5 Tips for a Small Kitchen Remodel

Bader Obeid • Jan 13, 2017

Tips For Remodeling Small Kitchen

If you ask any real estate agent, he or she will tell you the two things that sell homes are bathrooms and kitchens, which is the main reason why renovations in these areas are common. If you live in a small condo or apartment, renovating your kitchen may seem complicated due to its small size. With small kitchens, the choice of renovation options is often limited. Fortunately, the staff at CMA Flooring Carrollton is here to offer a few tricks that can contribute to the perfect small kitchen remodel.

1. Opt for Open Cabinets

Using too many cabinets in a small space can make your kitchen feel claustrophobic. Open cabinetry works great in small kitchens, serves as a decorative feature, and gives the space an airier feel.

2. Add an Island

An island in the center of a small kitchen adds more workspace. However, this addition will only work in a tight space if you go for a minimalist design scheme. Choose an island that comes with a light-colored countertop and an open bottom.

3. Install High-Quality Flooring

One of the best perks of small kitchens is that less material means you can work with higher-end finishes. When choosing flooring, purchase high-quality tile floors and consider a checkered pattern to create the illusion of a larger space.

4. Work with Color

Strategic use of color is highly important in a small kitchen. A brightly colored accent not only makes a kitchen look bigger, but it also catches the eye of anyone who enters it. You can also use smaller accent pieces and a colorful backsplash that blends in.

5. Use Lighting to Create the Illusion of More Space

If there’s anything that works miracles with small kitchens, it’s great lighting. Hanging lights over the table make the ceiling feel taller, while incandescent lighting beneath the wall cupboards is warmer compared to fluorescent lights.
