- 6 Stylish Upgrades for Your Small Kitchen (DIY + Rental-friendly!) SMALL SPACE SERIES
Today we’re talking about small kitchens and all the creative upgrades you can make to maximize space and style. Here’s the biggest issue I see with small kitchens: they lack prep space. Once you lay out the obvious- cooktop/ stove/range combo, sink, and refrigerator, there might not be any room left on the countertop for appliances and gadgets, not to mention the pretty styling pieces.
This video is all about maximizing your kitchen needs and making the layout more efficient while adding DAZZLING style ideas to your small space. Whether you’re renovating and starting with a clean, blank slate or just looking to update your existing kitchen, you’ll want to give these tips a try!

Please do continue with your small space series. Not only is it useful for the young who have small apartments, but I am one of the 'granny gang' and am in the process of downsizing. So your series is most welcome. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and the support Felicity 🙏🏻☺️
I agree. Also, living in Europe most of the shown pictures are not considered "small" here. So ANY advice is greatly welcomed!!!
Ive commented on a few of this series already. Im building a 550sq foot tiny house- i am a young (50year ) disabled member of the granny gang. I started using a wheelchair in jan n the house i am living in now isnt accessible. So im trying to do a STYLISH, ACCESSIBLE, TINY house. I feel like im losing my mind. The 🏠 will be done in aug. Ur series could not have come at at a better time. Im cramming all ur kitchen videos this weekend as imwe are ordering everything in 2 days. Thank u so much julie. Please keep the videos comimg
Me too! But my small space is an apartment where I can't make major changes. Please, more on "fixing" rental spaces!
YESSSSS PLSSSS to a video about kitchen storage/organization!! 🙏🏼
So glad y’all are just as excited as I am!! 🙌🏻☺️
I agree! Please do. I have a small kitchen and small pantry. I am doing the best I can to use my space, but more tips are welcome!!
Opening shelving strikes me as a cleaning problem, especially in the kitchen. Dust is bad enough, but combined with steam from cooking or even air borne grease, no thanks. I can’t believe I am disagreeing with Julie, she is a goddess! ;-)
I totally agree with you.
Hate the open shelves for this exact reason... if you want to show things off, I think cabinets with glass doors would do the trick.
I think it depends. While I would never do ONLY open shelving, open shelves not right next to the stove, and for the very commonly used stuff (everyday drinking glasses and dishes) are getting emptied our frequently enough, at which time I’d give them a quick swipe.
I love the open shelves, looks very chic if you know how to stylish. The dust is not an issue for me.
I litterally hate open shelving almost anywhere.
Julie, a combo countertop and backsplash video would be great. A definite yes.
Yay, will work on it now S! Thank you for watching and the feedback 🙌🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu o
@@JulieKhuu You look like Angela Yee.
Julie, while I don't see eye-to-eye with you on everything, you have an amazing channel filled with practical design advice. I admire that you're not just another TH-camr with an opinion, but a formally trained interior designer. You deserve all the success!!!!
Thank you so much for watching and the feedback Josephine. I love a great debate and welcome your perspective always! 🙌🏻☺️
Just found this. This is the ONLY video I've found so far that shows truly small kitchens. Thank you!
Yes: styling countertops and backsplashes as well as storage for kitchens! This small space series is excellent!
Thank you for watching JM! I also have a kitchen design mistakes video on the channel now for more tips! 👍🏻☺️
yes, yes, yes, and yes plz to your favorite countertop and backsplash. also at 13:02, fantastic artwork with the kitchen space!
So much style in these kitchens for sure 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for reassuring my idea of putting more cabinets going up to the ceiling in my small kitchen. It leaves more room for the dogs!
Would love to see a kitchen storage ideas video!
Thank you for watching and the feedback Ann! 🙏🏻☺️
Yes pls Julie on the storage and organization tips!! Thank you for theses videos. My husband and I are in the midst of renovating our small beach condo and your videos have been the perfect blend of inspiration and know-how during this time. Your work and approach is very appreciated!
