That is why each component in a small kitchen design must be perfectly planned and well positioned.<\/p>\n<p>This means that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homefix.bh\/en\/blog\/design-a-small-kitchen-ideas-to-design-your-small-kitchen-easily.html\">designing a small kitchen<\/a> can often take more time and effort \u00a0than designing a much bigger one.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are designing a new kitchen or remodeling \u00a0your old one,\u00a0 you can follow \u00a0some of these tips to make the most out of your small kitchen design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is how you make a small kitchen feel grand:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Be creative with the kitchen table<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Be_creative.jpg\" alt=\"Be creative with the kitchen table\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Be_creative.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Be_creative-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You may not have the space for a full dining table, but maybe you could find a cute small table to add to your small kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Opt for a round table, and pick table and chair designs that block the least amount of light to increase the sense of space.<\/p>\n<p>A circular table can save so much space in a small kitchen design. A movable table could easily do that trick too.<\/p>\n<p>Or you can use a bigger kitchen table if you lose the chairs and only put \u00a0chairs on two ends.<br \/>\nIn this case, you could tuck extra stools underneath to pull out for extra guests when needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Stick to the color pallet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/color_pallet.jpg\" alt=\"Stick to the color pallet\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/color_pallet.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/color_pallet-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A strict color palette will help your small kitchen look pulled together and streamlined. Using one color in a space will blur the lines making it appear more spacious.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not want your kitchen to dominate your open plan space, going with an all white pallet in your small kitchen design will help it vanish into the background.<\/p>\n<p>But if that leaves you yearning for color in your space, add a splash of color with some bold accents.<\/p>\n<p>Use color strategically so it flashes rather than dominates, try to limit bright colors to your accessories and appliances.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Look up<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Look_up.jpg\" alt=\"Look up\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Look_up.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Look_up-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vertical lines can give the illusion of seeing a far taller and grander \u00a0space than what is really there.<\/p>\n<p>Minimize chopped \u00a0horizontal lines to visually stretch your little kitchen vertically. You can even consider hiding drawers behind two smooth doors.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, floor-to-ceiling cupboards maximize storage in a small kitchen design as well as making a room look taller.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Think outside drawers and cabinets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/drawers_n_cabinets.jpg\" alt=\"Think outside drawers and cabinets\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/drawers_n_cabinets.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/drawers_n_cabinets-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More drawer or cabinet space is not always the answer. With the use of a collection of rails, hooks, baskets and racks, a blank wall can be transformed into a fun storage space.<\/p>\n<p>A cutlery drawer for example may be a luxury you cannot afford in a small kitchen. In that case, consider other options such as decorative cutlery stands.<\/p>\n<p>Not only utensils, pans and towels that can be hung on a wall storage but also fruits and vegetables. Think of hanging a vegetable basket for instance.<\/p>\n<p>A lack of work-space is often considered the most annoying thing in a small kitchen. So instead of having fruit bowls cluttering up your kitchen island, go for baskets and hang them on walls.<\/p>\n<p>This adds more dimension to your small kitchen design and minimize clutter clearing your work-space.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Add a metallic sheen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Add_metallic_sheen.jpg\" alt=\"Add a metallic sheen\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Add_metallic_sheen.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Add_metallic_sheen-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cupboards with glass doors enhance the illusion of having space by bouncing light. Moreover, glossy wall tiles add to that effect.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to glass or mirrors on a wall, metallic colors bounce light around and add some glamour to the space making it appear more grand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Scale it down<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Scale_it_down.jpg\" alt=\"Scale it down\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Scale_it_down.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Scale_it_down-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you do not have room for a full size island, think of adding a slimmer one rather that foregoing one at all. This will add some valuable work-space into a small kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Also consider using smaller appliances, seek out the smaller version of everything you will need in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Make use of any available space<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Make_use__available_space.jpg\" alt=\"Make use of any available space\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Make_use__available_space.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Make_use__available_space-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Space is a valuable commodity in a small kitchen, so try to make the most of any given space.<\/p>\n<p>If you have dead space on your kitchen wall, you can make use of it with a beautiful pullout pantry cabinet<\/p>\n<p>Or add a nifty niche in the dead space next to the oven. Or build some open shelves on the outside of the peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, use wall space or even the end of an island or a peninsula for hooks or a rail to hang tea towels, pots, pans and utensils.<\/p>\n<h3>To read more about kitchen design see also:<\/h3>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/design-outdoor-kitchen\/\">A culinary oasis: How to design an outdoor kitchen?<\/a><\/h4>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/house-essentials-kitchen-island\/\">House Essentials: Add Functionality And Creativity To Your Kitchen Island<\/a><\/h4>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weetas.com\/article\/kitchen-remodel\/\">Best Tips For A Successful Kitchen Remodel<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<\/header>\n<\/header>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A kitchen has to run smoothly to be functional, it also has to look good to make you happy.
