Have you ever thought of making that small space kitchen of yours a bigger one? You don’t have to bother calling a contractor just yet.

Kitchen design is one of those projects that never seem to end, especially as the trends change over time. If you’re working with small spaces in your kitchen, you don’t need to tear down anything to make it feel bigger.

A creative idea of what you want and how you want your small space to look like will give you the best result. With a bit of creativity and know-how, you can stretch your kitchen without adding or having to spend much in paying a contractor.

Furniture house suggests that these design tips will make your tiny kitchen look and feel more spacious.

– GO WILD WITH WHITE PAINT

White paints reflect light and it can make your kitchen feel open and airy. Use similar white tones on kitchen cabinets and countertops, and camouflage by painting them the same color as the walls.

– LET THERE BE LIGHT

A dark, dim kitchen can feel gloomy and small. Consider putting up sheer curtains or removing curtains entirely to allow sunlight to brighten the space. Choose opaque-colour curtains that let the sunshine in, especially in a narrow room.

– ELIMINATE CLUTTER

De-cluttering surfaces can have a dramatic impact on the openness of a room. To make your kitchen feel more spacious, keep kitchen counter space clear and store appliances in the cupboards.

– TAKE ADVANTAGE OF VERTICAL SPACE

In a small kitchen, storage and floor spaces are often scarce. Take advantage of vertical space by installing hanging shelves, peg boards, and magnetic knife strips on your walls.

– SPRING FOR PANEL-READY APPLIANCES

Panel-ready refrigerators, dishwashers, and other appliances are designed to have customizable doors so they match your cabinets and kitchen walls.

–  CREATE OPEN SHELVING

Open shelving can create an airy, sophisticated look when stocked with a carefully curated selection of attractive serving-ware.
