There are several ways to make a small kitchen feel bigger:
1. Color scheme: Use light colors for the walls, cabinets, and countertops to create an illusion of more space.
2. Lighting: Maximize natural light by removing heavy curtains or blinds that block the sunlight. Add task lighting under cabinets and pendant lights to brighten dark corners.
3. Storage: Optimize your storage by using vertical space with floor-to-ceiling cabinets or open shelves. Use hidden storage options like pull-out cabinets or corner cabinets.
4. Minimalism: Keep your countertop clear of clutter. Store away items that are not used on a daily basis and put away small appliances like toasters or coffee makers.
5. Mirrors: Install a mirror on a wall opposite a window or on the back of a cabinet to reflect light and create the illusion of more space.
6. Flooring: Use light-colored flooring to give the illusion of more space and avoid dark patterns or textures that can make the kitchen feel smaller.
7. Open concept: Create an open concept by removing a wall or half-wall between the kitchen and living or dining area. This will create the illusion of one large space.
