Small kitchens can be frustrating but renovation can help create the illusion of space.
Light colors on walls and cabinets reflect light and make the room feel open. Open shelving instead of bulky upper cabinets reduces visual weight. Glass cabinet doors also help.
Lighting is another trick. Under cabinet lights eliminate shadows and brighten counters. Reflective surfaces like glossy tiles or stainless steel appliances add to the spacious feeling.
Even the layout matters. A rolling island or slim cart can add prep space without crowding the room.
Final thought: Design choices can make any small kitchen feel bigger. What trick would you try first?
