstacles to implementing such a romantic style as Provence. Pastel shades of Provence (lavender, blue, yellow, pink, olive, gray) with a slight faded effect, moderate decor, light cotton curtains without unnecessary decor - all this will fit very harmoniously into the interior.

Minimalism

The rigor and coldness of a style such as minimalism are relevant for arranging small spaces, but this style is not as easy to implement as it might seem at first glance. Here you need to think carefully about storage, since the overall appearance should radiate cleanliness and order. All equipment must be hidden - built in so that it forms a single ensemble with the facades, or hidden behind plain, smooth facades.

High tech

Glass, metal, glossy surfaces that reflect light can visually expand the space. Its practicality and functionality in the choice of equipment and furniture will be beneficial in arranging a small space.

Classic and neoclassical

The classic style loves an abundance of decor in decoration and furniture. If you stick to predominantly light shades in your design, avoid heavy and massive decorations, give preference to furniture of simple shapes and without frills, then the classics can harmoniously fit even into a small room.

Neoclassicism will be more relevant - a combination of traditional and modern elements in design.

Loft

The brutal loft initially originated in a large area with a high ceiling and would be most appropriate in a two-level studio apartment. But its popularity has expanded the boundaries of its use in the interior. Even a modest mini-kitchen can be brutal, thanks to the use of individual loft style elements.

Styles

Modern styles for decorating a rectangular kitchen - minimalistic or Scandinavian. Each of them is universal and discreet in its own way, which will come in handy and make the room more comfortable.

In small rooms, the main shades should be light; they will visually increase the area. But a few stylish things must be present; they will add originality and uniqueness.

Whatever style you choose, pencil cases stretched all the way to the ceiling will make your life much easier, freeing up some of the space.

Color and decor

Give preference to light colors in the design. It is not at all necessary to decorate the entire room in white. It is enough to make a light range of shades predominant without overloading the interior with complex ornaments and designs.

To prevent a design in light colors from seeming boring, it is enough to dilute it with bright colors in moderation in the form of such details as curtains, pillows on chairs, flower pots, napkins for cutlery. The accent can be an apron. You can even create bright mosaics or Spanish tiles on a plain, neutral background.

When finishing walls and floors, you should not choose materials with large, catchy patterns or 3D designs. The most universal solution is plain walls. A complex shade or texture can add originality.

Some styles, for example, country, Provence, classic, allow the use of decoration with a floral or floral pattern, but this pattern should not be large and very bright.

Small kitchen in the country

It is better to avoid bright colors in floor decoration. But at the same time, tiles with a pattern that matches the main color scheme of the interior can look great. For example, tiles with a patchwork pattern. In order not to make the design too colorful and to highlight the main emphasis on the floor finishing, the overall design should be kept in neutral colors.

Patchwork style tiles on the backsplash or floor and a minimalist white set are the most win-win combination

An abundance of accessories is worse than a lack of them. An interior overloaded with decorative elements creates visual noise.

It is better to abandon the colorful collage and board for stickers, souvenirs, and numerous magnets on the refrigerator. For decoration, sometimes indoor plants in miniature flower pots, compact and discreet wall clocks are enough.

Selection of finishing materials

This is one of the most important parts of any kitchen interior. The practicality of the interior, the visual appeal of the design, and the durability of the renovation itself depend on the choice of finishes and materials for furniture. For a kitchen made simply and tastefully, the main thing is the quality of the coatings, and the uniqueness of the decor will be given by the details - decor, textiles, lighting.

Floor

Since every family member is in the kitchen every day, the floor must withstand constant loads. And if there are pets in the house, then withstand the pressure of their sharp claws. The simplest option for finishing the floor in the interior is linoleum. The practical, inexpensive coating is moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and the rich color palette allows it to fit into any design. The ease of installation also speaks in favor of linoleum.

Laminate is also a good choice for flooring. It is worth taking waterproof lamella panels for the kitchen; in addition, you need to take care of the tightness of the joints. Laminate, like linoleum, is an easy material to install, but with natural parquet there are much more concerns.

Tiles or natural stone are the most wear-resistant floor coverings in the kitchen. They are not afraid of not only moisture and heat, but also mold and pests. In addition, these are environmentally friendly materials that do not emit harmful substances into the atmosphere.

