SMALL KITCHEN DESIGN ESSENTIALS
At EKS, we have a few standby methods we like to use when working on a small kitchen remodel – and trust us, they work every time! This includes everything from making use of lighting, colours and door styles to working with small kitchens on an individual scale and creating ingenious designs.
We’ve selected the most common tools we use to ensure the small kitchens we design don’t feel cramped or confined. So, if you’re worried about how your small kitchen is going to work for you, check out our ideas to get inspiration for your future kitchen!
SMALL KITCHEN LAYOUTS
Working on a small kitchen can be a bit of a challenge, sometimes it feels as though you’ll never fit everything in! But luckily for you, the EKS Team is here to help with your kitchen remodel.
We’ve pulled together some ideas of how you can make the most of your space, whether it be a galley kitchen layout, a U-shaped kitchen, an open kitchen or a small kitchen with an island. Whatever you’re dealing with, we’re sure to have seen it before. So, if you’re looking to get ideas together on how to optimise your available space, check out our ‘how to' guide today!
HOW TO DESIGN A BUDGET KITCHEN
Budgeting can be a bit of a challenge, but once you break each component of your kitchen down, it really is a piece of cake. A budget is required for any kitchen, big or small, and it's a good idea to differentiate your 'needs' from your 'wants'.
Check out our guide on how you can save or where you could alternatively splash some extra cash depending on your design priorities. Of course, this list isn’t the be all and end all, so make sure you check in with the team to discuss your own, unique situation!

SMALL KITCHEN COLOURS
Colours make a huge difference to how kitchens look – especially when it comes to smaller kitchens! To help you get some ideas together, we have some suggestions of colour palettes that work effectively in compact kitchens.
With small kitchens, we’re a firm believer in keeping designs bright and airy, so we’ve listed some tips on how to use white, grey and other light colours to your advantage.
