Open Plan Kitchen Contemporary Kitchen, London

9. Waterfall counter. We usually see this design element used on a large island, but it’s an overlooked strategy for a small kitchen. In this case, the kitchen nook is open to the living room. Extending the counter material to the floor enhances the design of the entire space.

90. Share your shelves. Maybe it’s not just your kitchen that’s small, but your whole home. While open-plan is on many of our wish lists, it’s not always the most practical for small-space living, where walls equal storage opportunities. Here, an element of open-plan is introduced, yet the wall space on the left is not lost, as a book-filled divider plugs the gap. This flexible solution allows the space to be used for storing living room tomes and cookbooks alike, as well as decorative kitchen objects that will look good from both sides of the divide.

Install extra shelving. If you’ve been using your kitchen as a workspace but it lacks a built-in desk, you may need more storage. If you have a bit of wall space, you can probably fit in some wall-mounted shelving. Use it to store file and document boxes or whatever materials you need close at hand. Attractive storage containers matter since they will be on view to the whole kitchen, so look for a nice set in a color and material that works with your kitchen scheme.
