How to Make your Kitchen Feel Bigger
We all love our kitchens. It’s where we cook, gather, and recuperate after a long day. While there are many things about these spaces that we enjoy, sometimes they can feel small. From appliances to kitchen islands and even dining tables, our kitchen tends to have a number of things that may make it look and feel cramped.
Luckily, there are several steps you can take to help fix this issue. You can play with color, lighting, mirrors, and window treatments like kitchen shutters to open up the layout and make it appear larger and roomier. At Little’s Custom Blinds & Shutters, we discuss the steps you can take this fall to make your Georgia kitchen feel bigger.
Use Light Colors to Create a More Open Kitchen
One simple trick you can do to make the kitchen in your home appear larger is to change your paint color. Going with lighter paint colors, such as white, can provide the appearance of a bigger space. White walls, cabinets, and counters reflect light, which helps give the idea of receding walls. If you’re worried about your kitchen being too one-note or stale with a single shade of white, try a few different shades between your walls, countertops, and cabinets for a monochromatic look that brings visual interest while helping make your kitchen seem bigger.
Wall Mirrors Make a Space Feel Larger
Another tip to introduce into your kitchen is placing a few wall mirrors around the room. Mirrors play with light, allowing both natural and artificial light to reflect off their surfaces, giving the feeling of a larger area. Depending on the size of your kitchen, you can play with different sizes of mirrors for a look that’s both functional and adds an element of style to your walls.
Opt for Open Shelving in Your Kitchen
Big, bulky cabinets not only take up a large amount of wall space, but they also can make your kitchen feel cramped. Instead, try replacing your mounted cabinets with open shelving. Having straight, linear, open shelves provides the illusion of more space. For more space, declutter your open shelves to feature only the bare minimum.
Change Up Your Kitchen Window Treatments
Switching out your kitchen window treatments for new blinds for the kitchen or kitchen window shutters can also help open up a cramped space. Hunter Douglas Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds provide exceptional durability and can withstand humidity, making them great for kitchens. Additionally, these Hunter Douglas blinds come in 50 color options, allowing you to find the perfect shade to make your kitchen feel bigger.
Kitchen shutters are another window treatment alternative for a roomier kitchen. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are UV resistant and resist warping, cracking, fading, chipping, peeling, and discoloring. They’re also water resistant and are perfect for high-traffic kitchen areas. These kitchen window shutters come in multiple shades of white depending on your color scheme and preference.