Walls

Wallpaper looks simple and tasteful in the kitchen interior, but in such a humid and hot room it is better to choose vinyl or acrylic canvases. They are thicker than paper ones, hide minor imperfections in the walls, and are easy to clean.

Light plaster is especially relevant in a number of styles - Provence, country, Mediterranean, Moroccan. There are decorative mixtures with colored granules, glitter, mother-of-pearl, and relief plaster looks impressive.

Important! In small kitchens, you should not choose dark shades for decorating the walls; light colors will visually expand the space.

Ceiling

The simplest type of finishing is ordinary whitewash. White color can be combined with any shades and suits all interior styles without overloading the space. The gradation of shades from dark to light looks impressive, if they are chosen from the same range; this visually makes the ceilings in the kitchen higher.

Another way to tastefully decorate the ceiling in the interior is with hanging structures. This ceiling does not require leveling the surface, but it takes about 10-15 cm of height, so it is not suitable for very low rooms. However, you can visually correct the situation by choosing glossy stretch fabrics. This decoration in the kitchen looks simple, stylish and tasteful.

Important! Suspended structures allow the installation of spotlights.

Competent selection of furniture and household appliances

How to place all the necessary furniture and equipment in a small area? How to find a place for a dining area? And how to solve the seemingly impossible task of finding space in a small kitchen for an additional guest bed? We will suggest several non-standard techniques for organizing a functional and comfortable space.

Corner or straight set to the ceiling

Upper cabinets up to the ceiling allow you to organize more storage space, but the downside of this solution can be excessive clutter, which does not benefit a modest-sized room.

To ensure that upper cabinets under the ceiling fit harmoniously into the interior, choose facades that match the color of the walls, visually dissolving them in space. If the configuration of the set is angular, then you can free one of its sides from the wall cabinets to make the room visually freer.

Pay attention to the design of the junction of furniture and ceiling. There should be no gaps here. And if there is a gap between the ceiling and the upper cabinets, then it should be closed with a false panel or decorative cornice.

Built-in hood and mini appliances

Due to the modest area, one way or another you will have to sacrifice technical equipment and give up some, albeit useful, but not the most necessary gadgets.

It is better to give preference to built-in and compact equipment.

A small kitchen of 6 sq. m may be the only possible place to install a washing machine

Pay attention to non-standard narrow models of ovens, mini-microwaves, 45 cm wide dishwashers, and two-burner hobs. For a small and medium-sized family, such compact equipment is usually quite enough for a comfortable life.

The compact built-in hood takes up less space than a fireplace or sloped hood and still leaves room for storage.

If you don’t need a lot of storage space, then you can sacrifice the spaciousness of the headset for the sake of aesthetics, if this is justified by the interior concept. Stylish fireplace hoods can decorate a wall freed from upper cabinets and become the main accent in the design.

Multifunctional and compact furniture for the dining area

To accommodate a dining area in a very small kitchen, you will need non-standard solutions. For example:

• window sill table;

• folding table;

• mini table in the corners;

• continuation of the countertop set in the form of a bar counter;

IKEA Knoxhult kitchen with breakfast bar

• retractable or roll-out tabletop;

• modern dining area. It is important that it has a minimalist design - without a massive back, without armrests and decorative elements. Storage space can be provided under the seat.

Small kitchen corner
Which chairs to choose? The best solution would be stools, low-back models or transparent polycarbonate chairs.

In a classic interior, chairs with a high back will look most appropriate. But only if the dining area is designed for only two people, and the chairs themselves do not interfere with the passage and setting the table.

How to organize a sleeping place?

Even such a seemingly impossible task can have a solution. For example, the sleeping place can be folding, hidden in the back of the sofa. But it is obvious that such an idea will only be possible to implement on an area of ​​at least 7-8 square meters. m. A compact folding chair or mini-sofa can serve as a sleeping place.

Practical use of space

Modern kitchen design implies simplicity and comfort; it is distinguished by less furniture, as well as the most convenient options for its placement. This allows you to create beautiful, comfortable interiors even in very small spaces. There are many ways to save useful space, all of which improve functionality.

