Do you live in a studio apartment or an apartment with a compact kitchenette? This is the article for you. If you're wondering how to make your small kitchen look and feel bigger, we have some tips to create an illusion of greater spaciousness, furnishing an airy and welcoming environment. Discover our space-saving ideas for the kitchen!

Use pale colors

A simple and immediate way to make a small kitchen appear larger is to choose light and bright colors: white, delicate grays, pastel, and neutral hues reflect natural light, opening up the view. Consequently, the rule is to avoid dark shades, which tend to absorb light, adding touches of color with accessories or small appliances to give personality without weighing down the space.

Optimize space with space-saving solutions

Clutter immediately makes a small kitchen feel more cramped, so it's essential to organize the space well. Need some ideas? Utilize height by installing equipped wall panels to store spices and utensils, and other open-fronted elements for frequently used kitchen items. And for those you don't use? Seek the help of organizers, pull-out drawers, and hooks to maximize space inside cabinets.

Allow natural light to pass through freely

Natural light is fundamental for making a kitchen look and feel bigger. If you have windows, avoid heavy drapes or blackout blinds, preferring light fabrics that allow light to filter through, while still ensuring privacy. Another trick is toplace mirrorsor customize the kitchen composition with glossy or glass doors: these are a real ace up your sleeve for small kitchens, as they reflect light and visually enlarge the room.
