Go monochrome
Sometimes, the simplest scheme works well when space is limited. this kitchen illustrates how subtle combination of black and white, with a red flash on the key thrown oven, is all it takes to make a mountain unfussy, easy-to-live-with style.

Pep it with pastel
this is a classic recipe kitchen: white unit, the surface of the wood, slate floor. It works well in a small kitchen, creating a neutral background, but the addition of pastel china and accessories are not so much for the safe lifting of the scheme for the sweet and charming. stools invite you to perch while the chef is your partner, and shows how even a small galley kitchen can function rooms like socializing.

override it
Storage is at a premium in the small galley kitchen, but it does not mean that the hanging cabinets in every square inch of the walls is a good idea. wall unit can violate the limits of space and make it feel smaller. Instead, try an open shelf, like here, and bring them up to the ceiling. Choosing an interesting cast metal brackets score extra style points, too.

dabble with something dark
Although unit plain white may seem like the best option for kitchens kitchen, creating clean lines and increase light levels, they can end up making the room read more as a corridor from the kitchen cold and compact. Painting a dark color on one wall or around the unit immediately offset this effect and adds depth and warmth, too.

Add walls patterned
this small Parisian kitchen just might be large enough to cook a croque monsieur, but that doesn 't mean it's short on style. White units above melt into the wall, while the base unit dark create balance and weight. Then there is the beautiful wall tiles - dose glorious colors and patterns that are practical and wonderfully unpredictable

colorful, 1970 inspired retro galley kitchen is not only bright and pleasant, it was beautifully designed to make the most of the sloping ceiling.

Wait oversized lighting
this is a rather easy and intelligent way to show a larger room when your kitchen is actually a small trail. oversized lighting draws the eye to the ceiling and helps break down perspective. Both large lampshades soften the feel of linear space, while the reflective cupboard and glazed tiles help light bounces around.

Create a horizontal line
you might think working in a horizontal line will only serve to accentuate the long and narrow dimensions of a kitchen, but when the line drive toward key features - in this case the door and park outside - they add energy and focus to our room. Downlights mounted to the ceiling plinths join the floorboards in the leading refined eye.

Where decor fail, a great big hammer can be successful! Nothing makes a kitchen feel less like a kitchen than knocking down part of the wall. This kitchen has modest proportions, but thanks to the open view to the living space outside, it feels anything but cramped.
