If you have a small kitchen and do not have the space or the funds to repurpose your kitchen area, you are stuck with what you have. However, that does NOT mean that you cannot utilize your space better or make your kitchen area feel a bit more spacious. With our tips here, you are going to be able to transform your kitchen, or at least give yourself the feel of having more space available.
Use a mirrored backsplash
You cannot just magically create more space, but you can give the appearance of more space in your ktichen. This is where a mirror can work, it is glitzy without being over-the-top, it expands closed spaces, and it reflects light and color. Even though some people are worried that having a mirror might be a bit much to clean, you do not need any natural light to brighten up an otherwise cramped space.
Use your corners
Most people look at corners as ‘dead space’. The truth is that you can utilize this space, which gives you the appearance of more space elsewhere. You can opt for corner sinks or corner cabinets, which means that you are actively using the space that would otherwise go unutilized.
Only settle for an island with storage
Granted, this is one of the largest investments that you could make on our little list. However, if you do not have the right kitchen island, chances are that you will never fully utilize your space. If you have a kitchen island with more storage, it means that you are freeing up space that you would otherwise use to store pots and pans or other things.
Light can make a difference
We are not just talking about the illusion of extra space, but the type of lights that you are going to use makes a difference as well. You can use the ceiling to hang lights if you are limited on floor space. Hanging lights are going to give you the light you need, while not taking up any additional room.
You can add light to otherwise dark areas by using wall scones. This is especially helpful if you do not have a window in your kitchen. In order to brighten up the upper part of the room, you would want these scones at eye level.
The right paint opens up your kitchen
Having a small kitchen can feel either cozy, or cramped. This not only depends on how you furnish the kitchen, but it also depends on the color scheme that you use. You can make your kitchen appear more spacious because light green paint visually recedes. Light colors such as violet, green, and light blue all bring visual energy to the room. This provides the notion that your kitchen is an expanded space.
If you use plain white, your kitchen appears spacious and light. This is especially good if you want to open your space and paint your countertops and cabinets white as well.
