Figuring out how to make the most of a small kitchen can be challenging. To avoid creating a congested environment for cooking, you must be creative with everything from wall to counter spaces and floor area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need a room you feel comfortable in and aren’t ashamed to display when friends come over if you want to make the most of a tiny kitchen. Fortunately, small spaces can be just as attractive as their larger counterparts if you correctly use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, we’re going to be looking at some of the best ways you can make the most of a small kitchen in a smaller overall living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leveraging the best out of your small kitchen means using the space wisely and practically. From accessing extra storage on your kitchen island to using open shelving to organise your pots and pans, there are several ways to make your kitchen seem bigger than it actually is. Some of the best ways to maximise your small kitchen include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t have much floor space in your kitchen and dining room, pulling the eye to the ceiling can make the room seem larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building up your kitchen walls with plenty of cabinets is a great way to make sure you have tons of storage space. A galley-style<\/strong> kitchen with plenty of open shelving will also give you plenty of space to showcase herbs and plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wall space is incredibly useful when you want to create the illusion of more space in your kitchen. It’s also worth drawing the eye upwards with beautiful paint, statement kitchen lighting fixtures, and anything else that helps open up the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember to use light colours when painting lower ceilings and avoid pendant lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plenty of light is one of the best ways to make any room seem a lot bigger. Natural light is best, so making sure there are windows in your kitchen with open blinds<\/strong> is a good idea. This will also make cooking easier without using a lot of electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional lighting can be useful too. For instance, integrated lighting is a real design saver for small kitchens because you can easily see what’s going on underneath cabinets and make spaces look less dingy and crowded. Start with your ceiling lights<\/strong>, then add additional decorative and spotlighting around the breakfast bar, open shelves, and prep space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
