There is nothing more satisfying than living a minimalist lifestyle, we all know that. However, a tiny kitchen can be a source of frustration when you want to cook and organise. There are a good few things about your tiny kitchen that you can’t change; you can’t make the walls any bigger and you can’t expand the floor space. There are, however, lots of things that you can do to give your tiny kitchen the illusion of being bigger. Your kitchen already has a big personality, and it’s up to you to make it feel that way. Below, you’ll find some of the ways that you can add big personality to your little kitchen.

Neutral Colours. There’s nothing worse than clashing colour schemes, and with a small space you need to keep it light, bright and as neutral as possible to keep it looking endless with clean lines and beautiful tones. The cabinets and appliances can all blend together this way, giving you the illusion of space.
Flooring. The flooring in the kitchen should always be either vinyl or Carpet One laminate floors, because of how easy they are to take care of. You shouldn’t put carpet or floors that are too dark in a kitchen, because not only is it too hard to clean spills on carpet, it’s also not easy to make a tiny room look big if the floor is dark wood.
Shiny. If the surfaces of your kitchen are shiny, you are going to have a far better time making everything pop. Reflective surfaces work like mirrors, giving the illusion of tons of space where really, there is none. It’s also a good way to make your kitchen look far more modern than it actually is.
Open Shelving. It’s always tempted to have closed cabinetry in your kitchen, but if you can have open shelving you can give it a fairly airy look. Of course, this only works if you can refrain from cluttering up your kitchen and having messy cupboards.
Blinds. Kitchen curtains are a lovely window treatment, but blinds can fit to the windows and shorten how much of the wall space you use. Blinds are beautiful in a kitchen and they can make the space look far bigger than it actually is.
Neatness. The personality of your kitchen should be smooth and tidy, and when you hide away the clutter and keep things clean, your kitchen maintains its clean lines and overly decorative ‘stuff’ everywhere. Minimalism is key when it comes to your small space, because it’s this that will make it look great at all times.
The kitchen is the space where most people entertain their friends and they spend their time cooking up new dishes. You need to make it a place you want to spend your time and you want to take a moment to enjoy decorating it – even if the size of the kitchen means that you don’t take long!
