How to Remodel A Small Kitchen to Maximize Space

1. Use heights

Using vertical height is a space saver. If the kitchen has tall ceilings, tall cabinets that allow more storage and open up the space are a good choice.

2. Open shelves

Open shelving allows storage but gives a more spacious and open look. They cannot be crammed with things like closed shelves. But open shelves do provide a spacious feel to the room.

Floating shelves fit in narrow spaces and cannot accommodate a cabinet. Floating shelves allow this space to be used for glassware or dishes that add to the decorative look of the kitchen.

3. Using organizers effectively

Different organizers can help store more stuff neatly and in an accessible manner. Lazy Susan inserts in corner shelves in corner cabinets facilitate more storage that is also accessible. Organization inserts in cabinets will keep them tidy.

4. Built-in storage solutions

Having drawers or open storage on the sides of the kitchen cabinet makes use of space. Installing a pull-out cutting board is an excellent way to keep countertop space clutter-free.

5. Roll-out shelves

For effective use of space in base cabinets, roll-out shelves are a great option. They can be added to existing cabinets. Roll-out shelves allow the effective use of available storage and maximize the kitchen space.

6. Replace kitchen islands

In really small kitchens, rather than the conventional kitchen island, a rolling kitchen cart can be used. It can function as a kitchen island but can be used as a buffet table when entertaining or kept out of the way, maybe under the countertop, when not needed.

7. Lighting

A well-lit kitchen looks more spacious. Under-cabinet lighting makes it brighter for kitchen work on the countertop, as task lighting, and gives kitchens a larger feel.

8. Color for a small kitchen space

Lighter colors make the kitchen look bigger. Cabinets of light finish and lighter wall paints make kitchens appear larger than they are.
