It is difficult to work in a small kitchen. But there could be ways to design it in such a way that makes your work in there more comfortable. We are going to discuss some of the many ways of decorating a small kitchen for improved functionality. 

Do you know design disasters can make a large kitchen look smaller and uncomfortable? Kitchen design can turn out to be a tricky affair, especially since this space is so difficult to renovate. Try to avoid the design pitfalls and make the best use of the available space in your kitchen.

Use of patterns

Smart use of pattern can have a refreshing effect on the interiors of a kitchen. You may use patterned tiles to decorate the backsplash. Strategic placement of ceramic tiles in various solid colours can also give the walls a glamorous look. The same applies for the flooring. But just don’t overdo it. Consider decorating the feature wall, backsplash, ceiling or flooring only. This will create enough distractions to turn your eyes away from the lack of space in the room. You may seek help of an experienced kitchen designer for this.

Bright lighting

A room filled with light always makes everyone feel positive and secure. Use LED lighting fixtures to decorate your kitchen and give it a bright and cheerful appearance. Don’t forget to make proper use of the available natural light. Unfortunately, sunlight is not bountiful in the kitchens of those living in the small apartments of multi-storeyed buildings. Despite the very obvious problem, try to maximise the available light. Don’t block the windows with furniture. Install skylights or picture windows close to the ceiling to ensure greater amount of natural light in the interior of the kitchen.

Built in cabinets

Built in cabinets can give your kitchen such a clean and organised look. It is so difficult to keep all your kitchen items neatly organised in spacious cabinets like these. This is a one time investment since quality kitchen cabinets tend to last for a very long time. Considering the amount of suspended dust in the atmosphere, it is better to invest in built in cabinets with doors. You may opt for mirrored doors for extra glamour.

Striking accent colour

Like patterns, striking accent colours can pep up the interior atmosphere in no time. You may paint the walls in a bold and bright shade or buy kitchen worktop with a ravishing colour. The choice is really yours. But ensure your chosen colour synchronises with the other aspects of design. Limit the use of this shade as an accent tone only. Too much spice can overwhelm the taste of the dish.

Use of natural wood

Natural wood induces the interior with warmth that is difficult to match with any other materials or articles of décor. You may have natural wood flooring in this space. If you are worried about the effect of moisture on your wood flooring, then you may buy wooden furniture for this space. Teak, maple, cedar or mahogany lasts for a long time. The presence of high quality wooden furniture, flooring or wall panel will have a chic effect on the interiors of your home.

Lightweight furniture

Lightweight furniture designed in a contemporary style would free up such a huge amount space in a small kitchen which could be difficult for you to believe in now. You may also consider buying glass top tables or transparent acrylic furniture. Transparent articles of furniture do not hinder the flow of light to make the room look cramped and dingy.
