This kitchen carves out a clean, clinical space that contrasts with the rest of the open floor plan. Since the entire living, dining and kitchen area uses the same flooring, the kitchen island creates a natural partition. 4G cabinet doors (i.e. aluminium frame around laminated plywood) provide narrow gaps to make the cabinets feel seamless. A mirrored backsplash is used as a continuation of the fully mirrored wall panels in the living room.

4. Spanish kitchen tiles paired with all-white kitchen cabinets.

This kitchen includes clever features suited for small kitchens. Firstly, the cabinet fronts use coloured glass to create a highly reflective surface. This gives the illusion of extending the floor area to make the kitchen feel bigger. There are no drawers here, and the cabinet fronts have no handles or pulls, so they create a highly organised grid that gives the kitchen very clean, unbroken lines. The neutral tones give a stylish and modern feel and have been paired with black countertops to up the cool factor.

7. Sleek kitchen design with floor-to-ceiling storage.
