Smaller kitchens need to be designed for practical and smart use so every inch can count. It does not matter how much space you have when it comes to the most important room in your home, rather what you do with that space. Make the most with the space that you have with the following small kitchen design tips.

Plan

First, ask yourself how you and your family use the kitchen, what is most important and least important and what you want to get from your kitchen. Differentiating use, want and need help to create an outline for your space.

Layout

Be clever with how everything is set up. U or L shaped kitchens are ideal for more storage. But, an open area that merges the kitchen with a dining room or family room opens up the area to create the illusion of a larger space.

Storage

Smaller kitchens need storage to be maximised to fit more. Additional storage is easy to add with multi layer draws and tiers in pantries eliminating clutter and making everything visible for convenience. If extra space is needed, think tall by extending cupboards to the ceiling. This creates less dust collection on cabinetry and effective storage.

Visual Illusions

Tricking your kitchen to seem like it’s bigger is a quick fix and cost effective. Mirrored material, glass and natural light can make a significance difference to your kitchen. Incorporate these tips through windows, skylights and a mirrored splashback. Avoid dark colours in the kitchen as it could make a small space feel claustrophobic. Choose fresh light neutrals to open the space and add splashes of colour on areas you want to accentuate like your bench top.
