You should not allow your small kitchen space to limit your options when it comes to design. Definitely, you can only do so much with a small space but with proper techniques that include the use of unique storage solutions, combined with proper lighting and right appliances, you can have an efficient kitchen. Minimum clutter and maximum efficiency should be your goal when it comes to small kitchen design. Thus, you need to have enough storage space for your kitchen essentials. You may opt to use the adjoining closet or use a few feet from the next room for your storage if no space is available in your kitchen. In addition, you will also have to increase your countertop space by removing the items that would normally sit there. To accommodate more items for storage, throw the items that you usually do not use. Another way to maximize space is to install the island on casters or have a peninsula with hinged drop-down sections. Install your cabinets all the way up to the ceiling for added area to store your kitchen essentials.

Another factor that affects the look of your kitchen is lighting. If it is possible, install large windows to make the room brighter. To make your kitchen larger and brighter, opt for more light. To create an illusion of length, use horizontal lines for your kitchen cabinets. Light colors and monochromatic color scheme create an illusion of apparent space for your room. For your cupboard doors, use opaque materials such as frosted glass inserts to make your kitchen look lighter and larger.

When it comes to designing small kitchen, you surely need to have some creativity. Instead of doors, other homeowners opt for drawers. This allows you to have an extra 30% space for your storage. Consider downsizing your kitchen sink to have more counter space. You should also consider buying smaller appliances or opt for those that are multi-functional. Today, it is easier to find space-saving appliances, such as refrigerators that are less deep (24-inch deep instead of the usual 30-inch deep) or appliances that can be placed underneath the cabinets or hanging beneath them. Your kitchen's storage space and design should not be limited by its size. Whether for cooking, eating, or hanging out, your kitchen design should be carefully considered so that it can be efficiently used by everyone in the family. With this tips, hopefully, you will be able to maximize the size of your kitchen. Lastly, to make it easier for you when it comes to small kitchen design, you can seek advice of professional builder and designers.
