How to Make a Small Kitchen Feel Spacious
Sometimes, people say they think their kitchen is too small for us to work on – but this couldn’t be further from the truth. A bespoke kitchen isn’t necessarily a large kitchen; it’s a kitchen that’s been designed for your home and your lifestyle. You just need to make smart choices when you don’t have much room. Here’s what you can learn about making a small kitchen feel spacious:
Let in natural light.
When designing a small kitchen, try to make sure the wall cabinets clear the windows by a good few inch. It might sacrifice storage space, but it will let in light and make the room feel more spacious.
Be clever with storage space.
The secret to making a small kitchen work is getting the most out of every space. For example, try to add an angled corner unit so you would get an extra few inch of storage. Open up the corner cabinet, so the space could be easily used. You can even create a built-in serving tray so a spare couple of inches wouldn’t get wasted.
Use light, bright colors.
It might seem obvious, but it’s an easy mistake to make. Often, people decide on a color scheme without considering how it’ll impact the light in the room. Dark or mid-tone colors can really make a space feel smaller, even if you only use them on one wall. Your safest bet is to stick to something light and bright; even when choosing the worktop and appliances.
Keep it simple.
When your kitchen is small, it’s best to keep things simple. Lots of color, detailing, or pattern can feel busy and fussy – it’s visual clutter you don’t need. Any style of kitchen can work in a small space if you take a minimalistic approach.
