Make-Overs for a Small Kitchen

 


Like we all now know, the kitchen is often regarded as the hub of the family home. This is where the family gathers to eat, cook, chat, laugh together, do home works, or work in paying bills and sharing some special moments together.

 

When your kitchen space is limited, it follows that there will be some smart planning in order to create a highly functional and beautiful kitchen. A well-designed Brisbane small kitchen renovation can have a smart layout, with minimal clutter and maximum efficiency.

 

Here are some very good ideas for your Brisbane small kitchen renovation whether you are redecorating or completely remodeling,

 

Storage solutions

 

It is very important that in designing your Brisbane small kitchen renovation before renovation or remodeling work, you need to consider the value of smart storage. Make every inch work if and when you don’t have much space to work on.

 

The smart move is to utilize every nook and cranny, even those awkward spaces, into a functional storage area.  For instance, the space between your fridge and the wall can be an ideal place to install a pull-out where you can store your canned goods.

 

Some suggestions

 

Narrow pull-outs near the stove keep the oils, vinegar, and seasonings easy to reach when cooking.

 

A custom-made pullout drawer with spots to store cooking utensils is a very practical way to free up much-needed countertop space for prepping and cooking.

 

Try not to have your cabinets fall short of the ceiling. The top will only collect dust and other unnecessary accessories.

 

Build your cabinets all the way up to the ceiling.  The up top parts can be used to store seasonal items that you use only occasionally. This way, you keep everyday items within easy reach.

 

Full-height cabinets provide the maximum amount of storage, and the glass fronts keep the space feeling airy.

 

Space expansion with lighting

 

A good lighting is necessary because there is a lot of chopping and handling of hot equipment in a kitchen. Good lighting is required for your own safety. 

 

Ideally, your small kitchen needs to have the combination of task and atmospheric lighting. Having lighting underneath upper cabinets and incandescent lights above the cabinets give the right lights inside.

 

Don’t get lighting fixtures that hang from the ceiling because they can give the illusion of making your already small kitchen much smaller. Don’t let the dark get into your small kitchen.

 

Mirrors

 

Mirrors can make many small spaces (and the room itself) feel and look larger. You can have your mirrors in your backsplash as long as they do not reflect the ugly side of these appliances to the world.

 

You can use them on cabinet doors, too. Mirrors always make things look bigger. 

 

Countertop space

 

Everything in a small kitchen should be able to serve double-duty. The cabinetry and shelves aren’t just for storing dishes and countertops aren’t just for food preparation.

 

When there is no room for a proper kitchen table, a bar countertop can work double as both prep space and an eating area. This is a very practical action and with the right stools to match, it can be stylish as well.
