Small Kitchen, Big Hacks — Transform Your Space With Little Effort

Make your small space look bigger with bright lights that shine on every inch of the room. Leave nothing in the shadows again.

Draw attention away from a small space by adding eye-catching decor to another part of the room. These bold barstools attract the eye to another part of the room, making the small kitchen (and surrounding areas) look more exciting.

Play with opposing colors to create depth in the small space. The dark cabinets contrast with the light wood floor, ultimately making the whole room look longer in length.

Incorporating a designed flooring will open up the whole space of the kitchen. Thanks to the intricate design, the room looks wider and, not to mention, much more fun.

Incorporating natural light into a room always makes a space feel more open.

Use the room that you already have to extend your small space out. Putting kitchen supplies on the hallway counters makes the kitchen look longer and more spacious.

Shelves can not only make the room look longer but can also give your kitchen more room for cooking essentials. Use shelves to display your best cookware, and never run out of storage space again.

Use different-colored tile pieces to make a room look bigger. The two-toned tile creates a new sense of depth and opens up the room to the eye.

A relaxing color will help to give a room more space. Use light hues in a small kitchen to draw attention to the room as a whole.

The mild reflections that stainless steel creates can help to open up a room. Get appliances with a stainless steel finish to subtly add more depth to a small kitchen.

By matching two separate parts of a kitchen together (the cabinets to the shelves), the room is already made more interesting to the eye.

A bright wall color can make all the difference in any room. Lighten up a small kitchen with a bold color to make the room feel more open and more fun too!

The use of geometric shapes can help to give a room a more appealing look and can bring the eye to different parts of the room, making the space look bigger than it is.

Getting cabinets with glass doors makes a small kitchen look larger due to the fact that the space inside the cabinets creates more room for the eye to see.

Small decor with a bold color can brighten up any room. In a tiny kitchen, try buying pieces that are not only colorful but can also double as cooking essentials.

White space is not a bad thing. Make your kitchen look more cohesive by using the light hues to bring out the size of the room.

The depth that waterfall countertops create makes any room look much more spacious. Give your kitchen a wide-open look with the use of purposely placed waterfall counters.

Long rugs lead the eye down a space, creating longer depth with little effort. Tip: a rug with a design is even more eye-catching.

Greenery in any room can make it look more alive. Put large plants in a small space to automatically make it look and feel more open.

Don't close off any space! Use French doors to (literally) open up the whole room.

Cleaning off countertops and putting away cooking tools make any kitchen look more roomy. Leave only the essentials on the counter and, in doing so, open up the room to more accessible space.

By incorporating two different kinds of flooring in one place, the two separate sides differentiate each room. This makes the kitchen look like a whole new space that is not connected to the living room.
