6 Fantastic Ways To Decorate A Small Kitchen

Having a small kitchen is very common these days. 

But do not worry!

In this article, we share 6 great tricks for decorating a small kitchen. Not only that, but you will enjoy doing it and they will give you a little personal touch in the room. They help you make it a functional but inviting room to prepare all your tasty meals.

The kitchen is not just for cooking or washing dishes. More and more people are using it to eat, relax with friends, and even spend their free time there. In fact, it is one of the places where we spend most of our time.

As a result, you should make sure that it is functional and looks beautiful. Organization and order are very important in a small kitchen if you want to get the most out of the whole room.

1. Use light tones

Bright colors are  perfect for making a room look bigger and brighter. Dark colors, on the other hand, tend to make rooms look smaller and feel more cluttered.

Therefore, the use of light tones will give a feeling of space, but also give some light. Some things you might want to think about are:

• Use bright colors, but not just white.
• To add color, try some subtle hints of them.
• Try tiling about halfway up the wall and then a light color for the top half.

2. Keep your kitchen organized

When space is limited for so many different tasks, such as in the kitchen, organization and order are crucial.

You need to think carefully about every single detail so that you can move around and comfortably open cabinets and drawers.

Remember that it is very important that you are able to do everything you need to do without any problems. Having a place for everything and keeping everything in place will make things much easier and more efficient.

• Use tall cabinets for dishes, glasses and cutlery.
• Try to leave a wall blank to give a sense of space.
• Use drawer dividers.
• Cabinets like when the roof will obviously provide more space to store things.
• The kitchen counter is the perfect place to store spices or kitchen utensils.

3. Insert an island

You can choose a fixed island or one with wheels. You can use it for many different tasks, and it will help you get the most out of what you have.

There are already many different types, styles and materials with different features. Choose the one that suits you best and adapt it to your needs.

• You can have a fixed island in the middle of the room.
• You can also have one on wheels so you can move it to where you need to use it.
• Use the top of the island as a breakfast table.
• You can even have a stove on it.
• In the lower part of the island you can have a large closet for more storage.
• You can even use it to  divide the room, as between the kitchen and the dining room.

Use all free space

You should try to find a use for all the different hooks in your kitchen, and keep them organized to get the most out of what you have.

Some things we recommend are:

• Use the entire wall. By this we mean from floor to ceiling. Use the tallest cabinets or shelves you can. This way you get a lot more storage space.
• Use boxes or baskets to keep the surfaces tidy. Keep your worktops tidy.
• Use the roof too! You can even hang a stand that is held up by links from the ceiling. This is a great way to store large utensils such as pots and serving spoons.

5. Stainless steel appliances

We recommend that you use stainless steel appliances in a small kitchen because the steel acts as a mirror. As you can imagine, this makes the room look much bigger and brighter.

You can find refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens and small appliances made from this material on the market.

6. Lighting in a small kitchen

You must try to get the most out of the natural light from the window, so do not block it with furniture or thick curtains. Instead, choose transparent, light curtains (such as white or beige).

You can also set up artificial lighting for when the natural lighting is not enough. It is best to use energy saving bulbs and consider the following:

• Put light on the places you are going to work in the kitchen.

• If you have a dining area, have lights over the table.
• Keep lights in your closets if they are made of dark materials or are very deep.
