Are you incessantly scolded for the smallness of your kitchen? Are you fed up with that messy room that just gets on your nerves every time you walk in? Well, then it’s time you put in the effort to do something about it.
A smaller kitchen is not so bad after all. It is much easier to clean and organize than kitchens that are spread over larger areas and therefore relatively difficult to control. And what’s more, you can even add your exclusive style accessories to make it according to your taste and attractiveness. But the most important thing would be to give your kitchen a pseudo-bigger look.
This implies the use of explicit storage techniques. Get rid of those excessive cabinets that look like pegs and opt for tall pantry cabinets with the option of pull-out shelves. Make the most of light colors in your kitchen that will add dimension to the room and make it appear larger and install glass front doors to lighten up the workspace. Another option available is swivel inserts and tilt bins that will increase storage capacity within cabinets without taking up additional space. Refrain from using darker colors as paint or material as they make a room appear smaller.
Use smarter appliances that look stylish and put your oven and stove in the same area. This would leave you with an additional area of counter space. Also, install microwaves in cabinets for the same purpose. Take advantage of natural and additional lighting. Natural sunlight will help expand the space visually, and when paired with greenhouse windows, it can work wonders not only complementing the ambience, but also the workspace.
Another important tip would be to use the wall space in a balanced proportion. If something can be hung properly, make sure it is. But don’t use most of your walls, as it would make the kitchen look like it’s ready to be disposed of at a moment’s notice.
If possible, use other rooms in your home for storage, as the more you store, the more exhaustive the kitchen will look. To make it appear larger and less busy, it is empirical that the kitchen is clean with extra utensils and other gadgets out of the way. Last but not least, examine the fixtures, appliances and utensils, you may be able to identify many that don’t belong in the kitchen or that you haven’t used in a long time. Sometimes we tend to have food processing units in the store that need a little repair. Sort out wants and needs and stock your kitchen accordingly. In the end, don’t forget to add that little signature of ours to this cozy room by showing off simple, detailed little accessories.
