Small Kitchen Ideas & Design with Cabinets, Islands, Backsplash

With a dose of restraint to balance your kitchen’s small scale, you can proudly display a collection, hang window treatments, and accessorize your kitchen to reflect your style. Small kitchens do indeed have the potential to charm as much as their larger counterparts. Because visual clutter can minimize an already small space, approach your small kitchen interior design with the charge of keeping things simple.
Color plays an important role in decorating the kitchen, especially if your bathroom in a flattering tone-on-tone palette that gives the impression of spaciousness. An attention-grabbing wall adds depth and style, and it will even highlight architectural elements particular to your room.
You also can infuse color and pattern through window treatments, an area rug, or upholstery in a built-in banquette. 
Both basics work to soften the kitchen and are a reflection of your personal design style, be it casual or formal, classic or modern interior design. Although recessed and under cabinet lights leave the smallest footprint in a small kitchen, a pair of pendant lamps above the center island or a trendy drum shade above the built-in breakfast nook will give the kitchen a finished look.
Everything in a small kitchen must serve double-duty, so cabinetry and shelves aren’t just for storing dishes.
If storage space is limited, then bring in a freestanding cabinet like a bookshelf for a baker’s rack to hold your kitchen essentials.
