This truly minimalist, yet highly modern contemporary small kitchen design takes a step beyond the traditional small kitchen. The deep, rich color scheme in this decidedly minimal, yet completely functional kitchen is very ‘bold’ and sanitized. Notice how the curved work and eating areas create a spacious feeling along with the use of the transparent glass bar top.

The earth tones in this modern small kitchen design gently contrast and focus attention on the black counter top and refrigerator. Double height kitchen cabinets help to provide more storage space, while the transparent modern kitchen cabinet doors are designed to add to the spaciousness created by the lighter colored wood cabinet doors. The high warehouse style ceiling also helps to offset the little available kitchen space.

The bright white walls and backsplash that clearly contrast with the darker color of these kitchen cabinets, gives this small kitchen added perceived space. The clearly visible horizontal wood grain in the cabinet doors also helps to increase the perceived size of this tiny kitchen.

Bright and white surfaces help create perceived added space in a small kitchen. Many of the bright color shades help create a perception of greater space, so as a primary color with dark accents best helps to add comfortability to your small kitchen space. The open concept cabinets and storage spaces, along with the glass cabinet door really add to the perception of spaciousness.

When space is limited, it is sometimes possible to add onto the current space with a kitchen addition. This kitchen has been extended to include a cantilevered bay window area that allows more natural light in, adds to work and storage space, and provides a scenic view. The liberal use of white conveys cleanliness, openness, and helps to illuminate darker areas. Open concept kitchen cabinets over the near counter top would provide best functional use of that space.

Funky, funky, funky! This funky small kitchen design goes big on funky! The use of wacky ‘non-traditional’ fixtures - such as the bathroom mirror backsplash - adds to the personality of this small kitchen design. The shale blackboard note minder on the divider and the shelving unit over the doorway are again, funky!

In this modern small kitchen design, there are a variety of techniques used to make the small space appear larger. Notice the small kitchen table and transparent chairs… this helps to provide the illusion of having a bigger space. Window space is maximized, while a mirrored backsplash also creates a larger appearance for the small counter top space. The stove is built right into the counter top, and wall space is utilized by a contemporary shelving unit holding spices and utensils.

In this small kitchen design the counter top was opened up by utilizing a highly functional kitchen sink, a built-in countertop stove, utensil hangers, and very innovative use of slimline drawers underneath the kitchen cabinets. If the dark colored backsplash was a lighter color it would help create a larger feeling of space in this small kitchen design.

The very liberal use of rich red monochromes add drama that is enhanced by the ’space-age’ materials in this more traditional modern small kitchen design. The petite kitchen table and tandem chairs and bar stools as secondary seating helps to maximize space. Open concept glass cabinet doors, hanging utensils, abundant shelving storage and bright lighting help to create a larger space in this small kitchen design.

This small luxurious kitchen features a teak-like finish very rich in color and styling - it is high-end modern contemporary without being garishly overdone. Functionality is primary in this modern small kitchen design. Ample cupboard space and well placed small appliances enhance the beauty of the small space.

In this last small kitchen picture you’ll notice the very large contemporary light fixture that creates a futuristic feel to this small condominium kitchen design. The fixture also helps to enhance perceived size. Cabinet space is efficiently maximized without losing the open concept - achieved by having one partial wall.
