Smart Design Ideas for Small Kitchens

Tiny Kitchens Unite!
Here at DreamMaker, we embrace kitchens of all shapes and sizes. Just because one kitchen is smaller than another doesn't mean that utility and comfort are out of reach. Here are a few tips that can take your kitchen from cluttered to roomy - without making your wallet feel empty:

• Install a pot-rack to move your clunky cookware out of the cupboard and out of your workspace.
• Look for an over-the-range or under-cabinet microwave to free up countertop space yet keep your microwave close at hand.
• Shop for cabinets that have adjustable shelving, giving you the power to tuck away bulky items like toasters and mixers as well as pitchers and serving platters.
• You can remove the soffits in your kitchen to install taller cabinets that stretch all the way to your ceilings. Just think of all the extra storage you could gain!"
• Counters crowded with spices and everyday use items? Make sure your new cabinets come with a pantry style drawer that can be pulled out at a moment's notice.
• If your pantry is equipped with fixed shelving, look into retrofitting it with adjustable shelves that can open up storage options you never thought possible.
• If your kitchen has a solid door, you may be able to remove it or replace with a glass-paned door, depending on the view on the other side, to give a more open look to the room. Another option is the out-of-sight pocket door.

These are only a few of the many ideas the team at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen can discuss with you to help make your small kitchen more efficient and appear larger.
