No Problem! Here\u2019s a step-by-step plan on how to make a small kitchen look and feel larger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>1. REPAINT.<\/strong> A simple coat of paint, like a bright white or a light grey will freshen up a kitchen. Adding pops of colour, will distract from the small space. Remember, light and bright.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>2. CREATE A FOCAL WALL.<\/strong> Add wallpaper (a vertical stripe gives height) or even tile a wall that\u2019s in a direct sight-line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>3. THE BACKSPLASH<\/strong>. Using mirror or glass subway tile with under-cabinet lighting, will eliminate dark spaces under upper cabinets. Mirror is very on-trend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>4. TILING.<\/strong> Depending on the tile on your kitchen floor, you may want to change it out. Ideal floor tiles for small spaces are rectangular in shape and larger-than average tile.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>5. FOCUS ON FUNCTION NOT APPLIANCE.<\/strong> Create a low impact layout making sure that your tools crucial to working in your kitchen are within a proper working triangle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>6. LOOK UP AND THINK UP.<\/strong> Maximizing vertical space is the best way to reduce clutter and increase storage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>7. IF YOUR KITCHEN HAS SOLID WOOD CABINET DOORS,<\/strong> you may want to create glass inserts or change out the doors to glass cabinet doors. Another option is open<br \/>\nshelving. This will help visually open up the room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>8. PAINTING THE CABINETS<\/strong> and walls the same colour allows for a complete flow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>9. REMEMBER THAT SLEEK,<\/strong> clean and tailored all help to achieve an overall look that will please everyone entering your kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>10. FLOOD YOUR SPACE<\/strong> with as much light as possible. Dark rooms become claustrophobic and uncomfortable. Lighten up that small kitchen and you\u2019ll never want to leave.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecxMsoNormal\"><strong>Text by Luc Crawford, Kitchen Designed by Creative Space Architectural Design Ltd., Produced by Home Trends Magazine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Space?
