Tiny Kitchen Remodeling Tips

Small Kitchen Organization Ideas To Maximize Space

If any kitchen must be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, achieving these two objectives seems to be a real challenge when it comes to a tiny kitchen. However, that does not mean that we should give up honoring this piece. With this in mind, here are some handy tiny kitchen remodeling tips you can make use of:

Maximizing Storage

As you have little space, it will be necessary to think of all the remodeling tricks which can bring you additional storage and thus free the space from the clutter caused by the dishes and the multiple appliances being in the kitchen. The first advice to give for this purpose is related to the storage that you can create for your appliances. Indeed, a microwave can easily be hidden in a cabinet, provided that it is not too stuck on the back of the latter to avoid the risk of fire.

Then take advantage of the full height of the wall to build large cabinets. This will allow you to take advantage of every corner available to store your kitchen items and your dishes. You can even integrate drawers near the ground level to store the bowls of water and food for your animals. Inside the drawers located at the height of the worktop, insert organizers. These are remarkably effective in maximizing storage and helping you from losing any available centimeter. Corner cabinets with swivel shelves are also great for avoiding space wastage in the corners of the kitchen.

To limit the loss of space caused by the opening of your cabinet doors, the latter should be fitted with sliding doors. You will gain precious space and much more ease in movement inside your tiny kitchen with this. In very small kitchens, even the dining table can be stored inside the wall if it is attached to the wall.

Creating Profitable Illusions

As in any other small room, painting with light colors will visually enlarge the perception of space in your tiny kitchen. If you like the idea of contrast, you could paint the lower section of your cupboards with a dark color and the upper part with a light color.

Mirrors can also be used, as their shining ability can also give the impression that the kitchen is actually much larger than it actually is.

Harness Multi Functional Furniture

As it has been clearly highlighted that a large number of cabinets are profitable for the storage of your kitchen items, it should also be specified that a multi-functional storage device is the best option for tiny kitchens. This allows you to directly integrate a dishwasher in the same cabinet as that which contains the cabinets. With this, you will not only avoid the clutter which this element would have created, but it will also blend perfectly with the decor.

Work On Hanging Your Knives & Spices On The Wall

As in any kitchen, it is very practical to have knives and spices on hand. Why not take advantage of the wall of your tiny kitchen to expose them? The storage modules for spices to screw on the wall near the stove will facilitate the preparation of good dishes at supper time. The knives, on the other hand, can be magnetized on a strip fixed to the wall. Also, the pans can be hung, thanks to a structure suspended from the ceiling.

Small Appliances: But Why Not?

Logically, when space is limited, the size of the appliances should be chosen accordingly. Tell yourself that all the space lost with a large fridge or dishwasher could be better harnessed if you invest in smaller appliances during your tiny kitchen remodeling process.

Open Your Tiny Kitchen To The Rest Of The House

A room closed in on itself will usually appear smaller than if it is open to the rest of the house. Thus, tearing down the walls to open the space will be advantageous in terms of how people will perceive the space when they are inside the kitchen.

An alternative to the open kitchen will be to create a semi-open room, which will be delimited with a wall halfway up or with a glass roof. Although the latter constitutes a partition, its transparency will not be a nuisance due to the fact that it does not cause a visual break with the rest of the space.
