White galley kitchen with patterned floor tiles
A wooden window seat adds extra seating and bold, blue floor tiles have been used to border the island unit in this classic kitchen. Galley and linear kitchens are the obvious choice for narrow rooms, but can be the star of larger spaces, too. Galleys are designed to be both compact, ergonomic and ultra-efficient, maximising every inch of space for both storage and preparation.

2/10 White and sage green kitchen with wall cupboards
Not every home is blessed with a vast open-plan kitchen but, if your room is on the small side, there's plenty to feel positive about. Keep surfaces free of clutter, too. Look for smaller appliances, choosing premium models that give the optimum internal space while still fitting a standard or smaller space. To avoid cluttering the worktops, plenty of cupboards have been incorporated into this kitchen design.
