The distribution of the furniture in a small kitchen must be designed to enable an easy opening that will not hinder our movements in the area. Take just one tall furniture unit to store cooking utensils and combine it with other bits of lower furniture so to not overcrowd the space. It is important to keep order in small kitchens and try to leave some free wall space for a feeling of increased space. If you do not have enough storage space for kitchen utensils, mount hooks on the wall for the tools you use everyday.

Folding tables are an ideal way to have a larger work surface where, other than cooking, you can eat and do other activities. It is best to anchor the table to the wall so you can access it when you need it and leave more free space when not in use.

Light colors are the most suitable for the walls and furniture of a small kitchen, although white is undoubtedly the best color for space and light. On the walls you can use paint, tiles or a combination which will give your kitchen a very modern look.

If you want to maximize the space in your kitchen, install sliding doors to make staying in the kitchen and moving through the kitchen space more comfortable. In addition, sliding glass doors are ideal to let in light and achieve a feeling of greater spaciousness.

5

Good lighting is a key factor when decorating small kitchens. If your kitchen has external windows it is important not to cover them with furniture and use their natural light during the day. Place some bright spotlights in the ceiling to create different spaces and light-up well the areas that are used in the preparation and cooking of food.

Stainless steel appliances like fridges, microwaves, dishwashers, etc. are ideal for small kitchens as they act as a mirror and help visually expand the area. Try to use basic and small sized appliances so as not to make the kitchen feel too cramped.
