Make the best of your small kitchen
Small kitchens can be a bit challenging at first to navigate the space with ease. Whether its storage, light, the sink setup or colour palettes, these are some observations and trends The Kitchn had on these spaces:
White subway tile never, ever goes out of style: opt for this clean, classic kitchen choice 
Sometimes, a place to sit is better than storage: what you sacrifice in storage, you gain in coziness, and a little more time enjoying the kitchen.
Spend money on sunlight: be smart, keep it simple and just let all that light in. 
Some sinks look good in a skirt: a soft skirt can be prettier and feel more cozy than a cupboard, in some small kitchens.
When in doubt, go black and white: in a bare, boring rental? Can’t paint or tile? Go black and white — instead of looking bare, your kitchen will look chic, French, and minimalist. 
Need more storage?
Look up: It’s not just pegboards, though; the small kitchens in this contest worked hard to find more space. Lots of people use their walls very effectively.
