Cooking in a small kitchen can be cumbersome, particularly for those who consider themselves to have culinary hands and crave that extra space. Fortunately, there are several key ways to maximize even the smallest kitchen’s potential and transform it into a more useful space. The custom cabinet installation team at Kabinet Koncepts, based in Murrysville, PA, is here to share three tips for making the most of that small kitchen design.

3 Kitchen Design Tips for Enhancing a Small Space

1. Minimize Appliances

When possible, take advantage of the space and recognize where it’s best to avoid filling available spaces with large appliances. For example, countertops shouldn’t be cluttered with microwaves and toaster ovens if available room is at a premium. Use the available spaces, such as appliance garages and top-level cabinets, to your advantage by storing unused appliances in those areas. Ask your kitchen design professional to install microwaves within the cabinets.

2. Avoid Clutter

Although decorating the kitchen is a great way to put your personal mark on the design, it’s usually best to avoid this option if you’re working with a particularly small space. Additional décor only adds to the jumble and can have the opposite effect. A cluttered kitchen is difficult to use and will make a small kitchen look even more minimal.

3. Unique Cabinets

Focus on cabinets that work to the benefit of your kitchen design. Many solutions can help you make the most of that small space, such as organizational dividers that provide you with ample storage for dishes, or pullout shelves for easy access to items that might otherwise be difficult to store.

Selecting the right appliances and choosing cabinets that fit well into your kitchen design can make all the difference in maximizing your available space.
