After a busy day at work, preparing a meal for your family may seem like another fast-paced duty. But an updated kitchen can relax you and make you feel focused enough to brave the culinary storm. One of the leading kitchen remodeling challenges is overcoming limited space. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your small kitchen.

Tips for Small Kitchen Remodeling

1. Think Bright & Light

One of the quickest ways to make a tiny space feel expansive is to brighten it up. You can paint the room a white or beige shade and install white countertops and cabinets.

Or strategically use lighting fixtures. Install incandescent lighting underneath cabinets to brighten the counter space below. Use spotlights to create light and dark contrast throughout the kitchen.

2. Make Your Cabinets Count

Don’t use counter space meant for food preparation to store your utensils—it makes the room look cluttered and limited. Consider kitchen remodeling to install pantry and wall cabinets. They should extend from the ceiling to the floor. If you have a kitchen island, add shelving under the island countertop.

3. Open Up the Kitchen 

Knocking down a wall between the kitchen and the dining room creates an open-floor layout, which adds square footage to your kitchen. You can also install pot racks above the island to give the room a visual lift, and you more cabinet space. Finally, replace cabinet doors with glass ones to remove barriers and create the illusion of continued spaces.
