7 Ways to Make Your Small Kitchen Look Bigger

October 13, 2020 by Jackie

It’s hard to concentrate on preparing a decent meal when your kitchen is cramped and cluttered. Here are five ideas inspired by the DIY network that will help you open up your kitchen and make it a more pleasant working space.

Sleekness
Modern, updated appliances actually do a great job at condensing space and making your kitchen seem bigger. You can update one piece at a time or pull out the big guns and do an extreme kitchen makeover. Newer appliances also help cut costs as well.

Combining

Keep counter space clutter-free by having your stove top and oven in the same area. Have your microwave built into your cabinetry, and store all small appliances away. But keeping things together, it expands the space in your kitchen.

Natural Light

Create several windows and even a skylight to allow natural light in and open the kitchen up. The windows make the outdoors an extension of your kitchen and also give the illusion that things are brighter and more open.

Colors

There are a few things you can do with color to make your kitchen look bigger. First, you can install light-colored cabinetry and appliances. The lighter tones seem to make kitchens seem more open and friendlier. You can also just choose a low-contrast color scheme. This ties your kitchen together better, making it seem more open.

Declutter

Don’t clutter your kitchen with too many decorations or knick-knacks. It’s okay to add a personal touch to your kitchen, but don’t overdo it. Keep counter space free to open up your kitchen.

Glass Cabinets

For this idea, you can choose whatever kind of glass works best for your kitchen. Frosted, clear, or ribbed glass are just a few options. Glass cabinets open more space to your kitchen, which makes it look bigger!

Slender Furniture

Tall and thin tables and bar stools seem to be the best furniture choices to make your kitchen look bigger. Not only is the type of furniture important, but so is the material it’s made out of. Choosing products made from lightweight materials can make your kitchen seem more open.
