Living with a small kitchen is invariably frustrating, whether you’re a diehard gourmand, or the type of person who uses the oven as wardrobe overflow. Spatial gymnastics, like chopping vegetables on a counter the size of a postage stamp or sucking in your stomach to navigate the passage between your refrigerator and kitchen island, can get old—fast. But being short on square footage should never inhibit the design potential of your kitchen. In fact, you might be surprised by the myriad methods out there to make even the most pint-sized of cooking areas look and feel grand. Storage, of course, is always top of mind (here’s looking at you, city dwellers!), but there are plenty of tips and tricks for making your kitchen feel spacious and stylish yet still functional. So we’ve rounded up 75 small kitchens from our archive to show you precisely how. Read on to see gorgeous homes that make the most of their small layouts with bold cabinetry, double-duty accent pieces, sleek lighting solutions, and more. Bon appétit!
