Small kitchen design introduction
LWK Kitchens are expert in the design of small or compact kitchens. As a London centric company we are often challenged to create appealing and functional kitchen designs suitable for the restricted floor plans common to many London properties. Our clients quite rightly wish to maximise their use and enjoyment of their kitchens, and are often frustrated that some kitchen designers haven't accomplished the skills necessary to produce designs suitable for the confines of compact kitchens.
We are often trying to achieve the objectives of maximizing storage and counter-space whilst still creating clean uncluttered designs. Our extensive range of handle-less kitchens is particularly useful in achieving an uncluttered look, and the absence of handles means never having to worry about catching clothing on them as you pass each other within a limited floor space.
Aesthetics for small and compact kitchens
Lighter colours are particularly suited to smaller kitchens as they help make a room look larger. However, there is no need to fear this making your room look too stark - we have an extensive colour palette containing subtle tones such as Kashmir and antique white, and of course they can also be combined in two-tone colour schemes. The obvious choice of door type is gloss, which reflects light and brightens a small kitchen; however we have found that our satin lacquer finishes have proved extremely popular with clients who do not want gloss finishes but are wary of the light absorbing characteristics of matt kitchen finishes.