Kitchen with pantry

If the room has a small niche, you can arrange a storage room in it to store various things. If the size allows, you can even fit some large household appliances there - a washing machine, a freezer or an entire refrigerator.

Kitchen interior with separate pantry

A pantry with sliding doors can be arranged if the kitchen is very long, simply by fencing off part of the room. There is enough space to put away all unnecessary items and utensils that are rarely used.

If space allows, you can allocate a separate closet for a pantry.

Built-in technology

It helps to significantly save space in the kitchen; the appliances are hidden behind panels or cabinet fronts. This is convenient if the room is decorated in ethnic styles, country, Provence and any others based primarily on naturalness. The interiors of small kitchens with built-in appliances, made simply and tastefully, can be seen in the photo below.

This closed format also helps reduce the noise level when the devices are turned on. This is undoubtedly a big plus when the kitchen is combined with the living room.

Built-in kitchen appliances do not stand out from the overall design

Kitchen set in a niche

This design option allows you to place the kitchen simply and tastefully in a large living room. This way, the equipment will not take up much space and will not stand out much from the general background, allowing you to pay more attention to the living room itself.

A linear kitchen unit is perfectly located in the niche

The interior of the kitchen in the niche is simple and laconic. If desired, you can install sliding partitions, matte, solid or transparent. This will allow you to hide your workspace from view if necessary.

Window sill as an extension of the work area

In a small kitchen, it is necessary to rationally use every extra centimeter, so arranging a work desk on the windowsill is very convenient. This is not only a way to extend or expand the countertop, good lighting will make the cooking process more convenient.

You can conveniently place a sink with cupboards near the window

This countertop can accommodate a sink. However, it is worth considering that communications are located far from the windows and will have to be moved. An extended window sill can turn into a dining table, a bar counter, and if it is low, then into a bench. If there is a need to move water supply or gas pipes, sewerage, etc., permission from the BTI will be required.

Perimeter table top

Perfect for a kitchen interior made simply and tastefully. A long tabletop, which occupies almost the entire space along the walls, goes well with kitchen appliances built into the niche - this makes the space seem freer.

Storage systems

If there is little space, the room is small and requires saving space, hanging shelves with drawers above door or window openings will save the situation. You can put everything that you rarely use there. Additional storage space for kitchen utensils is a drawer under the seat of a pouf or sofa.

Island in the kitchen

A good option to optimize the kitchen, but only suitable for large rooms. An island is a floor cabinet with countertops placed in the center of the room. There may also be a sink, stove, oven, bar counter, shelves, drawers, etc. If the island has a stove, there must be a powerful hood above it.

Tips for arrangement

A small kitchen has its own nuances in choosing colors, finishing materials, and accessories. The tips below will help you take into account some important points in the arrangement.

Practical finishing materials

As for the choice of finishing materials for walls, here you need to give preference to practical and durable vinyl wallpaper, or better yet, matte paint.

Since the room is small and the distance from the stove to surrounding objects is minimal, washable finishing materials are the best choice.

There are now quite a lot of high-quality paints on the market with interesting textures and complex, beautiful shades. Painting can be done over decorative plaster.

For floor finishing, the most practical types of materials will be porcelain stoneware, ceramic tiles, and PVC tiles.

Door refusal

A swing door, when open, clutters up the space, so in a small kitchen it is most often abandoned, leaving an open doorway. True, the downside of such a solution may be the penetration of odors into neighboring living rooms, which is always unpleasant. To minimize this drawback, install a high-quality hood and maintain it regularly.

Important! It is impossible to refuse a door in a room with a gas stove within the framework of the law. Although there is enough debate on this matter, in which outdated norms in SNiPs are often used as arguments. In this case, the most correct solution, which does not entail any violations and at the same time allows you to save space, would be to install a sliding door.

Remaking the window sill

If the family consists of no more than two people, then a place in the kitchen can be allocated for the dining area. For example, a window sill converted into a tabletop. To go with it, you need to buy bar stools, or better yet, bar stools that slide completely under the tabletop, freeing up more space.

It is necessary to calculate the optimal depth of the tabletop-window sill so that those sitting behind it do not experience discomfort from the proximity of the heating radiator. If possible, in agreement with housing and communal services, the radiator can be moved.

