Your kitchen isn’t just a cooking zone—it’s a system. By applying UX design principles, you can transform even the tiniest galley kitchen into a smooth, functional space.

Map the User Journey

Think about the sequence: fridge → prep area → stove → sink. Keeping this order logical reduces frustration and wasted steps.

Declutter the Interface

Just like a clean app layout, a clutter-free counter helps you focus. Store appliances you rarely use and keep only the essentials accessible.

Feedback Loops with Lighting

Good UX provides feedback. Under-cabinet lighting makes prep zones clear and functional, signaling exactly where to work.

When your kitchen layout matches how you actually use it, even a small space can feel seamless and efficient.
