5 Design Tricks to Make Your Kitchen Feel Bigger

You don’t always need a major renovation to open up more space in your kitchen. The right design techniques can serve as hacks to make your kitchen feel more spacious. Here are just a few of them, many of which don’t require much money or effort.

1. Stay light and bright

For your kitchen’s colour palette, stick to two or three light shades. That goes for paint colours, cabinetry, accents, and even dishware. Adding accent lighting also eliminates shadows from cabinets that can make the space feel smaller.

2. Choose reflective surfaces

Reflective surfaces create the impression of more space. A mirrored backsplash, glossy cabinets, or glass tiles can all create the desired effect.

3. Open shelves

Multiple closed cabinets can look clunky. Open shelves not only offer quick access to kitchenware, but they can also give the room a unique aesthetic. If your cupboard or cabinets are organized, you can also remove a few cabinet doors for the same effect.

4. Declutter your kitchen

Crowded counters are a fact of life for most of us, but decluttering can make your kitchen feel much larger. Store away your appliances organize your pantry on a regular basis for a more refreshed space.

5. Add geometric patterns

Geometric patterns to attract the eye vertically or lengthwise, making your kitchen feel longer and taller. Texture and depth also help. You can add all of these in the tile you choose for your backsplash, countertop, or even your flooring.
