4 Home Décor Storage Tips for Small Kitchens

If you have a small kitchen like many people do, chances are you are challenged to find the space for all of your essential kitchen tools and supplies. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this means that not only do you cook in the kitchen; you entertain, spend time with family and do a variety of other tasks too. How you use your kitchen is going to be different than some other people, so the storage solutions that you choose should be matched to your unique kitchen storage needs. Let’s take a look at some small kitchen storage tips that can help you utilize every inch of kitchen space.

 

  1. Market Big Impact with a New Backsplash

If your kitchen is bland and boring and you only have a little bit of money to put in to your kitchen decorating endeavors than this is a great place to invest. Choose inexpensive tiles that coordinate with the current color scheme in your kitchen or change out your kitchen accessories to match the colors in your new tile backsplash. Simply creating a small section of colorful tiles by the sink area of your kitchen will add drama and brighten up the space.

  1. Add Shelves

If you want to make the most of your small kitchen then adding storage shelves that take advantage of vertical space is a great way to provide you with the extra storage space you need. Add floating shelves on the walls for additional space, or mount shelving in between the frame of the window in your kitchen to provide you with the perfect place to store your kitchen collectibles and accessories that you would like to put on display.

 

  1. Keep it Neutral

If you are already working with limited space in your kitchen, then you may want to tone down the amount of color that you use to help your kitchen feel larger. Choosing light colored paint in shades of grey, blue or brown are sure to help your kitchen feel bigger. Keep the ceilings in your kitchen white, this helps the ceilings to feel higher and will also provide the illusion of a larger space.

 

  1. Add Pops of Color

While it is wise to choose neutral colors or your cabinets, counters and walls if you have a small kitchen, this does not mean that your kitchen has to be cold and bland. A great way to add color into a small kitchen is through small pops of a single shade of color or using two complimentary colors. Add accessories such as pictures, vases, accessories and accent pieces that have the same color scheme to give your neutral kitchen the pop of color it needs to liven it up.
