If you are under the misconception that a fancy kitchen is out of your reach because of space constraints, you have another thing coming. After all, your kitchen is small and you can’t change that fact.
You will be happy to know that you too can have all the frills and flare you see in celebrities’ kitchens with a few tweaks here or there. You may find this hard to swallow. Well, we will show you how. So, tighten your seat belts because you are in for a hell of a ride!
1. Change the script
You can have your heart’s desire. An island in your kitchen! All you need to do is knock off the wall adjoining your living room and voila, you not only have a kitchen that looks visually bigger, but it boasts an island too! The advantages?
-
You get extra storage. The island has space for storage, appliances, and a prep station. You can even sneak in a couple of stools for an informal dining area.
-
With the work-from-home culture picking up speed, the island doubles up as a workspace.
-
It heightens the beauty of your living area with the space extension.
2. Go rustic
Once you have knocked off the dividing wall, add a wooden table to give your kitchen a rustic appeal. Depending on the size of your kitchen and the ceiling height, add wood rafters to the mix for an all-out rustic look. Wooden cabinetry and black hands will complete this gorgeous decor. Add a few rustic elements in the adjoining room for a balanced look.
3. A bit of gloss on your backsplash
So, it’s tiny. And you are hesitant to knock off a wall. Well, all is not lost. A glossy backsplash will do the work. Add elements such as a granite countertop, wood finish cabinets, and stylish fittings to give it a classy touch.
4. Go bold with your color palette
Whether it is the paint on the wall or the color of your laminate, dig deep for inspiring color schemes. The rich colors are sure to make your tiny space beam with pride. What’s more, it will give you a chance to show off your tiny space to friends and family.
5. Open shelving for an airy look
Open shelves lend depth to the decor, giving the illusion of space. However, you will have to make sure you keep them well-organized for a neat look. And hey, if constant styling isn’t your thing, add a shelf or two to your cabinets for display purposes only.
6. Patterns on the floor
It can be a rug or a patterned ceramic tile, a bit of buzz is what your kitchen needs to amp up the look. When you have busy flooring, it’s best to keep it simple with the rest of the elements.
7. Lighting tricks
Why follow the herd when you can mark your own path? A quaint candelabra is just the thing to add a bit of glamor to the decor. However, you will need your task lights for your prep work. Add a few copper or brass pans to the mix to carry forward an old English feel.
8. Vintage vibe
It can be trimmings on the cabinets, old-world handles, frilly curtains, or even a vintage lampshade on your island. This vintage kitchen will leave you gasping with its beauty. However, if you have knocked down the dividing wall, make sure to balance the act with a vintage dresser and a few lamps in your living area.
