✓A workable layout
Compare one-wall, galley and L-shaped plans. A U-shape may suit some rooms, but check where corners and open appliance doors leave enough standing space.

Your project
Start with the Room’s Limits and Possibilities
Measure walls, doors, windows, services and anything that cannot move. Make a list of essential appliances and the items currently taking up worktop space. A small room often benefits most from a layout that keeps the main preparation and washing areas straightforward.

Make Every Decision Earn Its Space
Each part is discussed and explained before you make a decision.
✓✓Storage within reach
Think about pans, food, recycling and small appliances. Drawers or a tall larder may help, depending on the cabinet range and available width.
✓Appliance sizes
List the models you want to keep or replace. Door swings and ventilation space can matter as much as the appliance’s front dimensions.
✓Light and surfaces
Use cabinet and worktop samples in the room where possible. Reflective finishes can change how a space feels, but lighting and upkeep should suit your routine too.
Practical choices
A Short Checklist Before Design
Measure the room and note any pipes, radiators, sockets and awkward corners. Approximate dimensions and photographs help start the conversation; final measurements need to be checked before ordering.
Sort your requirements into must-haves and nice-to-haves. Include the kettle, toaster, recycling and food storage, not only fitted appliances.
Review the finished plan with drawers and appliance doors open. Confirm the quoted product specification and fitting scope before you decide.

Questions answered
Your Installation Questions
Answers to help you choose your next step.
Which layout is best for a small kitchen?+
It depends on the room’s shape, doors, windows, services and appliances. Compare one-wall, galley and L-shaped arrangements first, then check movement and storage on the measured plan.
Can a small kitchen include an island?+
Sometimes a narrow peninsula or compact island may be considered, but circulation and cabinet access come first. Review the actual room dimensions with a designer before deciding.
How can I gain more storage?+
Start with an inventory of what you need to store. Drawers, tall cabinets and internal fittings are options to discuss, subject to the available space and product range.
How do I get a price for a small fitted kitchen?+
Arrange a design appointment so the room and project scope can be discussed. Request an itemised quotation for the agreed cabinets, surfaces, appliances and fitting work.
