How to visually increase the space of a small kitchen

The kitchen is a part of the house, the decor of which determines the interior of the entire dwelling. The people living in the house are faced with the task of decorating this room so that it can be conveniently eaten and have a good time with guests.

If the kitchen is small, that is, no more than 7 ^m, then certain additional goals are pursued, for example, a visual increase in space without compromising comfort.

Currently, there are many ideas that allow you to make a functional and spacious room out of a small kitchen.

Colors

 According to professional designers, the room will look more spacious if it is decorated in neutral and calm colors. When creating the interior of small-sized rooms, preference should always be given to discreet light shades, for example, cream or pistachio. In design, it is better to limit yourself to two colors.

When you design a small kitchen, special attention should be paid to white. Thanks to its use in the decoration of ceilings, walls, floors and furniture, the space becomes visually much larger. Moreover, a kitchen executed in white tones will look extremely stylish. A popular design technique is to paint one wall with a bright color. Thanks to the game of contrasts, the room can be easily eliminated from the “miniature”.

Visually expand the space also allow chairs and tables made of transparent materials. Photowall-paper is one more method for visual increase in the room. But it is worth remembering that bulky patterns should not be used on wallpaper and other surfaces.

Brightly spotlights located along the entire ceiling area also make it possible to significantly increase the kitchen visually. For the floor, a longitudinal plank laminate or glossy tile would be ideal.

Household appliances and furniture

If we talk about furniture for a small kitchen, then the priority criterion for choosing here is the size. In any case, preference should not be given to miniature household appliances and small cabinets, since they visually not only do not expand the space, but also make it even more crowded.

An ideal option for a small kitchen is corner furniture, which does not take up much space.

Pedestals and tables devoid of sharp corners will also be equally suitable. Useful for small kitchens are hinged corner cabinets, complemented by spotlights.

The table is the most important element of the interior of any kitchen, including small ones. Preference should be given to a small rounded or sliding product. If the size of the kitchen does not allow you to place such a table in it, then you can use the design that attaches to the wall.

For a small kitchen, built-in furniture, custom-made and equipped with folding and sliding elements, is ideal. To save a lot of space the countertop will help, combining the stove, worktop and sink.

The color of furniture for a small kitchen is better to use a mirror, transparent and bright. When choosing household appliances, preference should be given to its built-in version, which does not take up much space. Consideration should also be given to how its quantity can be minimized. For example, you can buy not a microwave and an oven separately, but an electric oven, supplemented by a microwave function.

When decorating a small-sized kitchen, you don’t need to be afraid to use non-standard solutions. In this design, you can introduce any of your own ideas, of course, taking into account the above information.
