Small Kitchen Design That Feels Big
If your kitchen’s short on space, smart design is key. You don’t need a full renovation to make it feel bigger—just the right layout and cabinets.
Let’s dive into some simple ways to make a small kitchen feel more open, organized, and functional.
Make the Most of Vertical Space
Use your walls! Tall cabinets that go up to the ceiling offer extra storage without taking up floor space. Add open shelving above windows or appliances to store your most-used items within reach.
Stick with Light Colors
Lighter tones reflect more light, helping your kitchen feel airy and open. Go for:
White or light gray cabinets
Neutral countertops
Simple, glossy backsplash tiles
Pick Smart Cabinet Styles
Certain cabinet styles are perfect for small spaces:
Flat-front (slab) cabinets – sleek and space-efficient
Handleless doors – clean, seamless look
Open shelving – lightens up the walls

Custom cabinets can pack a ton of function into small spaces. Consider:
Pull-out drawers
Corner shelves or lazy Susans
Built-in spice racks
Vertical tray dividers

Keep It Simple
In small kitchens, less is more. Avoid bulky furniture and go for slim, multipurpose pieces. If space is tight, skip the island and use a rolling cart or wall-mounted breakfast bar instead.
