Nowadays, contemporary furniture technologies use many compact solutions for tiny rooms. Moreover,  well-known international interior designers come up with new and new techniques of visual expansion of space. As you can tell, a small kitchen is not a problem if you know how to make it feel larger and how to add some functional space in it.There are five mistakes in kitchen design, so here are our tips for avoiding them.



In a miniature kitchen, especially if it doesn’t have a lot of natural light, it is the best way to abandon multi-layer draperies or blackout curtains. Voluminous details of certain,  bright canvas with an ornate pattern and eye-catching print will visually reduce the size of your kitchen.So, how to decorate small kitchen windows?

  • blinds, shutters, and shades will help you to get light throughout the day;
  • the elegant design of the certains should be in harmony with other objects in the room;
  • retain the ability to transmit light and provide sufficient air circulation.


Decor



A small kitchen needs to have every inch of space utilized precisely. Did you know that lots of little things in small spaces can make the kitchen feel disordered? They clutter up your room with a multitude of decorative details.



What to do?We recommend you to diminish the number of decorations. Find another place for statues, photo frames and the multitude of bright magnets in your apartment. As an option, use essential things for decoration. As an example: beautiful dishes, kitchen textiles, watches - all these little things will help you decorate the kitchen, and at the same time will bring some benefits for you.There are also decorative techniques that can become the specialty of the kitchen - and they do not take away the place. For example, a backsplash that attracts attention, unusual headsets (with a 3D effect), bright home appliances as color emphasis.



The snow-white kitchen is a dream of many people, but it’s not the best choice for you if the kitchen has a tiny cooking zone. First of all, it’s not so practical. Nevertheless, if it doesn’t scare you, we have one more argument.Contrary to the view that a clear white monotonous interior doesn’t visually expand your room. Moreover, it makes furnishing more flat and dull. It’s a no-go design. To avoid this, you can add shades, textures and contrasting accents to the decor.You can add white color and contrast darker or bolder paint colors on the walls with reviving white trim. It will help make space feel more expansive, without having all the furniture white.



Glossy magazines are full of pictures of kitchens where storage is organized as open as possible. A variety of shelves, rails, all kinds of wall hooks and organizers, a complete rejection of wall cabinets. Please, forget about it.Maybe it looks pretty and stylish but in reality, due to lack of free space, it will turn into a mess. A much better solution would be a wall hanging cupboard up to the ceiling, matched to the color of the walls.

Microwave, coffee maker or toaster - everything requires space. Saving space by discarding the essentials is an extremely bad idea. No, you can not do without the oven, if you like to please your family with a specialty of the house. And you are unlikely to feel comfortable without a coffee machine if you cannot imagine the morning without a cup of Arabic coffee.If you don’t think about it at the time of planning the kitchen, then they will clutter up your tabletop. You can buy built-in appliances, but it can be expensive for you. The second option is to create special open shelves for electrical appliances on the one side and a worktop on the other. Then they will not be dispersed throughout the kitchen.To make your life easier, establish the domestic appliances in an easy to reach distance. Compact, narrow models will be perfectly fit. You will be able to find a place even in a tiny room.As you can see, it’s not a big problem to make your kitchen bright and cozy even if it doesn’t have enough space. Don’t be afraid to do experiments on your kitchen and we are here to help you!
