Designer Interview: Small Kitchen Layouts

Question: Where Should A Small Kitchen Budget Go?

Spend first on layout, storage and lighting. Decorative finishes matter, but a compact kitchen fails quickly if everyday movement and storage are not solved.

Question: What Makes A Kitchen Feel Larger?

Consistent floor finish, fewer upper cabinets where possible, good task lighting and a calm palette can make a compact room feel less broken up.

Question: What Is Worth Customising?

Custom pantry inserts, corner storage and appliance garages can be worth it if they remove clutter from the benchtop.
