Small kitchens can be frustrating because you are limited in space and movement. However, you can consider a few remodel ideas to make your space feel bigger. The following tips will enhance your space, and these ideas fit with any budget:

1. Get creative with paint

This is an easy and cost-effective way to remodel a kitchen. Incorporating creative painting strategies can add drama and create the illusion of more space. Using light and neutral colours will make a small kitchen look bigger, and keeping your ceiling white will also help. You can also paint dark cabinets a lighter colour or keep the bottom cabinets dark and paint your upper cabinets a lighter colour to create the illusion of height.

2. Add open shelving or replace cabinet doors with glass

This will make it seem like you have more space and is a great opportunity to eliminate clutter. To make this trend work, stick with a colour palette. Place all white or all blue dishes on display, for example, and store mismatched dishes elsewhere. Balance smaller and larger items and keep the items you use daily close by to ensure your kitchen is functional. Items you don’t use every often can be placed on higher shelves.

3. Try geometric patterns

This idea is great for small kitchens because geometric patterns add texture and depth. It can trick the eye and make your space feel bigger than it is. To add geometric shapes, you can use tile, wallpaper, or a floor runner. Don’t overdo it, however, because adding too many geometric patterns can make your kitchen look chaotic.

4. Add mirrors or mirrored surfaces

Mirrors reflect light, opening a space and making it seem bigger. Consider adding a mirrored backsplash or an actual mirror to your small kitchen.

5. Connect your kitchen to the outdoors

Do you have an outdoor space right outside your kitchen? Then, consider adding French doors during your renovation. This will allow lots of natural light to enter your kitchen, making your space much bigger.

6.  Add accent lighting

Accent lights remove shadows and open a space to make it look bigger. Adding accent lights to shelving or underneath cabinets is especially effective. Your kitchen will feel larger, and the lights will also increase the functionality of your space.

7. Streamline your storage space

Lack of storage is a big problem with small kitchens. Decluttering from time to time is highly recommended. Once you eliminate the items you don’t need or use, invest in organizational elements like corner cabinets to hide pots and pans while keeping them accessible.

8. Add horizontal stripes

If you want to make your kitchen appear wider, we recommend adding horizontal stripes. It creates an illusion of a bigger-looking kitchen. You can do this with horizontal striped wallpaper, tile, flooring, or rugs.
