Small Kitchen Ideas: Traditional Kitchen Designs

I have a 10x10 ft kitchen. Standard cabinets on one side with the sink. The other side, the cabinets were cut down to 18 inches. Put three rows of shelving instead of two (glass top shelf to increase visibility). One large sink. Two glass fronted cabinets.

Small, you want to talk about small, how about 5 X 7. Show me something in 5 X 7. I have all new appliances and am willing to spend $10,000. What do you have?

In the middle of a remodel, whole house, kitchen is I shaped with 11 ft of counter including sink and range. Any ideas on expanding work space without blocking the traffic lane.

I am still waiting for some new material! Same stuff over and over - plus it is NOT about truely small kitchens. Mine is small - 8x10 - but on YOUR scale this would be a "tiny" kitchen.

Ditto on all comments!

i join the manifestation that the kitchens featured here are NOT SMALL KITCHENS! i'd love to see really small kitchen, the size of about 8'x 10'

Wow!! These are huge kitchens. They're NEVER SMALL kitchens....or Bathrooms for that matter. In the real world, most of us have SMALL kitchens and bathrooms. Lets see some real ones with the ideas. PLEASE......

Will there "Ever" have a kitchen remodel of a real small space kitchen the size of 10' x 10 foot..it would be nice for the average working person to try and update

Let's have a kitchen,that a average, working men can pay for..Without,giving up allthe other things.... AEH..

I agree with the comments about how these "small" kitchens are actually very spacious. My kitchen is small - 8'x10', and I would love to see more ideas on how to make it feel more spacious and increase efficiency.

I agree that these kitchens are not small by my definition; they look about the size of my living room. The ceilings are really high too; much higher than in my 1952 cape. That is a major limit, both visually and functionally.

I agree with everyone these kitchens are not your small kitchens ina older home like the average joe has maybe thats a small kitchen in a mansion.

I agree with the majority. Show me realistic small kitchens usually found in old homes. It seems to me that the pictures shown can only be done if you etend the house. How about working with what we have? Now there's a challenge!

Slide 5 is so cool...where would one purchase that "new and improved" hoosier style cabinet?? Great idea for a "compact" kitchen prep center! Franki

seriously??? this is your idea of a small kitchen? That's bigger than the kitchen in my ex in-laws house (which was 2500 sq ft mcmansion). even your galley kitchens are bigger than what's in my 1950's 100 sf split level. show me something in a 9 by 12 or 8 by 10 if you're talking small (or 10 by 10 like my last house had - scarily enough, that was roomier for work space than my 9 by 12)

Sure would be nice if you'd actually put dimensioned floor plans in your articles. Pictures don't tell the whole story....

I agree sfs108 --- these kitchens do not fit the definition of small(in my humble opinion). My kitchen is 10x10 IF that. I am currently remodeling and so far, so good. I took the walk-in pantry and put the refridgerator in there with a cubby built above for storage (w/doors). That gave about 8" of space which although it doesn't sound like much, made the kitchen feel much larger. Good luck to you all!

I liked what ...956 wrote. I never win anything. A few years ago, I spent 6,000.00 for cabinets and another 1500.00 for flooring. Both were poor jobs. The kitchen hadn't been worked on since 1950's when house was built. With all my savings gone, the kitchen doesn't look any better! Is there a genie out there?

sfs108, My kitchen is even smaller then yours, I would love for one of these shows on TV to come in to my kitchen then would drop dead for sure. LOL, Jeane

I should be so lucky to have a 'small' kitchen. Looks like I'm not the only one. Some help for real kitchens, for real people and real budgets would be nice.

My kitchen is 14'9" by 7'9", with 3 doorways. The kitchens I've seen don't meet my definition of small.

Seriously....where are the SMALL kitchens??
