Getting a kitchen that works in a small space can be really hard. We've fitted out loads of kitchens in Nottingham homes where space is tight - from old terraced houses in The Park to new flats near the Victoria Centre.
We're a family kitchen business that's been helping Nottingham families make the most of small kitchens for over 15 years. Our team knows all the tricks to squeeze every bit of use from your kitchen, no matter how small it is.
"Michael's team did wonders with our tiny kitchen. We didn't think we could fit everything we needed, but they proved us wrong!" - Linda from West Bridgford
Kitchen Furniture Shop Nottingham
Our Nottingham kitchen furniture shop has loads of space-saving options you won't find in the big stores. We've handpicked furniture that works in real Nottingham homes - not just the massive kitchens you see in magazines.
Michael (that's me!) has been fitting kitchens in Nottingham since 2009. I started the business after seeing too many poorly designed kitchens that wasted space. Now we've got a reputation for making small kitchens feel twice the size with smart furniture choices.

Fold-Away Options
When you don't have much room, furniture that can disappear when you're not using it is a gamechanger.
Drop-leaf tables
These are brilliant for Nottingham terraced houses. We fitted one in a Victorian terrace in The Park last month - the owners can have a proper dinner table when they need it, but it folds flat against the wall the rest of the time.
Wall-mounted folding surfaces
These are dead popular in Arnold and Carlton where kitchens tend to be narrower. We can install worktops that fold down from the wall when you need extra prep space.
Collapsible seating
Chairs that stack or fold away are perfect for when you have people round. One family in Beeston has chairs that hang on the wall when not being used - looks pretty cool actually!
Hideaway workstations
We can build you a hidden desk area in your kitchen for working from home. Lisa from Ruddington says this has "completely changed how I use my kitchen" since we installed one that slides away behind her pantry.
All these options are perfect for the compact kitchens you typically find in Nottingham terraces. We understand the quirks of local properties and design solutions that actually work.
Multi-Function Furniture
Why have furniture that only does one job when it can do two or three? That's our thinking anyway.
Table/island combinations
We've installed lots of these in homes around Nottingham. They work as a food prep area, dining table and sometimes even a desk. The Wilsons in West Bridgford reckon this "was the best decision we made" for their kitchen.
Storage seating
Bench seating with storage inside is brill for small kitchens. We did one for a family near Nottingham Market Square that stores all their kids' art stuff.
Work surface cabinets
Cabinets with pull-out worktops give you extra space when cooking but tuck away when you don't need them. They're really popular in the smaller kitchens we do in Carlton.
Convertible pieces
Furniture that changes function - like a breakfast bar that extends to a dining table - is something we're installing more and more in Nottingham homes, especially in newer builds around Mapperley.
Compact Dining Solutions
A place to eat is important, even in the smallest kitchen. Here's what works in Nottingham's smaller homes:
Space-efficient tables
Round tables often work better than square ones in tight spaces. We fitted a lovely round oak table in a cottage kitchen in Ruddington that seats four but doesn't dominate the room.
Nesting seating
Stools that tuck under tables or counters save loads of floor space. We use these a lot in the Victorian terraces around The Park area of Nottingham.
Bench/storage combinations
Built-in benches along walls are a great space-saver. We've done several in homes around Beeston where they've added storage and seating without making the kitchen feel cramped.
Corner dining sets
Corner seating makes better use of awkward spaces. In one Nottingham city centre flat, we turned a useless corner into a cosy dining nook that seats 5 people!
Our solutions are designed for the typical challenges we see in Nottinghamshire properties - from the narrow galley kitchens common in older homes to the open-plan spaces in newer builds.
Slim-Profile Storage
Storage that doesn't take up much space but holds loads of stuff - that's the dream, innit?
Narrow pantries
Even a 15cm gap can become useful storage. We installed a spice rack pullout in that width for a home in Arnold, and the owner says she uses it every day.
Gap fillers
Those awkward spaces between appliances? We can turn them into clever slide-out storage. One customer in West Bridgford keeps all her baking trays in a 10cm gap we utilized.
Vertical storage maximizers
Going up instead of out is key in small kitchens. We fitted floor-to-ceiling cupboards in a cottage in Ruddington that doubled their storage without taking up any extra floor space.
Pull-out organisers
Hidden storage that comes to you when you need it. We love installing these in Nottingham homes - like the pull-out larder we did for a family in Beeston that holds a week's worth of food in just 40 cm of width.
These solutions are making the most of limited space in Nottingham kitchens of all shapes and sizes.
