Why We’re Sheffield’s Go-To for Small Kitchen Design
Small kitchens are often found in city apartments, Victorian terraces, or new-build developments, and to date we have completed many small kitchen designs across Sheffield including in Ecclesall, Hillsborough, Walkley and Meersbrook. Many kitchen retailers shy away from the challenges of compact spaces, yet at Square, we relish them! Designing within constraints requires creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of how to make every centimetre work harder.
From awkward corners in Nether Edge to narrow galley kitchens in Crookesmoor, our expert Sheffield kitchen design team knows how to unlock space you didn’t know you had to give you a highly functional and visually stunning kitchen space.
Custom Small Kitchen Furniture That Fits Your Home
At Square we specialise in Nobilia, Schüller, and Next125 – three of Germany’s most respected kitchen furniture manufacturers – all known for their flexibility, precision engineering, and outstanding finishes. Their modular ranges allow us to create truly made-to-measure kitchens in any size, colour or configuration you require.
We can adapt unit depths, adjust internal shelving heights, stack wall units vertically to capitalise on ceiling height, and reduce cabinet widths to fit narrower spaces. From ultra-slim base units for tight corridors to ceiling-high larder units with clever access, we offer hundreds of configurations suited to small kitchens in Sheffield homes.
Kitchen Appliances for Small Spaces
As well as our kitchen furniture brands, we carefully select appliances that bring full functionality into compact kitchen environments. Our appliance partners – Siemens, Bosch, Neff, and Quooker – provide outstanding performance with many space-conscious options including:
- 45cm wide dishwashers – ideal for one- or two-person households
- Reduced-depth ovens and combi-microwaves from Siemens or Neff
- Slimline induction hobs with built-in extraction
- Boiling water taps from Quooker – replacing bulky kettles and saving worktop space
Our experienced Sheffield kitchen design team are also on hand to help you choose the right kitchen appliances to suit your space, lifestyle and budget. Whether you’re working with an open-plan layout and need a quiet dishwasher, or you’re keen to streamline your cooking zone by combining oven and microwave functions into a single compact unit, we’ll guide you through options that enhance both practicality and design.
Small Kitchen Layout Ideas: Tailored to Sheffield Homes
No two kitchens – or households – are the same, and your kitchen layout needs to reflect how you live, cook, and entertain. Whilst we always tailor a design entirely to your space, here are some of the most effective small kitchen layouts:
- Small Galley Kitchen
Perfect for long, narrow rooms – often seen in period properties in areas like Abbeydale and Sharrow. A galley kitchen layout allows for plenty of cabinetry on either side with a streamlined workflow. We often install tall storage at the ends to frame the space while using handleless cabinetry to create a clean visual line.
- Small L-Shaped Layout
Ideal for small square rooms, an L-shape kitchen design opens up the kitchen while allowing for a small breakfast bar or table. We use corners effectively with Le Mans corner pull-outs and rotating shelves that bring deep storage fully into view.
- Small One-Wall Kitchens
Popular in studio apartments or open-plan conversions, especially in Kelham Island lofts. These kitchens look simple but require clever planning. We use vertical storage, integrated appliances, and push-to-open cabinets to keep the aesthetic clean and modern. - Utility-In-A-Cupboard
If space is very tight, we can even house washing appliances in a hidden tall unit – great for apartments with no separate utility.
Best Colour Choices for Small Kitchens
It’s often said that lighter colours can make a room feel larger – and there’s a lot of truth to that. However, when it comes to designing a small kitchen, the right colour scheme involves more than simply opting for white. The tone, texture, and finish of your cabinetry all play a role in how open, airy, and balanced your space feels:
- Glossy or satin lacquer finishes in soft tones like cashmere or sand reflect light beautifully
- Two-tone combinations (e.g. light wall units with darker base units) help break up the space and draw the eye upward so that dark kitchen cabinets won’t overwhelm a small kitchen space
- Mirrored splashbacks or smoked mirror upstands can add depth and amplify light
- Integrated LED lighting under cabinets and inside drawers improves visibility and creates atmosphere
Our Sheffield kitchen showroom has all these finishes, and more, on display. Call in to browse or book our free kitchen design service and we’ll help you choose the best small kitchen colour palette that suits your style while enhancing the feel of space.
Small Kitchen Storage Solutions That Work Overtime
Smart storage is essential in any kitchen, but especially so in compact kitchen layouts. At Square, we integrate high-spec kitchen storage solutions that improve access and usability while keeping your surfaces clear and uncluttered. For example:
- Tall pull-out larders that rotate for easy access
- Le Mans corner units that swing trays fully out
- Slim drawer organisers and internal pull-outs
- Foldaway breakfast bars and extendable tables
- Overhead storage that reaches ceiling height
- Stackable wall units for vertical capacity
- Toe-kick drawers for hidden plinth-level storage
According to research by Blum (a leading manufacturer of kitchen fittings), effective kitchen storage can increase a kitchen’s usability by up to 55%. That’s exactly the kind of space gain our small kitchen specialists aim to deliver.
