We asked you to show us your compact kitchen and share what you love most about the space. The ideas came from New Zealand, Sardinia, Venezuela, Croatia, Singapore, Latvia and more. Here are some of our favorites, all under 100 square feet.
Houzzer: Cindy Tham
Location: Singapore
Kitchen square footage: 83
Cindy Tham's kitchen was a blank slate when she bought it, but she didn't want to spend a whole lot on a remodel. She trimmed costs by using an existing tiled wall as a backsplash and choosing laminate cabinetry. A drying rack above the sink saves counter space.

This classic Ohio kitchen fits right in with the rest of the 1929 home's style. Houzz user feeny took cabinets up to the ceiling for extra storage. A cozy cooking nook with soapstone counters and an ivory subway tile backsplash nod to the kitchen's original era.

This Croatian Houzzer fell in love with stunning subway tiles she saw on Houzz, even though they're unusual in Croatian kitchens. The tiles were hard to find, but she hunted some down for her kitchen upgrade.

Houzzer: morgand62
Location: Austin, Texas
Kitchen square footage: 72
A hand-painted Mexican tile backsplash gives this Austin kitchen a dose of the city's quirky style. Moving plumbing around wasn't an option, so the homeowners stuck with the original layout and purchased an extra-narrow commercial refrigerator. A pull-out island and buffet server next to the fridge makes serving dinner easy and creates instant access to the home's water heater.

Location: Brooklyn, New York

This Brooklyn kitchen has no drawers, a single enclosed cabinet and one electrical socket, but you'd never know thanks to its cute and clever storage solutions. The owner added open shelving, Ikea hanging racks and a butcher block table built by her grandfather to get the flexible workspace she needed.

Bright yellow tiles and cabinets add interest to this 1900s New Zealand kitchen. Like many early 20th century homes in the area, this house has a narrow kitchen with a larger attached dining/living area. This Houzzer installed white refrigerators and cabinetry across from the large window to help reflect light around the space.
