The time has finally come to remodel your kitchen! The stakes are high, but you’ve been dreaming about this kitchen remodel for a while. There’s only one issue: Your kitchen is small. While this might seem like a design challenge, remodeling a small kitchen is easier than you think. In this article, we’ll talk you through some of our favorite cabinet designs for small kitchens—helping you create an open space that works for your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Before you start exploring cabinet designs, it’s important to consider the overall layout of your kitchen. The goal here is to create a kitchen that feels cozy, not cramped. While reviewing the current layout of your kitchen, strive for a compact, sensible layout. Not only will this maximize the functionality of the space, but a resourceful design will also create less dead space—encouraging you to get creative with vertical cabinet designs. The galley or corridor-style kitchen is a great layout for those smaller kitchens. Here, the goal is to create as much counter space a possible by clustering appliances in the same area and reserving storage for upper and lower cabinets.
Choosing the right colors for your small kitchen is also important, as some hues can create the illusion of a larger space. This little trick works well in small kitchens with light cabinets, or natural wood grain cabinets, and a lot of natural light. The natural light will reflect the bright colors, creating an airy environment. If you don’t have a lot of natural light in your kitchen, consider installing lighting under your upper cabinets.
To maximize the space in your small kitchen you need to make sure that you are taking advantage of every square inch of available space in the room. Installing floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is one of the best ways to achieve this! An even better way is to invest in custom cabinetry. With it, you’ll be able to exactly measure the cabinets to your needs, ensuring a perfect fit with no dead space.
When it comes to designing cabinets for your home, choosing a customized product is the only way to go. You’ll not only have the freedom to create a layout that truly meets your needs, but you’ll also have access to professional design guidance—helping you achieve your vision without DIY hiccups.
