Secrets of Interior Designers: Tips for Styling a Small Kitchen

VERY PRACTICAL MATERIALS

For the floor, we recommend laminate or tiles. Light wooden ones as well as wood-imitating tiles can be an ideal choice. Similarly, extending the countertop area on the kitchen zone to avoid using multiple different materials. In small kitchens, textured paper coverings also work beautifully (if they are not too saturated), as they create a fantastic warm effect.

MORE THAN JUST WHITE

White is the superior color for small kitchens: it enhances natural light, visually expands space, is timeless and complements all decoration styles... But white kitchens are not the only solution for limited space. Light and bright shades are the best choice if you have a small and narrow kitchen. However, if you decide to add color, use furniture design: smooth doors without handles fully integrate with walls and create visual expansion. If you choose to go for color, opt for wooden tones or combine lower cabinets in bright colors with tall shelves in soft tones to balance the effect.

TRICK TO INCREASE LIGHT?

And therefore, visual expansion. The more mirror surfaces — the better! Some sliding doors well installed in a partition that slides along the wall opposite to the kitchen, so they don't take up extra space; a partition with closed lower part and mirrored upper section, and the cleaner the barrier is with fewer profiles — the better.
