Make Your Kitchen Look And Feel Bigger

Do You Want Your Kitchen To Look And Feel Bigger?

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house, if not the most import, and when it comes to size, the bigger the better. There are a lot of great tricks to making a kitchen feel bigger from cabinet size to paint color. Here are some great ideas to increase the feel of the size of your kitchen by balancing storage, style and function with a spacious overall vibe.

Paint Color

The color of the paint and the paint location can make the kitchen appear bigger. Lighter colors make a space feel open while darker ones can enclose a space. Yellows can create a sunny style kitchen that is bright and inviting consider Hawthorne Yellow HC-4 by Benjamin Moore. If you want to add a touch of color, consider something tranquil like a pale green like Soft Fern 2144-40 by Benjamin Moore.

Mirrors

Mirrors are one of the best tricks to expand the size of any room including bedrooms and bathrooms. A super-size mirror covering one wall can not only be elegant, but the reflection will expand the room if placed correctly. Also, consider incorporating mirror-like backsplashes like glass tiles, glossy cabinets, or even Fine Paints of Europe Glossy Paint.

Windows

Windows will always make a kitchen appear bigger, especially if they are longer windows. Windows can make a kitchen expand into the outside. Plus, they are great to open for additional ventilation.

Smaller Appliances

From the fridge to the dishwasher, appliances can really make a kitchen appear smaller. If you select smaller appliances, it can help give a little more space to the kitchen. For example, a standard dishwasher is 600mm in width, but a compact dishwasher can measure 450mm wide. The 150 mm can help to add a lot more space to a kitchen.

Lighting

Many kitchens feel small because they are dark. A little under cabinet lighting and even a nice lighting fixture, can make a kitchen feel bigger. Consider adding spotlights for even more lighting.
