15. Keep It Simple and Streamlined

The space might be small, but the juxtaposition of the white walls and the stained wooden cabinets give this kitchen a bright and open feel. The gorgeous light fixtures above the bar serve as a perfect focal point. Instead of accenting this simple space with lots of decor items or artwork, this homeowner kept it simple with just three green plants and a fruit bowl.

The soft cream colors of the walls and cabinets are the perfect backdrop for the multicolored mugs, plates and bowls, which serve as both functional dinnerware and decoration.

17. So Tiny, Yet So Simple
If you’re on the hunt for small kitchen ideas but are working on a budget, look no further than this stunning little space. While the homeowner made no major changes to the cabinetry or fixtures, they breathed life into this little kitchen by installing two sleek black shelves above their countertop, atop which sit some lovely glassware. This homeowner knew that bringing plant life into their kitchen would brighten up the space, so they hung small potted plants on silver rods over their sunny window.

19. Sophisticated, Soft and Welcoming
This is one of the most welcoming kitchen design pictures on our list. Although the kitchen itself might be small, the abundance of natural light and the myriad hues of natural wood give it an open and inviting feel.

Metallic countertops help to open up the space even more, with the sunlight pouring in through the windows bouncing off of the reflective surfaces gorgeously. Although this design seems simple, it’s perfectly stunning.
20. A Steely Yet Inviting Kitchen Space
Floor-to-ceiling gray isn’t a color choice that you’ll see in many kitchen design pictures and yet it works so well in this little kitchen. While the grey polished cement floor and matching cabinets and walls could have been harsh, cold and uninviting, this homeowner brought cheerfulness to the space with a bright yellow breakfast bar and matching shelves. The dark mahogany backsplash brings some texture to this sleek design choice. While this might be too bold of a design for many, it would be perfect for a condo dweller who wants something edgy, urban and modern.
21. Stunning Simplicity
Just because you have a little kitchen doesn’t mean that you have to overcompensate by filling the space with eye-catching colors and tons of decorative trinkets. This homeowner chose to keep their kitchen simple, pairing white cabinets with dark gray walls. Although this space isn’t overflowing with decorations, little accents give it some life, such as the lovely miniature tree centerpiece on the kitchen table and the framed photographs on the adjacent wall. This space proves that not all small kitchen design ideas need to be over-the-top or dramatic.
22. All White Makes The Atmosphere Bright
Many people are afraid to work with all white color schemes in their homes.

When you’re researching small kitchen ideas, don’t feel as if your limited space prevents you from going big with your design choices.
