How to renovate a small kitchen to make it feel larger

Home

Any builders Bristol can extend your home to give you a larger kitchen, but if your budget and stress levels don’t quite stretch to major renovations, here are some ways of creating more space in the kitchen you already have.

Consider the layout

A poorly laid out kitchen will always feel cramped, so if you lack space alongside the sink and cooker, or your fridge is too far from the workspace, a new kitchen may be in order. One that fits the flow of your home and suits the way you cook.

Improve your storage

Use carousels in corner cupboards and pull out pantry systems to maximise high level storage. Store large appliances in otherwise wasted space, such as under the kitchen sink. Look for innovative ways to improve your storage and free up counter space and you will enjoy having more room to cook.

Prioritise light

Light always makes a space feel roomier so if you lack natural light, builders such as //www.mogfordprescott.co.uk/builders-bristol can install or widen existing windows, fit skylights or glazed doors. Alternatively, you can make up for a lack of natural light with ceiling lights, fresh paintwork and shiny surfaces. Glass splashbacks and metallic finishes reflect light and are an easy way of improving the feel of the space.

Reduce clutter

Finally, you can make your kitchen feel larger by streamlining your appliances and making sure that only items you really need on a daily basis are left on the worktops. Reducing clutter makes the kitchen a more relaxing environment.