A window sill table can complement a full dining area and serve as a place for quick snacks.

The place of the window sill can be taken by a work surface. If there are closed cabinets under the window, then the heating radiator should be moved, having previously agreed on the redevelopment with housing and communal services. Otherwise, for free circulation of warm air it is necessary to make holes in the countertop.

Small kitchen 3 by 2 meters with a sink by the window

One of the layout options is to move the sink under the window. Then the corner at the entrance is freed up for the refrigerator. But the transfer of the wet zone also requires approval by law. Such a solution will require additional hassle with extending communications.

Minimum accessories and order in the work area

Keep your work area clear of clutter so there is always free space for cooking. Most frequently used items (cutlery, dishes, pots, cans of cereal) should be stored in cabinets next to the stove. Only paper towels and jars of spices can be left on the rails in the work area.

Uniform lighting

Properly organized lighting can not only hide the flaws of a small kitchen, but also visually expand the space. For this it is recommended:

• make the lighting uniform and diffused so that there are no dark corners in the room (including in the work area);
• give preference to miniature overhead lamps or built-in spotlights instead of one large chandelier;
• do not block the window with furniture;
• abandon curtains (if the design concept allows) or give preference to simple short curtains without lush and elegant accessories such as lambrequins, tiebacks, flounces, etc.

Free table top

A roll-out cabinet or a retractable additional tabletop are non-standard ideas that allow you to increase the work surface at the right time.

Custom cabinet depths

Instead of the standard 60 cm, you can order cabinets with a depth of 35 cm. With a corner layout, this solution can be implemented by installing narrow cabinets on only one side. This will have an uncritical effect on storage.

Rational storage

Thoughtful filling of wall and floor cabinets will help you make the most of every centimeter.

• Use useful storage organizers.

• Organize the space under the sink rationally.

• In the corner set, make the corner module as spacious as possible by installing the “smart corner” system.

• Give preference to modules with drawers rather than cabinets with shelves, as they allow you to organize storage more compactly and quickly find the item you need.

• Use the plinth for storage. Here you can store baking dishes and any flat objects in drawers.

Make good use of the loggia area

If it is possible to coordinate a redevelopment to add a loggia to the area of ​​a small kitchen, then it is worth taking advantage of it. This will allow you to allocate space for a dining area, bar counter or small seating area.

If it is impossible to coordinate the redevelopment for some reason, then you can arrange a cozy lunch area on an insulated balcony or loggia.

What you need to know before starting work

Before starting work on the design of a rectangular kitchen, there are some important factors to consider:

• The kitchen should be multifunctional; every item in it should be arranged in such a way that it is always at hand.
• The main tones of the kitchen should be calm and inviting.
• The work area should be finished with a material that is easy to handle and clean.
• If there is such a possibility, then a small kitchen is connected to an adjacent room.
• The pattern on the wallpaper should be vertical, this will visually increase the space.
• Furniture should not be bulky and obscure the entire area.

Design mistakes: checklist

It’s always better to learn from other people’s mistakes, but you can easily eliminate your own if you have a ready-made checklist that will help you quickly understand what’s wrong in your interior.

Convenient kitchen design

Heights, dimensions, ergonomics

Lower cabinets

When choosing lower cabinets, you need to focus on a height of about 90 cm, this is considered the standard. However, if the cabinet turns out to be the wrong height for you, don’t worry, because every modern cabinet has legs that can be adjusted in height. By adjusting the legs you can change the height by a few centimeters in both directions. And if you are really tall, then the missing centimeters can be gained by installing a thicker countertop. And it is in the lower cabinets that I recommend installing drawers; this is convenient for both small and bulky items.

Working surface

As we have already said, the most logical place for the main work surface is the space between the stove and the sink. And its width should be at least 90 cm. This is the most important place in the kitchen, where we spend the most time!

Upper cabinets

How to choose the right sizes? Now you can find cabinets of any height on sale! They look aesthetically pleasing, but they are not very convenient to use. After all, it is almost impossible to reach the very top compartments, and usually the most unnecessary things are stored there. The standard height for upper cabinets is 60, 72, 90 and 120 cm. At the same time, modular ones have only two heights: 72 cm and 90 cm. What should be the depth? Standard 35 cm.

