    You can create the illusion of more space by painting your kitchen with white or light colors. If you're on a budget, this is a cheap technique you can try. Good luck!

    Declutter. Install shelves and don't thing side-to-side--think UP. About half your unused kitchen space is on the walls or UP above the counters and appliances. If you can put things HIGHER, you'll reduce the amount of things you see at eye level, making it feel much larger.

    Paint your walls and cabinets a light color to create a more open feeling of space.

    Butto "increase kitchen space " is to have well organized Kitchen strorage techniques impliment in every cabinet. First, donateanything you do not regularly use. Secondly, only store things that are stackable as to maximize the space you do have. You can also purchase wire racks for easy access to all of your dishes and glassware.

    Moto Pinterest.com for "kitchen storage ideas" and be amazed with some truly creative storage solutions.

    To maintain the floor space in a small kitchen, hang shelving to add to your storage space. If space allows, use floor to celiling wall cabinets as they takeup only 12 of floor space while providing a ton of extra storage.

    If you have a laundry room, perhaps you can create a small non - perishable food storage area. Many families are doing just that since the pandemic to cut down on trips to the market.

    I turned my coat closet into a panty and now store coats in bedroom closets and use the entry-way for our current season coat storage. That alone gave me so much extra kitchen storage space!

    Think outside the box!
