Small kitchen and no room to swing a cat? Well, this does not mean you have to go without. Given the enormous worldwide success of IKEA products, there are always ways to improve and transform your small kitchen.

For example, there are ways to make a fully equipped pantry out of a wardrobe, or turn a chest of drawers into units for the kitchen. Check out the projects below:

Let's start with the simplest project: a multifunctional trolley to keep everything close to hand. RASKOG is one of the best-selling IKEA products and for good reason: it's small, has an attractive and super versatile design, is roomy and helps to organize things efficiently. And you fill it with food items or utensil, or even cookbooks - or all of these... Super-convenient and it can be wheeled away when not needed!

Do you dream of having a nook fitted out with benches and a table, perfect for relaxed breakfasts, a quick snack or a quick lunch? You can create this by using the NORDLI chest of drawers. Add cushions, choose the table you like and it's done! And you'll also have space in each drawer to store extra items and keep things tidy.

This kitchen island was created with an iron structure to which bars were added at the bottom and a marble top added: we started from the simple KARPALUND model and converted it into something fit for a Parisian kitchen!
