White and Aegean blue
7. Gray. Is gray the new white? It’s hard to say for sure, but for those who like a light and airy look but are tired of white, a sumptuous gray or gray-beige is the next best thing.At first thought, you might expect gray to seem cold and off-putting. However, as you can see in these examples, a wide range of tones, from charcoal to clay to just-off-white, make an excellent complement to wood floors or shelves for a welcoming palette that feels anything but chilly.Read more about designing a gray and white kitchen
17. Pack in a pullout chopping station. Some days you need a bit more counter space than others, and when you do need to chop some vegetables, a little dedicated chopping station can be super helpful. A clever pullout chopping station, complete with a chopping-block top, can be integrated into a set of drawers so you have it handy when needed and tucked away when not.
14. Undercabinet shelves. This kitchen uses a small niche area created by a change in depth of the wall to create a little storage zone for spices. A shallow shelf under a stretch of upper cabinets can be a great spot to stash small items like spice jars, pepper mills or tea boxes. This works especially well if you use the shortened space below to store other items rather than using that spot for prep (so none of these items are really in your way).
9. Get seats that tuck in. A surface that can function as both a dinette table and a prep station is handy to have in a compact kitchen, but bulky stools or chairs can take up more space than they’re worth.Avoiding tripping over splaying legs by choosing backless seats that can fully tuck under the counter and table so they aren’t in the way when not in use.
