Cosy up with a compact kitchen
Does your house have a compact kitchen space? Our designers are experts in transforming smaller spaces into cosy kitchens packed with storage and made to last. Let’s run through the design and storage solutions our team implement into your home to make the most out of your space, no matter what size.
Optimising your storage
Creating space for storage is crucial if you are working with a compact kitchen. Our German-trained design team will come to your house for a free home measure to identify every nook and cranny within your home to make sure you’re getting as much storage space as possible. They will not just measure your kitchen, but the entire of your floor plan to make your home function as best it can, regardless of size. They will consider a range of solutions from cutlery drawers with inbuilt knife blocks and spice jar compartments to swivel pull out units for cupboards and even hidden compartments in your worktops. All our cabinetry, worktops and storage solutions are designed and shipped from the world’s biggest German kitchen manufacturer. They are experts in providing solutions to suit every single kitchen. Our designers are trained to know every single solution and integrating them into your home.

Looking up
If your space is short on square footage, our designers will explore all the possible options to maximise your space, and that includes looking upwards to see how we can make use of the height in your room. From stacked appliances and floor to ceiling units to gorgeous display shelving and hidden storage, we will make the most of your space without compromising on style or functionality. You will be presented with at least three or four design options all optimising the space you have available.
Being clever with your colours
Small spaces can feel much smaller with a dark or busy colour palette. However, that’s not to say that white is the only option.
Whilst for us, kitchens extend far beyond aesthetics, it is key for our designers to consider all avenues to create you the perfect kitchen. Lighter colours will help to brighten the space and keep it looking fresh and open. Our designers will create a stunning look for your new kitchen and will incorporate stylish touches that ensure your taste and personality is reflected.
Utilising natural light
The key with a small space is to make the most of natural light, whether that be through floor-to-ceiling windows, sky lights and open planning.
If natural lighting is also limited, fear not! Our team will also utilise our range of expertly crafted lighting solutions , including:
- Under cabinet lighting
- LED tape on unit bases
- Vertical LED strips
- Lighted shelf units
Integrating your appliances
A great way to maximise your space is to ensure appliances are integrated where possible to free up worktop space and avoid any loss of space due to poor fit. All our cabinetry is rigid built and custom made for your kitchen. This means that all spaces can be designed with your appliances in mind. At Prestons, we work with you to determine what is required from your kitchen and appliances are no different. We work with only the best suppliers, including Quooker, Neff and Bosch, to ensure every inch of your kitchen is working hard to make your life easier. From built in microwaves to Slide N Hide ovens, we’ve got you covered.
At Prestons, we won’t ask you to design your kitchen. We will chat to you to determine exactly what role a kitchen plays for you and then handover to our talented designers to create a range of solutions for your home. It’s our job to create your dream kitchen, you just need to enjoy the Prestons experience. And we are not in the business of selling you a dream you cannot afford. If you are considering buying a kitchen from Wren, Howdens, Wickes or B&Q, you should be considering Prestons too. Come to any of our four showrooms for a free design consultation and experience the difference for yourself.
