Are you fed up with your small kitchen, and are you considering ripping it down in order to start a remodel?

Unfortunately, not all people have the resources or the space to create the gourmet kitchen of their dreams. Don't worry if that's your reality. With a small space in your kitchen, you can accomplish so many things.

These small kitchen ideas will inspire you to be creative.

8 Tips For Small Kitchen Remodeling

Optical illusions are a great option for small kitchen designs. Here are some options that work for any budget.

1. Use Creative Painting Strategies

Paint is a cost-effective and simple way to transform a small kitchen. Paint can give a room drama and coziness.

These are some of the ways you can use paint to increase the size of your small kitchen:

Use light and neutral colors
Or, paint dark cabinets with a lighter colored paint. You can also keep the bottom cabinets dark and paint the upper cabinets in a lighter tone to give the illusion of height.
Pops of color can be added behind open shelving or on an accent wall.
Keep your ceiling white
Avoid matte paint. Use satin or eggshell to make the space feel larger.

2. Replacing cabinet doors with glass, and/or adding open shelving

You can give the illusion of having more space by adding glass to cabinets or replacing cabinets with open shelving. However, this trick requires that you keep your shelves clear of clutter. This can make your space look smaller and more cluttered.

You can use glass cabinet doors or shelves to create a functional space in your home.

Stay with a color palette. Put all-white or all-red dishes on display. But, keep mismatched dishes at home.
Balance smaller items and larger items
Keep your daily items close at hand, and place those that you don't use often on the higher shelves.

3. Geometric Patterns:

Geometric patterns for small kitchens are on the rise. Geometric patterns are not only fun to use, but can also be used to create illusions of larger spaces.

You can make geometric shapes from tile, wallpaper or kitchen accessories (e.g. a floor runner).

Don't add too many geometric designs. The more you add to your kitchen, the more chaotic it will look.

4. Add mirrors or mirrored surfaces

Mirrors open up space by reflecting light. Mirrors are available in both a real mirror and a mirrored backsplash.

Mirrors in the dining room of an eat-in kitchen will enhance its size and make it look bigger. A mirror in the dining space is thought to improve your ability to retain wealth.

5. Connect your Kitchen and the Great Outdoors

Do you have any outdoor space? French doors are definitely worth the cost. They'll bring light into your kitchen and expand the view out of doors, making your space appear larger.

6. Get some Accent Lights

Shadows are what our eyes love, and can make a small space seem cramped. Accent lights, especially for shelves and under cabinets, reduce shadows. This can make small spaces appear larger, which will increase its functionality.

7. Streamline Your Storage Space

A small kitchen is not only cramped but also looks and feels cramped.

We recommend spending time organizing your belongings, taking inventory, and doing so regularly. Take inspiration from Marie Kondo by going through your belongings. Keep only what you need. Are 10 spatulas really necessary? Do you really need two food processors and 10 knives?

Once you have cleared your clutter, you can make use of the space available by investing in organizational elements such as corner cabinets. Make sure to hide your coffee pot or toaster, and make them easy to reach.

8. Increase the space with horizontal stripes

We all know wearing wide horizontal stripes can make people appear larger than they really are. You can make your kitchen seem larger by adding horizontal stripes. These stripes are easily added using wallpaper, tile, flooring, or rug.

Hire a Contractor

It is possible to save money by doing a small remodel of your kitchen on your own. Sometimes, this may be true. However, this can lead to higher costs in the end.

The hiring of a contractor can help you avoid major problems such as electrical, plumbing, and structural issues. A remodel is not as simple as tiling and painting, especially in older houses.

You can save your time, money, and frustration by using a licensed contractor. They'll ensure your kitchen remodel stays in top shape for many years.

It doesn't matter if you're on a budget or have limited space. You can still have a beautiful kitchen. We have small kitchen ideas that can help make your space a focal point of your home.
