Every design moment matters in a little space, so have fun! The floor you present doesn't have to be uninteresting just because you have limited space.
Because compact kitchens have limited cabinet space, counters become overflow areas. You want your stuff to seem good when you stare at it all day.
Sneaking storage into compact spaces is vital for functionality. That may not look like traditional cabinets.
Visual clutter must be tamed to make a tiny kitchen feel and work properly. Most people like to maintain small areas clutter-free because what you see can affect the room's calmness.
Apartment renters often have small kitchens and dark rooms, which may make a space feel cramped. If so, find ways to illuminate your cook zone to keep it light and airy.
