Extracting the Best Space Usage for Your Small Kitchen

Have a small kitchen and looking for ways to make it look amazing? Wondering whether a remodeling project for a smaller kitchen is possible or worth it? If you are thinking on these lines, then rest assured that there is certainly lot of scope to make your small kitchen come alive and look as good as a larger space. Of course, you may not be able to fit everything you wish into your smaller kitchen area, but there is still a lot you can do to make it better and organized. Below are some ways in which you can make the best out of your small kitchens.

1. Make Smart Use of Cabinets

Have space under kitchen counters? Install additional cabinets under them or choose to save space by installing cabinets in trap door style – of course, if you’re willing to changing your flooring. If your kitchen counter space is already filled up and if you’re not willing to cut corners on your flooring think about alternate cabinets that can maximize your kitchen space. An option is to choose corner cabinets that fit snugly into a corner. Choose longer cabinets that give you vertical space rather than horizontal space. This not only keeps your kitchen less cluttered, but also gives you more storage space. You can go as high as you can reach up!

 2.Revamp Existing Cabinets

Look for scope in existing cabinets. In case your cabinet shelves are spaced apart so much, consider adding a few more shelves or storage sections. Before taking up this project, however, think about what you really plan to place in your cabinets – don’t just start on a revamping project for the sake of it! After deciding what you intend storing in there, add multiple levels and sections to create more space and include hangers to store ladles, knives or cutting boards.

 3.Get Creative

At times, getting creative can do wonders to your small kitchen. If you have an old kids’ wagon, a baby changing table or an entertainment center, you can create the perfect cleaning kit or a pantry for your kitchen. Choose a detached dishwasher that already has a counter top or get a roll-out dishwasher so that you can save on space. Hang pots and pans above your kitchen island or over your sink, if the island is already full. Move your cookware on to wall hooks to save room and you’ll be surprised at how great your kitchen looks.

 4.Use Space Wisely

Your kitchen and your store room are two different areas of your house and should therefore be treated differently. Avoid storing all your clutter in your small kitchen. For example, keep your dog’s dish outside and move your coat hanger to the porch or living room. Keep cleaning supplies in another area and free up your kitchen space for the things you need only for your kitchen. Also, use every inch of space that you have – your floor, walls and ceiling. Get creative and you will be surprised at how much space you have, even if your kitchen is on the smaller side. Use random items around your home creatively and you can certainly make the best of your space. For example, think about using old coat hangers near your cooking range to hold cookbooks that you can easily be referred to while cooking. 

Revamping your small kitchen to create the illusion of space can be a bit tricky, but it is certainly not impossible.
