Rhinelander, WI – [6/10/25] – Modern Interiors, a leading name in custom home design and remodeling, has announced a significant increase in demand for small-space kitchen remodels across northern Wisconsin. As home sizes shrink and urban-style living gains popularity in both cities and rural areas, homeowners are reimagining how kitchen space is used—without sacrificing function or flair.
With more people embracing minimalist lifestyles or downsizing for efficiency, the kitchen is becoming a central focus for strategic updates. Modern Interiors reports that in the past year, requests for kitchen remodels under 150 square feet have nearly doubled. Homeowners are prioritizing functionality, smart storage solutions, and sleek, space-saving appliances to make the most of their compact kitchen layouts.
“People want kitchens that work smarter, not larger,” said a Modern Interiors spokesperson. “We're seeing a clear trend toward multi-purpose cabinetry, hidden appliances, compact islands, and open shelving that maximizes every inch.”
The firm attributes this surge to both rising housing costs and the shift toward more intentional living spaces. Clients are opting for designs that blend storage, style, and workflow—especially in smaller homes, condos, cabins, and ADUs (accessory dwelling units).
Modern Interiors’ designers have responded with creative solutions, like installing pull-out pantry systems, custom built-ins, and bright finishes that make even the smallest kitchen feel open and inviting. Many homeowners are also integrating smart technology, such as touchless faucets and built-in charging stations, to make their kitchens as modern as they are manageable.
“We don’t just design kitchens—we solve problems,” the spokesperson added. “Small spaces require big thinking, and that’s where we shine.”
As demand continues to grow, Modern Interiors is expanding its design team and sourcing more compact and customizable materials to keep up with client needs. The company encourages homeowners considering a kitchen remodel—no matter the square footage—to consult with their experienced designers early in the planning process to ensure the best outcome.
