Small & Galley Kitchens: Space-Smart Design That Feels Bigger

Compact kitchens demand precision. For properties around Weston-super-Mare, Bristol & Somerset, we use proportion, storage engineering and considered lighting to free your workspace and lift the mood. As senior kitchen designers and hands-on installers, we tune every millimetre—from hinge choice to drawer depth—so small kitchens feel ordered, bright and effortless.

Design Approach & Materials

Layout & clearances

Galley or L-shapes with 900 mm aisle width optimise reach. Tall housings cluster ovens and fridge to free prep surfaces; corner solutions unlock dead space.

Surfaces & finishes

Light, low-sheen doors reduce visual noise. Quartz with pencil edges keeps lines crisp; mirrored or pale splashbacks bounce light without glare.

Storage systems

  • Deep drawers with dividers for pans and crockery.

  • Slim pull-outs for condiments and trays.

  • LeMans or Magic Corner in corner units.

  • Full-height larders with internal drawers.

Appliances & lighting

Compact 60 cm ovens, slim dishwashers and low-profile extractors save space. Layer task/ambient/accent lighting; under-cabinet LEDs reduce shadows on the worktop.

Sustainability

Choose long-life hinges and LED lighting. Where possible, refurb viable carcasses with new fronts and tops to reduce waste.

FAQs

What’s the minimum aisle width?
900 mm is a practical target; we’ll adapt to doors and drawers in use.

Which colours feel larger?
Light neutrals and mid-tones with low sheen; strong colour can work on an island or larder.

Are corner units worth it?
Yes—with premium mechanisms that bring items fully out to you.

Can I fit a dishwasher?
Usually; slimline 45 cm models are efficient and quiet.

How do you improve lighting in small rooms?
Under-cabinet task light, warm ambient and a few controlled accents lift the space.
