Small Kitchen Design Ideas

Kitchen cabinets take up most of the wall space in most kitchens and because of this by making a change in the look of your kitchen cabinets as in painting, you can greatly improve the look of the entire kitchen.

Whether you want to lighten up dark cabinets or brighten them up with bold colors, paint can provide an instant makeover for almost all types of cabinets. Because of problems of paint adhering well to laminate and melamine cabinets, it isn't recommended to paint these types.

Painting your kitchen cabinets can be the fastest and easiest method to update a tired worn-out looking kitchen and increase the value of your home. Painting the cabinets is a simple and low-cost alternative to an expensive kitchen-remodeling job. Painting the kitchen cabinets can give them a fresh new look. Painting kitchen cabinets will save you money while making it look like you spent a lot on remodeling your kitchen.

You can easily change the kitchen cabinet accessories such as the cabinet knobs and handles.You can leave the insides of the kitchen cabinets alone except the insides of the doors to save even more money on the job and the hassle of having to take out everything that is inside the cabinets

Small Kitchen Appliances

There are tons of appliances made especially for small kitchens these days, everything from refrigerators to mixers to microwaves. These appliances will fit in a smaller kitchen without sacrificing utility. Here are a few ideas:

* Consider a new refrigerator. This one appliance can really change how you use your kitchen. Fridges with drawer freezers are becoming common and might offer some space advantages for a small kitchen design.
* Microwaves, toaster ovens, clock radios, and other appliances will fit under cabinets with a little work. This frees up the counter space below and can be a huge space saver. Again, these appliances don't sacrifice quality.
* Dishwashers come in many sizes, not just the large ones you're used to. Consider a space saving dishwasher to create more storage space.
* Even ovens have gotten smaller over the years, with the same bang for your buck. Consider replacing your old oven with a new, sleek, smaller one. This could free up some space in cabinets, too.
* Smaller appliances like mixers will probably have to be stored when not in use. Again, make sure you have plenty of storage space.
