I have a soft spot for small spaces. Having lived and worked in under 700 sq ft for oh, about ten years, I appreciate the ingenuity that goes into making a small space comfortable, stylish and..spacious. Bold choices in design, colour or texture are always a gem, and this week's kitchen has all of those in buckets.

From the subway tiled backsplash, to the box frame shelving vignettes, to the naked bulbs, to the scalloped edged breakfast bar, to the...is that lilac wood paneling?? Your eye bounces around this space taking it all in without you once realising just how small this kitchen ACTUALLY is.

There are many other things this space does RIGHT to emphasise style over square footage: wall mounted taps, doorless cabinets, fabric 'doors' on lower shelves and a simple chrome, lilac, pink and white palette. I envy how pulled together this space is. It's elegant, it's practial but above all it's stylin'.
