Design and layout to maximize kitchen space
If you are trying to design a small space then some of these tips could come in handy. The National Kitchen and Bath Association define any space smaller than 150 square ft. as a small kitchen. Designing with care and with space saving ideas this space might seem more spacious and roomy than it actually is. If you are looking to the cabinets then try working with glass doors for the cabinets. Light colored cabinets fitted with small and elegant looking hardware can be one trick. Cabinet hardware in the form of handblown glass, acrylic door knobs or ceramic pulls or even small metal accents fashioned into shapes such as banana knob, apple etc or green tomato knobs or purple leafy pulls can be a neat idea too.
There are different companies like Carol Beachs hardware that make use of colored resin, metals in various colors and jewel knobs too. Another company called the Amerock company uses Amber glass knobs with round metal base with satin finish.
Instead of laying the tiles in a vertical or horizontal pattern, using a diagonal pattern might give an illusion of space. Small refrigerators, space saving ovens or stoves can be a good way of making use of the limited space in the room. At the same time making use of the little space to build an island can add extra storage area and also function as a table.
