Four Smart Ways to Decorate a Small Kitchen

January 23, 2010

  Your living could be the face of your home but your kitchen is the heart and the stomach of your home.  Whether you whip up a great meal, where you sit together to tell stories about your day or just you grab a quick snack before you head out somewhere is kitchen the place to be.  Regardless of glamorous or how simple are the kitchen appliances, families spend considerable amount of time in the kitchen.  So, here are some ideas to make you kitchen a pleasant space to hang-out with your family.

1. Open it up: Open the windows in your kitchen.  If it is not possible, install open shelves and only few overhead cabinets.

2. Have different storage spaces:  Mix-up all your kitchen equipment in one storage place.  Place your commonly used china, dinnerware, and flatware in one place easily accessible to you.  While the rarely used kitchen appliances should go into different storage area.  Store pots and pans in cabinets or under an island.  Blenders, food processors and other small kitchen appliances are best stored in overhead cabinets.

3. Use proper lightning:  A well-lighted kitchen will appear larger than its actual size.  Kitchens are best lit with fluorescent bulb because of its linear form.

4. Get appliances in the right size:  It is because you have a small kitchen you will buy a small refrigerator. Wrong! Even though your kitchen is small, don’t go for smaller appliances. Likewise, a large kitchen sink is more convenient and practical than the small one in the long run.
