Here at Online Furniture Design, we’re always conscious of spatial issues and we’re aware that most people don’t live in homes the size of those usually featured in top design magazines.
However, it’s not so much about the space you may or may not have. It’s all about how you use it.
We all know how uncomfortable it is to be elbow-to-elbow with someone in a crowded, cramped kitchen. Poorly arranged and designed kitchens can feel cramped when you’re the only one in it.
Here are some ways to maximize the space in your kitchen and make it feel as large as possible:
Select Narrow Furnishings
When space is limited, it is important to choose furnishings and appliances that appropriately fit the scale of the room.
The City Chic Large Kitchen Cart by Home Styles is longer than the average kitchen carts, but still maintains a slim profile.
This one-stop kitchen storage solution is constructed of poplar hardwoods and birch hardwood veneers in an espresso finish. Brushed nickel hardware and optional casters help ensure this cart will always be what and where you want it.
Paint the Kitchen White
With all the traffic and mess that a kitchen can generate, it may seem counterproductive to paint it white. However, painting a kitchen white will significantly open up the space. The key is to incorporate a number of textures and different shades of white in order to keep the room from feeling bleak and sterile.
When white flows form the ceilings to the counters, cabinets and walls, it results in a seamless effect in which the eye can’t locate a boundary. So the room immediately feels more expansive.
