Few things pose as many challenges in the design world as small kitchens. When square footage is limited, it's hard enough to find room for all your essential appliances (and no, that doesn't include a dishwasher), let alone ensure your space meets all the traditional criteria for a well-designed kitchen. Sometimes, you're forced to throw a few so-called "rules" aside.
For years, a set of fogy standards have dictated what constitues a "good" kitchen design. From the eminent "golden triangle" to staunch "open-concept-only" defenders, there are so many outdated kitchen rules that just don't have relevance in today's world, let alone in small kitchens with limited floor plans.
