In general, kitchens tend to be the ‘make it or break it’ room of the house, even amongst homeowners like myself, that are terrible at cooking. So what does a kitchen really need in order to squeeze into the ‘make it’ column? Nine times out of ten, I’d say the two must-haves are function and style. I don’t know about you, but I can overlook size in an instant if the space has those two things. So today I’m sharing seven beautiful and functional kitchens that are small in size but mighty in style.
Louise Freeland 1. A small kitchen that blends into the decor and looks great

2. A cozy kitchen with plenty of vertical storage
3. A long but narrow kitchen that somehow feels spacious
Chris Loves Julia 4. A small but mighty kitchen makeover
Sarah Sherman Samuel 5. A tiny kitchen that feels light and bright (and looks quite functional too)
Leela Cyd Ross 6. A small but tidy kitchen with open shelving for extra storage

7. And finally, the tiniest kitchen of all

I like 7. the tiniest kitchen because this can be used to convert a room to a fully self contained studio.
