Small kitchens may not be so easy to decorate. Due to limited space, the furniture should be the right size and the colors should not make the room seem even smaller. However, there are some tips on how to make a small space more spacious so that decorating successfully is not a problem.
First of all, think of an interior design that interests you and at the same time transform a small room into a larger one. Avoid themes that create unnecessary clutter, as they will only make your space look more limited. Learn which designs will fit best in the home. For example, applying styles that focus more on the installation of shelves will maximize the space you have. This is also true for models that use sneakers because they provide additional storage that will work in your favor.
The color of the walls, cabinets, and even the flooring will also help create the appearance of more legroom. Most people think that tiny spaces should always have white walls. Although white is a color that enhances the appearance of spatially reduced areas in terms of size, this does not mean that other paint colors will not work for your area.
You can still use bright hues and those would not make for a cramped vibe, as long as you opt for a monochrome scheme. If you want to add more depth to the room, you can do so by painting the opposite wall a deeper shade which will also add extra charm. A good example is a bluish-grey hue which will give the impression that the walls are receding and therefore emitting ‘larger space cues’.
Having the right kinds of color isn’t just about walls. Furniture and appliances should also be in lighter shades or painted in monochromatic tints. If you have light colored walls, avoid cabinets, countertops, etc. of dark colors. However, keep in mind that this does not mean that everything has to have the same shades; you just need to make sure the colors match and can transform the room into a brighter one for a more spacious look.
The size of the furniture is also a very important factor when decorating small spaces. Buy small to medium sized stuff because that’s what you really need. Apply the same rule to your appliances, and stay away from the bulky types that are meant only for large homes.
Where you put your things also affects the size of the room. Try to apply the principles of Feng Shui because they not only prevent bad luck, but also help create a more voluminous atmosphere.
Finding out how to make the most of small kitchens in terms of spaciousness will help make your home grand. You may not even need to hire an interior decorator for the remodeling process. You can do it yourself and save significant amounts of money.
