If you have limited space to design your kitchen remodeling, you are obviously going to want to maximize it. Despite reasonable doubt, this doesn't mean breaking walls or even adding them. Maximizing a small kitchen can be done by simply playing with the colors, lines and shapes that will suit the space and budget you have to work with. In addition, kitchen design for small spaces should be regarded just as seriously as kitchen design for large spaces, because it in no way implies that you will be using your kitchen any less. That said, it should be functional, practical, and innovative in design and appearance. 101 Kitchens offers comprehensive kitchen remodeling services for the small kitchen as well as the big, including everything from building a layout, to painting the final layer of a color scheme.

Ways to maximize small kitchen space
The most important thing to understand about small kitchen design is that the lighter and the brighter, the better. If you have to choose a place for your kitchen, try and install it in an area surrounded by windows. The Natural light will make your small kitchen appear visually larger, and provide a cleaner and more open feel when working in it. Similarly, choosing a bright color scheme will reflect the light to enhance this visual effect. Be sure to choose a scheme of no more than 3 colors. Another way to maximize space is by hanging your pots, pans, and other accessories above the bench top or island. This will not only save valuable cabinet space, but also make accessing your cooking tools easier and therefore make for a more functional small kitchen.
A Quick Tip
A great way to prevent clutter in a small kitchen is by hiding as much as you can - including appliances - put your coffee makers and microwaves in a cupboard and you'll create a neat and tidy look.
