For that small kitchen

Here are few tips for your jam-packed kitchen which help you to transform the kitchen into a cozy retreat.

• Generally dark rooms feel smaller, so brighten up your walls with a fresh coat of paint in a light shade.
• Add lights to shelves and under your cabinets and good lighting makes a kitchen look bigger.
• Small kitchens don’t have the space required for large, rectangular pot racks, there are options for smaller spaces.
• Use industrial wall hardware and racks for utensil storage.
• Hang racks for utensils. A simple bar with some hooks can hold tools with a loop or hole in them. There are baskets that can be hung on the rack to hold smaller items.
• Roll-out kitchen cabinets or tables.
• Drop-down, wall-mounted tables or cutting boards.
• Find places to add shelving for additional storage. A row of narrow shelves, added to a kitchen island, can be perfect for cookbooks. Look for additional places including corners, or over a counter.
• Moveable bar on casters spans the gap.
• Counter seating at the kitchen’s island provides an area to chat with the cook. The woven rug ties the room’s colours together.
• The kitchen doubles as a dining room to save space and keep the clean-up simple.
