Many people view their kitchen as the most important room in the house—one where they cook, eat, and spend time with family and friends. However, if your space is too small for your needs, you may not look forward to entertaining or making large meals. Fortunately, you can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your compact room through kitchen remodeling.

How to Maximize Space in Your Small Kitchen

1. Choose Light Colors

Illuminosity is the key to making a small kitchen feel bigger, because a well-lit area creates the illusion of more space. As such, light wall paint and cabinet colors are ideal for compact rooms since they reflect light. You can enhance this quality further with high-shine surfaces, including countertops, backsplashes, and appliances.

2. Minimize Elements

Clutter creates a sense of visual chaos, which makes any space feel smaller than it is. For that reason, you'll want to avoid packing your kitchen full of optional elements, such as second ovens and storage carts. Additionally, consider opting for smaller versions of necessary fixtures and appliances, such as sinks and refrigerators, to make more room for countertops and prep areas.

3. Maximize Cabinet Space

Storage is one of the most challenging aspects of small kitchens. Thankfully, kitchen remodeling allows you to take advantage of previously unused space. For instance, custom cabinets can extend the top row to the ceiling, making use of space that's left empty in traditional designs. Also, if there's room for an island, make sure it includes cabinets and shelving for optimal storage.
