Here are suggested ways to open up a small kitchen.

First and foremost, keep the layout simple. Keep in mind that in a small space everything really has to work, including surface materials, fixtures and cabinets.

As much as possible add windows. However,  if this is not possible install open shelves and only a few overhead cabinets.

Store rarely used kitchen appliances and cookware in a nearby closet.

A well lighted kitchen will appear larger than it really is. The use of proper lighting should be observed.

Get appliances in the right size, downsizing appliances is a good move to make a proportion to the space at the same time will take less space.  However  though the kitchen is small, a large kitchen sink is more convenient and practical in the long run.

To unify the overall look, most designers suggest monochromatic color.  Select the best color palette that will best fit your style and kitchen design. Furthermore using the same style and color of fixtures and cabinet pulls can add an exquisite appearance.


Lastly, an organized and functional kitchen is what makes it great. Maintaining tidiness for maximum cooking and cleaning efficiency will save you time and effort.

Mother, Blogger

As I already mentioned in my first article, I am a full-time housewife, tending to the daily house chores. Though I have my helper with me, I personally tend to my husband and children's needs. Being in the house all day long makes me bored to the max! It's a good thing, I love to read, and when I'm done reading, I go online and check my accounts in Facebook, Twitter,and email. I started creating my own blog a year ago, but due to my hectic schedule being an ICafe Owner at the same time due to my health problems I wasn't able to pursue it. Being a mother doesn't mean you cannot be a blogger. I am not a professional writer, but I can express my opinions and ideas in my own way and style of writing. I will be writing articles, not only for the mothers' interest but for the whole family as well. May you find my articles worth reading. You may expect for a weekly update on this site.
