Average kitchen sizes in new houses in Great Britain 1930-2020
The size of the average kitchen in newly-built houses in each decade since the 1930s has risen from its smallest size of 12.3 square meters in the 1930s, to their largest size of 15.4 square meters in the 1960s. From this point onwards, declining family sizes and the desire for separate dining areas has led to a decrease in kitchen size, and since 2000 the average kitchen size has been 13.4 square meters.