Case Study: Small Space Transformation
Let me tell you about Sandeep’s flat near the Victoria Centre in Nottingham. She had a tiny kitchen - just 2.4m x 2.6m - and thought she'd never fit everything she needed.
We designed a kitchen with:
- A fold-down breakfast bar that doubles as extra work surface
- Wall cabinets that go right to the ceiling
- A corner unit with a clever carousel inside
- A slim dishwasher (45cm instead of the usual 60cm)
- A table that extends from 60cm to 120cm when she has friends round
Sandeep was well chuffed with the result: "I can't believe how much you've managed to fit into such a small space. My kitchen works better now than friends' kitchens twice the size!"
Before our work, Sandeep couldn't even fit a proper table in her kitchen. Now she can seat 4 people comfortably when she wants to, but the space doesn't feel crowded when she's on her own.
Modular and Flexible Options
Life changes, and your kitchen should be able to change with it.
Reconfigurable systems
We offer kitchen furniture that can be rearranged as your needs change. One family in Carlton has a system of cabinets on castors that they move around depending on what they're doing.
Mobile pieces
Kitchen islands and trolleys that move are brilliant for small kitchens. We provided a butcher's block on wheels for a customer in Mapperley that moves next to the cooker when preparing food but pushes against the wall when she needs floor space.
Expandable furniture
Tables and work surfaces that can grow when needed are really popular in Nottingham. We installed an extendable table in West Bridgford that goes from a 2-person breakfast table to an 8-person dinner table in seconds.
Adaptable solutions
Future-proof kitchens need to adapt. For a young couple in a Lace Market apartment, we created a layout that can easily change if their family grows or their needs change.
These flexible options are perfect for changing Nottingham household needs, whether you're in a period property in The Park or a modern flat in the city centre.
Space Planning Service
Not sure what would work in your kitchen? We can help with that.
Our space planning service includes:
Professional assessment
We'll come to your Nottingham home and take proper measurements of your kitchen. We've measured hundreds of kitchens across Nottinghamshire, from tiny galley kitchens to big open-plan spaces.
Custom recommendations
Based on how you use your kitchen, we'll suggest the best space-saving furniture for your needs. For instance, for a family in Arnold who bake a lot, we recommended pull-out worktops and vertical storage for baking sheets.
Layout optimization
Sometimes moving things around makes a massive difference. We helped a couple in Beeston gain an extra 2m² of usable space just by reconfiguring their layout - without changing the room size at all!
Expert advice for Nottingham property types
Different properties need different approaches. Victorian terraces in The Park have different challenges compared to new builds in West Bridgford. We know what works where because we've worked in kitchens all over Nottingham for 15+ years.
What People Ask About Space-Saving Kitchen Furniture
What furniture works best in small kitchens?
Multifunctional pieces are your best bet - things that serve more than one purpose. In Nottingham terrace houses, we often use extending tables, fold-down worktops, and tall but narrow storage units. The key is thinking about how you actually use your kitchen day to day.
How can folding or extendable furniture save space in kitchens?
It's all about having what you need only when you need it. A drop-leaf table can give you a proper dining space at mealtimes but get out of your way when you're not eating. We installed one in a Lace Market apartment that the owner folds out for dinner parties but keeps neatly folded against the wall most days.
What's the most versatile space-saving kitchen furniture?
A good kitchen island on wheels is hard to beat. It can be a prep space, dining table, or extra work surface, and you can move it where you need it. We supplied one to a family in Ruddington who wheeled it outside in summer for BBQs!
How do I choose space-saving furniture that doesn't compromise on function?
Focus on what you do most in your kitchen. If you cook a lot, prioritize work surfaces, even fold-down ones. If you eat in the kitchen daily, make sure your dining solution is easy to use, not something fiddly. We helped a lady in Carlton who loves baking choose slim storage for her baking gear that didn't eat into her worktop space.
What's the average cost of space-saving kitchen furniture?
It varies a lot based on quality and features. Basic space-saving items like wall-mounted drop-leaf tables start around £150-£300. Custom pieces like pull-out worktops built into cabinetry might be £500-£1000. Full space-saving kitchen furniture packages for Nottingham homes typically run between £3,000-£8,000 depending on size and spec.
Are wall-mounted kitchen furniture options practical?
Yes, if they're fitted properly! We've installed tons of wall-mounted tables, shelves, and folding worktops across Nottingham. The key is making sure they're secured to something solid. In older Nottingham houses with lath and plaster walls, we sometimes need to add extra support, but the results are worth it.
