Well, continue reading for tips and tricks by our professionals, allowing you to introduce this style into your kitchen revamp.

1. Traditional touch

The U-shaped design allows you to take full advantage of your kitchen and fits perfectly into all corners of a petite layout, maintaining storage and workspace.

2. A modern angle

This may be a simple modern all-white design, but its sleek appliances and bold splashback are a statement making feature.

3. Delimit space

It is essential to take the dimensions into consideration when planning your design, especially if you have an open plan kitchen.

4. Fresh

When natural light and fresh air are a feature in your kitchen, it will be a lot more comfortable during those marathon cooking sessions. This design is classic and tasteful, while the marble surface is an excellent choice.

5. Originality

Just because you like the idea of a U-shaped design, doesn't mean that you need to opt for the ordinary. Go for something curvy and your kitchen will be eye-catching.

6. Wonderful white

The small kitchen is pretty perfect, from the minimalist all-white cabinets and walls to the pop of colour from the statement making stools. It's brilliant from all angles with storage placed in the best corners.

7. Contrasts

Wooden doors, marble counters, white walls and stainless steel appliances make this beautiful kitchen one to admire for its spacious layout and luxurious atmosphere.

8. Textured mosaic

A gorgeous mosaic splashback is an awesome way to introduce texture and colour to this otherwise average monochrome kitchen and with double storage, you'll never run out of space.

9. Different and daring

Our final U-shaped kitchen is decorated in black and white with an interesting mosaic wall adding colour to the simple design. Are you guilty of these 12 common kitchen design mistakes?
