We know that modern homes often have small kitchens. Even so, there are some tricks that can help you gain a few extra square meters in these spaces, where layout, lighting, and style are key aspects to consider.

‍

Below, we’ll share five tips to make your kitchen look more spacious and organized:

‍

REDUCE THE KITCHEN TRIANGLE

A kitchen is divided into three work zones: the cooking area, the washing area, and the cold storage area. These three zones form the activity triangle. If your kitchen is small, we recommend minimizing the distances between these points to optimize tasks, reducing the amount of movement needed for each activity.

‍

STORE EVERYTHING YOU CAN

Having storage furniture and accessories is essential to gain space and keep your kitchen organized. We recommend using everything from cutlery trays to interior cabinet organizers for utensils, achieving a tidy kitchen with a more spacious feel.

‍

LESS IS MORE IN THE KITCHEN

The minimalist style is ideal for small kitchens, as it conveys cleanliness, simplicity, and visual space. For example, sliding cabinets maximize the use of vertical space, making your kitchen feel larger without overcrowding it.

‍

CLEANLINESS IS ESSENTIAL

In small kitchens, it’s important to keep surfaces clear and spotless. A clutter-free space enhances the sense of order and allows small decorative details to stand out.

‍

LIGHT IS THE KEY

Maximizing light in your kitchen is essential to create a bright and airy space. Use lamps, light-colored tiles, white walls, and reflective finishes to enhance natural and artificial light, making the space feel lively and open.

‍

Similarly, choosing high-gloss finishes or neutral and white tones will fill your kitchen with light and expand the visual space.