At what height is the hood?

It often happens that even the designers themselves do not know at what height to install the hood! Everyone gives their own numbers. And the answer is a post! The correct height is a palm taller than the height of the tallest family member. Just place the hood so that no one hits their head on it.

Kitchen design 5 sq m: real photos

A small kitchen with an area of ​​5 sq.m is most often found in Khrushchev-era buildings. Renovating a small space is complicated not only by the lack of square meters, but also by the need to incorporate a gas water heater into the interior, accommodate a standard refrigerator and a full-fledged dining area. We have collected the most successful design ideas for 5 square meters, which will prove that even a small space can be comfortable and functional.

In connection with the fashion for kitchen-living rooms in Khrushchev-era buildings, you can increasingly find the following redevelopment options:

• combined with the living room, breaking the partition (in Khrushchev buildings it is not load-bearing). In order to comply with the requirements of SanPiNov, it is necessary to install a transparent partition or refuse gas in the apartment, having gone through certain bureaucratic approval procedures;

• the entrance to the kitchen is moved from the corridor to the hall, and in the niche formed in the place of the former corridor, a refrigerator is installed or a built-in closet is made.

Design tips

You can equip your kitchen by relying only on your own strength. But it is not a fact that the resulting solution will meet expectations. Therefore, it is better to contact a professional. If this is not possible, then it would be useful to learn about design tricks that will help equip the room.

1. The sink, stove and refrigerator should form a triangle in the kitchen and be located at its highest points. Other furniture should be positioned so that it does not create obstacles when moving between furnishings.
2. Closed cabinets can be used to hide rarely used items.
3. A powerful ventilation system should be installed in the kitchen. It prevents the spread of odors throughout the apartment and the settling of fatty particles on the finishes and furniture.
4. A lot of household appliances are used in the kitchen. Therefore, even at the project development stage, it is necessary to provide a sufficient number of sockets above the work area.

When thinking over the design plan for a room, you need to take into account the fact that this is the most easily soiled place in the house. Therefore, it is worth equipping it in such a way that daily cleaning does not cause difficulties.

Decor

To decorate a kitchen simply and tastefully, there is no need to use a large number of decorative elements. On the contrary, the fewer there are, the better. The most striking interior items are curtains and upholstery. If the finish is kept in neutral colors, you can easily refresh it with the help of textiles. When choosing a color for curtains, you can focus on upholstered furniture, wall coverings or a large decorative element - panels, photo wallpaper, etc. For windows, you should not choose fabrics that are too dark and dense. In addition, all textile elements of the kitchen interior should be easy to wash.

The walls will be decorated with photos in stylish frames, modular paintings, panels or posters. The accent of the interior can be a bright apron with mosaics, glass panels, colored tiles or mirror cladding.

It’s easy to diversify a simple kitchen interior with the help of ordinary indoor plants. This decor option is especially appropriate for eco, Scandinavian style, country or minimalism. How else you can add individuality to the simple design of a small kitchen with the help of decor can be seen in the photo below.

It’s easy to decorate a kitchen interior with taste; all you need to do is think through the layout, choose the right color scheme, and don’t go overboard with the decor. A laconic, practical design looks much more harmonious and comfortable, in contrast to complex interiors, which are often completely unthought-out for everyday life.

Linear set - interior design features

What is a light straight kitchen 2/2.5/3 meters? This is a set located along one wall. As you understand, the sink, refrigerator, and gas stove are on the same line, which violates the “golden triangle” rule.

A bright, straight kitchen of 2-2.5 meters will easily fit into any type of room.

When do you choose a linear type headset?

• For small spaces where few products are stored;
• In case of incorrect and complex room layouts (for example, an elongated room or access to a balcony);

• When the owners are practically never in the kitchen, they make do with only small snacks;
• There is no need for a large cooking area and the owners want to devote more space to the dining area.

“Modern linear sets are installed in studio-type interiors or where the owners want to allocate more free space to the dining room and relaxation area.”

Bright straight kitchen - tips for organization

2. To visually expand the space, choose a light, straight kitchen to match the color of the walls (so that it practically merges with it);
