27. Smooth out lines. Minimize horizontal lines to visually stretch your little kitchen vertically. If you’re starting from scratch, consider hiding drawers and daily clutter behind two smooth, tall, painted doors.

The kitchen sits beside and under the stairs. The island is notable for its star-studded legs and a line of poetry carved into the counter’s edge.

to the right of a window, a slice of space has been appropriated for wine storage. On the left dishware is kept at the ready. These vertical storage units morph into horizontal storage across the tops of the windows here for even more found space.

Q

Photo

Just a few inches of space next to a refrigerator have been used to build wine cubbies here. The cubbies match the width of the spacer below that makes sure the refrigerator has enough clearance to open.

Love the columar look of this storage piece. Messages. A magnetic board is a great way to keep messages, invites and calendars in a spot where everyone will see them, and the metal adds a cool industrial touch.

Smart storage like an appliance garage and pullout spice rack make the space superefficient.

Consider a fresh shade of turquoise on a kitchen backsplash. Turquoise is a great color for rustic styles like Spanish and Mediterranean. This ocean hue blends well with other blues and white or stain-grade cabinets.

added by Vanessa Brunner to 6 Clever Kitchen Storage Ideas Anyone Can Use 3. Ultimate Storage Solution for Your Measuring Cups. Measuring cups and spoons always seem to be buried at the bottom of a drawer, unattached from one another and drifting in kitchen chaos, right when you need them most. Beckie Farrant came up with this cute and clever idea: Paint sticks, hooks, and vinyl lettering keep everything right where she can find it and make converting measurements easy too.

Love this--The most ubiquitous small appliance has to be the coffeemaker. More often than not, this wonderful little machine is placed where it takes up valuable counter space. Rather than let it get in the way, try placing it in a dedicated cabinet, away from the main work area. This way that person who wants another cup of morning joe stays out of the cook's way.

Dunsmuir Cabinets provides custom cabinet doors to work with any Ikea kitchen cabinet body. The new system allows you to create a beautifully modern custom kitchen affordably, because you are using the existing Ikea cabinets system. Dunsmuir can retrofit Ikea kitchens back to 1988 and work with the Ikea planning software. The best part is you can install it yourself for an instant DIY upgrade. Brilliant in its simplicity.

Built-in storage is also a great way to cut down on countertop clutter. With space at a premium, these hidden spots are space savers and a great way to stay organized

Q

Use a few mirror fronts to break up a large section of cabinets in the kitchen.

Q

Photo

Mirrors with an aged patina work well if you prefer a softer effect.

Q

Photo

Mirror subway tiles--Again, a wall of mirrors, like the tiled one here, does wonders to the room's perceived size.

Q

Photo

Mirrors work wonders as a backsplash for two reasons: one, they're easy to wipe down after a cooking mishap (remember what I said about that Windex?), and two, you can discretely check if there's anything in your teeth whilst entertaining.

Q

Photo

Love the floor.

Q

Photo

Lots of texture. Due to their neutral palette, transitional kitchens usually feature textural elements that add visual spark. The tile backsplash in this space extends up the wall for a sense of motion and a tactile feel.

Q

Photo

Neutral colors. Transitional rooms rarely have strong, punchy palettes. Instead, they layer neutrals for a clean and monochromatic, yet still warm, effect. A dash of bold color here and there isn't verboten, but keep it to a minimum.

In the market for a shower upgrade? Consider choosing corrugated steel for your shower surround. The material is unexpected yet sophisticated, especially within a contemporary setting.

Hidden outlets. The island in the previous image has a well-placed kitchen outlet. Houzzers are tired of the required outlets breaking up their beautiful backsplashes, and who can blame them? Under-cabinet outlets are one smart solution.

This tiny little kitchen has the perfect solution for a breakfast nook. The rolling and pivoting table provides space to sit and eat, but allows the cook room to work. What a brilliant use of space.

Kitchen separation: Shutter doors add cozy charm and architecture to this beachfront condo's dining cove. I imagine shutting them when playing a good game of cards with family and friends. It could make a game of UNO seem more like a poker game in a saloon in the Wild West. Or not.

An open kitchen is a great place to try black cabinets, as they may look more like furniture and blend with the nearby living spaces.
