Here are some tips on how your smaller kitchen can be remodeled:

• We can use some of the built in facilities that will give us some free space in our kitchen area such as built in ovens and other appliances. Using these techniques we can get more space and it will look less messy.
• For clean look, we can use the same built in storage for foods like potatoes, onions and bread etc that will also give the kitchen the clean and attractive look.
• We can use mixer and toasters in sliding shelves, by using this system these accessories will remain hidden and also will be easy to get.
• Wire basket increases the effectiveness for our small kitchen, as keeping a wire basket inside a cabinet or under the sink to hold trash bags.
• Using large tiles will help the small kitchen appear larger. Using natural and artificial lighting will get illusion of a larger kitchen than it’s the reality.
• We can also use a gallery kitchen design in which the cabinets and appliances that are line up on either side of the corridor. These designs can work out well regarding space for our small kitchen.
• White or stainless steel appliances and white kitchen cabinets increase small kitchens visually. In general lighter colours and mirrors will make any small space appear larger.
