Dreaming of a roomier kitchen, but a full-on renovation is not possible? Don’t worry! Knocking down walls isn’t the only way to create a bigger kitchen.

Find a Better Layout

The layout is probably the most important factor that affects kitchen space. It determines not only the general look and foot traffic of the room, but also the amount of space you can utilise.

So, find a kitchen layout that is most appropriate for small spaces. For small rectangular rooms, you can create a galley kitchen layout, while a broader room can be a peninsula kitchen.

Both these layouts will help maximise the space.

Invest in Storage Solutions

Creative storage solutions are magic to a new kitchen renovation. Think of various ways to store items that will take up less room. One good example is a drawer with vertical utensil holders, which can hold more compared to an ordinary kitchenware drawer.

Pull-out racks and organisers are also some excellent storage options.

Consider Open Shelves

Don’t let that space that’s usually out of your reach go to waste! Install open shelving on the upper wall of your kitchen and use it to store small items and voila, more storage space and instant decoration!

Another way to maximise space is to have customised joinery. You can have it cover an entire wall from the floor to the ceiling to make the most of the space.

Go for Smaller Appliances

This might be an obvious thing, but it’s worth a reminder, nevertheless. Don’t pick large appliances because they’ll take up most of the space.

Maximise your space instead by going for those with two sizes below so they can fit in nicely with your joinery or room corners. It will also help to buy appliances that do multiple functions so you can save more space for storage.

If you have a centre island, make sure to put its use to more than just being an additional countertop. Install drawers and cabinets so you’ll have more storage to use.

Aside from making your kitchen roomier, you can also make it look larger by simply installing excellent lighting.
