Small Kitchen Plans that Would Make it Seem Huge

The kitchen takes up most of our time. Prepping meals takes way more time than eating them, and then washing dishes is next. The more time spent in the kitchen, the messier it gets in your small kitchen. And let’s not even get to the number of family members.

We have come up with a few tricks to make your small space breathable. Small kitchen spaces, if fully utilized, could be just as functional and visually pleasing. From re-painting your cabinets to a new shade to bringing back vintage styles, you could bring life to your compact kitchen even with a small budget. This is one advantage of a small kitchen: there will be less counter space and shelves, so a smaller budget. Small changes could be impactful without compromising space.

Use Every Hook and Corner

Even the awkward hook and corners could be utilized to save space. Make some shelves or cabinets in that corner or just put decorations on it if it is not easily accessible. You would have a whole new space or an assorted area effortlessly beautifying your kitchen.

Buy Small and Buy Less

Space is valuable in a small kitchen. Instead of investing in large appliances, buy a small oven range, juicers, refrigerators, and other appliances. These would significantly enhance your kitchen’s appeal. However, if there is a large family, buying small appliances would be a headache as it could lead to more mess; in this case, you need to be mindful of where you can utilize space. This could work great if you can work with a small fridge but not a tiny dishwasher for your large family.

Buy less is another strategy to make the best use of functionality. Be practical and shop less if you have little or no storage space. Instead of buying onions and garlic for two months, shop for two weeks or less. This is likely to increase your market visits, but in the end, it is highly gratifying as you won’t be over-pressured when organizing your purchase in your small space.

Open Shelving

Closed spaces within a cupboard limit the use of storage. If there are free spaces, an organization is well-planned because not everything might fit within your small cupboards. Open shelving would take less space and are likely to hold more cutlery.

Add many hooks just below them and make great use of your walls. You could hang strainers, cups, and pans and style them with their size and color for better emphasis. Open shelving would give breathing space to your tight-spaced kitchen, allowing a balance in design without overwhelming you. It is great for claustrophobics. 

Lead the Eye to Open Space

You could create an illusion of space with eye-catching colors, vertical towering cabinets, or wallpapers with vertical design. If you have a corner that seems more comprehensive or breathable in your otherwise compact, using these methods, one could create eye movement. Lines and curves along the kitchen could make the rhythm needed to achieve that balance in design.  Lead the eye out the window or towards a walkway using dark colors, shadows, or a physical item like a thin and long rug that grabs attention.

Do the unexpected and add a dramatic color to the ceiling instead of the walls. You could use black or some other uplifting color, or a pattern in the ceiling with a wallpaper, or add texture. Viewers would ignore that your kitchen is small and will likely appreciate that spacious corner.

An All-white Kitchen

What better color than white to make your cooking feel spacious? An all-white kitchen doesn’t have to be bland; you could add texture, different patterns of tiles, and different materials like wood, metal, and marble to give it character. You could easily rely on us to give your kitchen a personality. Adding these different white textures could eliminate the risk of going bland.

A bonus to this airy space would be a window, allowing the morning sunshine in your kitchen, and you can enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views while you cook your delicious food. Make the surface glossy to reflect the natural light and make the kitchen more spacious. White itself reflects light to get the maximum impact of spaciousness.

Multi-functional

Another space-saving strategy while also fulfilling your kitchen island dream is to add a tall dining table with high chairs, which could be used as both your dine-in and your kitchen island. You could cut vegetables here while also adding a sociable space to your kitchen through this island.

The kitchen is ideal for conversations among family members, so take this opportunity to use this tabletop for multiple things. When it feels too cramped, you could easily move it into the living room area.

Add Art

Are you creative? Add your personalized touch to your kitchen by adding art. Art can be a great way to accessorize your kitchen on a budget. You would find a lot of online pages and local stores to buy art that suits your style, or you could designate this assignment to us, and we would match a painting with your style or get it customized for you. Moreover, small kitchens need more shelves and counter space to fill in decorations. Adding a vertical art that takes only wall space could save space while enhancing your kitchen.
