1. DRAWERS AND ORGANISERS: PRECISE ORGANISATION TO MAXIMISE WORKTOP SPACE IN VERY SMALL KITCHENS
The best advice on how to organise very small kitchens is to look inside. Often, the problem isn’t so much a lack of cupboards, but rather that the space inside them isn’t being used effectively.
Smart drawers with internal dividers, separators and custom-made compartments are ideal for storing cutlery and other kitchen utensils. You’ll see: when everything has its place, the worktop clears itself almost of its own accord. What’s more, visual order is essential in small spaces, where any clutter stands out all the more.
At Delta, one of our key solutions for very small kitchens is to opt for well-equipped interiors right from the start. We incorporate these features seamlessly, as you can see in our fittings and organisers: because tidiness is also part of the design. The 0-10 colour scheme helps to better structure the overall aesthetic. This prevents colours from clashing and creates a kitchen that feels balanced and inviting.

2. LIGHTING AND TECHNOLOGY: MORE USEFUL LIGHT AND LESS VISUAL STRESS
On the other hand, in very small kitchens, light does much more than simply illuminate: it also makes the space feel more spacious, creates a cosy atmosphere and has a calming effect. That’s why, when it comes to the best ideas for decorating very small kitchens, there’s always at least one that involves lighting.

Good general lighting is important, of course, but what really makes a difference is well-placed spotlights. Lighting under wall units, in display cabinets or even in interior areas helps you work more effectively, avoids awkward shadows and makes everything look cleaner and brighter.
What’s more, when lighting is discreetly integrated into the fitted furniture, it adds a touch of sophistication to the space. It’s a brilliant way to enhance functionality without adding visual bulk. At Delta, we see lighting as an integral part of the design, which is why our lighting solutions are always designed to enhance both the aesthetics and the everyday usability of your kitchen.
3. STYLISH HIGH CEILINGS: MAKE THE MOST OF VERTICAL SPACE WITH SMART INTEGRATION – THE KEY TO SMALL SPACES
When floor space is limited, height can be your greatest ally. Making full use of the wall space right up to the ceiling is one of the most effective solutions for very small kitchens, provided you strike the right balance:
- Well-designed wall units will help you maximise storage space without compromising on a visually uncluttered kitchen.
- The integration of the extractor hood, the microwave, the draining area, the openings, the design… will give the whole unit a sleek, uncluttered look.
- If you also opt for continuous fronts and vertical solutions tailored to the space, the sense of order will be greatly enhanced.
In our design proposals for wall units, we focus precisely on this idea: making the most of the upper space without making the room feel cluttered.
In this regard, solutions such as sliding doors allow work or storage areas to be concealed when not in use, maintaining a clean, uncluttered look without compromising on functionality.

4. ACCESSORIES THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE: SMALL SOLUTIONS TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE
A well-integrated spice rack, a toilet roll holder in just the right spot, an interior organiser... Sometimes, the best storage solutions for very small kitchens aren’t the most obvious ones.
From opening a drawer and finding everything you need, to storing bread properly without resorting to makeshift solutions, keeping your worktops tidy, or ensuring loose items don’t take up half a shelf. These are simple gestures, but they all add up to a much more comfortable and liveable kitchen.
That’s why, when it comes to designing very small kitchens, at Delta we like to focus on those little touches that reduce visual clutter and make better use of the available space, such as our interior storage solutions.
5. FUNCTIONAL UNITS: THE UTILITY CABINET THAT SAVES KITCHENS
If there’s one thing that’s particularly useful in very small kitchens, it’s a functional column. When well designed, it packs a lot into a very small space: storage, cleaning, a pantry and even appliances.
Think of it as a practical storage unit that keeps things tidy. It’s ideal for storing cleaning products, small accessories or food, keeping them within easy reach without cluttering up the kitchen. What’s more, as it makes use of vertical space, it frees up the base units and worktop something that’s essential in small spaces.
6. SOLUTIONS FOR BASE UNITS: PRACTICAL CORNERS, EASY ACCESS AND BUILT-IN RECYCLING
On the other hand, try to make the most of your kitchen base units: for example, with pull-out shelves, accessible corner units and bottle racks, and always ensure they open easily. After all, there’s little point in having storage space if you can’t easily access it. On the other hand, when everything slides out towards you effortlessly, cooking, cleaning and tidying up are much simpler and more enjoyable.
You could also opt for built-in recycling in the kitchen: keeping bins out of sight improves organisation and helps you maintain a tidier look. This way, even the trickiest corners work to your advantage.