Thank you for watching Tania! Good luck with the renovation, how exciting! 🙌🏻☺️
Yes, yes, yes! Bring on the tips for storage and organization in the kitchen. I've already pared down to just the essentials but still desperately need help fitting everything into my small kitchen.
Purging is the first step for sure Carolyn! Thank you for watching, off to work on these organization videos now 👍🏻☺️
Yes...PLEASE 😊👍
Have you seen the Joseph Joseph cutlery organizer? I came across it in a small kitchen organization video about six months ago and I love it! I also use shelf risers and lazy Susans in my cupboards, but I’m still tweaking my small-ish kitchen (as a renter).
Have a tiny dining room area--was thinking of some kind of banquette. Can't wait to see your small dining video!
It’s coming up next week Kay! Stay tuned 🙌🏻☺️
Absolutely smashing it with the content
Thank you for watching Dale 🙏🏻☺️
ANY AND ALL of your ideas are useful! Thanks Julie! 😘
Thank you for watching and the support Zee! 🙏🏻☺️
Those wall sconces over the sink are a game changer, I'm definitely going to do that in my kitchen, love the look.
So simple, but effective! 👍🏻
Yes, please: a video on colour palette and combo in the kitchen, as well as storage solutions video. This was an awesome video to watch
Thank you for watching Rene 🙏🏻☺️
Julie, you're my star ❤️ I love my morning coffee with your amazing videos, already looking forward to the next week!
Aw thank you so much for watching Kamila 🙏🏻☺️
Yes, please! A video about storage and organization tips for the kitchen will be much appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you for watching Olena 🙏🏻☺️
Always worth watching your ideas of creating beautiful, functional kitchen. Hank you Julie
Thank you for watching Preeti 🙏🏻☺️
This video was just what I needed Julie. I want you to do the video with the countertop and backsplash. Also address lighting issues I am undecided as to what kind of light to put in the kitchen. I just seem to like everything 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Gotta whittle down your favorite pieces, print them out and tape them up in the kitchen Geneve! Walk back and forth until you’re happy with the selection and can’t beat it! I tell all my clients that when they’re indecisive 🙌🏻😉
Nice ideas for small spaces. So stylish and functional. Thank you, Ms. Julie!
Thank you for watching Arlyn 🙏🏻☺️
Yes to the style guide! Also, I love the open shelf idea, but more for decor than dishes. The hygiene issue primarily. And no more chips or mismatches in my kitchen. New apartment, new dishware and silverware. Another thing that would be helpful for apartment or house rent- temporary changes without pissing off the landlord. We can't paint at all, let alone add tile or wallpaper. I have added lots of color with furnishings and accent pieces. Thinking of adhesive removable tile in the kitchen. Love your channel!
Love that you’ve found a way to personalize your space Patricia! Bonus points because you can take it all with you when you move 🙌🏻
Yes, lots of storage ideas, particularly pantry storage would be great. Thanks Julie.
Coming up Janice! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Yes please Julie with regards to counter and splash backs and any storage tips would be awesome x
Will do Afrodite, thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

Thank you for watching Susan! Check out my most recent kitchen design trends video- lots of timeless ideas to adopt into your refreshed space 👍🏻😊
I‘m again amazed and amused - the presented small kitchens are still double or more than small kitchens in Switzerland 😅
@Funky lundi And in Asian countries\ NarrowBoats\ etc….
Be great to see a vid covering these types of homes as well.
😆 Ah! So difficult to cover it all! I’ll work on a part 2 for non- US kitchens Andrea 😉
Thank you very much. Really looking forward to this. I move in a large old house by the end of July. The kitchen is tiny and worn down (50 years old). Let me know if you‘d be interested in the plans/layout... Even more demanding: my son is a chef...
Hi Julie, you continue to inspire me and also give me such a sense of hope that I will one day love my home. If I would like your help, how would that work?
Love love!!! Yes, storage & organization! Also, would love to see ideas for empty nesters/active couples with kids visiting from college. 😊
