Ways to Maximize Space in the Kitchen
When light colors are used, they boost a space's visual appearance. This is a proven theory.
The kitchen is one of the areas where clutter accumulates fast, and small appliances take up counter space. Utensils can get disorganized, with pans and pots stacked on the stove. Cleaning and cooking is a big challenge if the kitchen space is not optimized.
Here's how to maximize space in a kitchen:
Use lighter and brighter colors
When light colors are used, they boost a space's visual appearance. This is a proven theory. When remodeling, experiment with colors such as white, light taupe, antique white, or dove gray. White is the best option for a greater illusion of space. A color combination can also work. Apart from the cabinets, consider lighter-colored countertops.
Wide tiles
Wider, horizontal tiles tend to draw the eye making the kitchen space feel more expansive. Try adding this touch during a kitchen renovation to achieve the desired effect.
Choose open plan
There are many factors to consider when remodeling. To maximize space in a kitchen, taking down a wall is an option. The results can be stunning when professionals in the field handle the job.
Add light
A kitchen remodel should always incorporate more light. A well-lit area looks more spacious than a dimly lit area. Try cabinet lights, can lights, and pendant lights. When picking a lighting option, incorporate a reflective backsplash as it works better. If kitchen organization is not an issue, get glass cabinet doors, as they make the space appear larger.
Work on storage space
Storage space can be an issue, especially in a small kitchen. One can adapt fun ways to deal with such an issue during a renovation. Consider adding floating shelves where there is no cabinetry. Hanging shelves can work, and one can place smaller items in cabinets.
Hanging pot holders can clear space in the cabinets making room for more items. Creativity is essential here, and one should get professional installations. Try stacking smaller cabinets on the regular ones. It can be a cool way of adding style to the kitchen space.
Functionality is key
For smaller kitchens, functionality is the most essential element. It is not only about cooking but storage. It's not convenient to keep rummaging through cabinets trying to locate something. More functional features can be added to the space to maximize storage, ensuring everything is within easy reach.
Here are a few ideas:
Grouping dishware
Suspend shelves
Build a kitchen island
Put essentials on shelves
Eliminate duplicate items
Label storage canisters
Install pull-down shelves
Add shelves where possible
Create a drawer for electronics
