Small Kitchen Remodeling Design – Sweet!

By: Milos Pesic

If you’re in a rut on a small kitchen remodeling design, then you might just need to know that designing this tiny piece of space only boils down to strategizing on what you can fit in and where.

Making a great small kitchen remodeling design points you to the many different cabinet designs and surface patterns providing your small kitchen a superb sense of space. But first is consider the most important elements for a small kitchen remodeling design – sufficient storage space, choice appliances, and reliable lighting.

The best storage solution for your small kitchen may include putting a small island at the center. The small island storage will not only allow you to work with more space around you but will also hold additional freestanding drawers or shelves that are also conveniently accessible from any part of the kitchen. If your kitchen is just too small for an island then incorporate a galley kitchen layout in your small kitchen remodeling design. This arrangement puts the cabinets lined-up hanging on either side of the kitchen aisle or top portions of the walls to take advantage of that space without being an obstacle. Another storage idea is to hang the pots and pans on racks chained at the center of the room or just anywhere on the ceiling, thus also adding charm and character. Also, install a pantry cabinet that goes all the way to the ceiling with its topmost cabinets for seldom used items and the lower cabinets made more accessible with rolled-out shelves, tilt-out bins, or lazy susan’s. And for the details, use light-colored cabinets with glass doors and create more storage inside cabinet doors to place tiny bits and pieces.

As for your small kitchen remodeling design appliances, install deeper counters to accommodate more appliances and increase workspace. There are now many compact space-saving appliances in the market for your choosing – 24-in. deep ref’s, microwaves that can be hung underneath cabinets, etc. But when it comes to the sink, keep it big. Large kitchen sinks are always practical especially in cleaning up huge pots and pans, and, keeping a party.

Another trick that you can do in your small kitchen remodeling design? – Installing under-cabinet or under-the-counter lighting. With the right kind of lighting you can make your kitchen appear bigger and so much more inviting. Diagonal flooring tiles or flooring design running the length of the aisles or galley could also do the trick. Plus, you can even add a small eating nook with a drop table or a built-in counter along the wall or just a small round table with two chairs tucked into a corner. Functional, efficient, and charming – All it takes is creativity!
