Space saving tips for your kitchen

Here's how to maximize every corner in your kitchen so you can cook comfortably without hitting and bumping into drawers, cabinets, sinks etc.

Mounted Storage

Take advantage of your walls! Once the cabinets are filled, where to next? Your counter space is a precious commodity, but your walls, not so much. Instead of storing items on your work area, use hooks and shelves to hang them. pot racks, knife racks, spoon racks can all be hung all the wall, leaving extra space for your other utensils

No door. 

As odd as this might sound, removing the kitchen door is so easy and helps a small room feel much larger. Better still, have the opening widened or a wall removed. Opening up the kitchen is about more than style — having extra space to move around in will help keep two cooks from bumping into each other quite so much.

Cabinets to the ceiling.

Why stop a foot short when you can take the cabinets all the way up? Even if you can’t easily access what’s in the top cupboards, in a small space it’s still worth having the storage option. Having ceiling-height cabinets also helps visually expand the space.

Minimalist hardware.

 It may seem like a small thing, but in a really narrow galley kitchen, it’s easy to knock into bulky knobs and handles. Keep things looking and feeling sleek by choosing slender, minimalist pulls. High-gloss cabinets and proper lighting also help open up the tight kitchen here

Small but useful appliances

Opt for pint sized appliances if you're not regularly cooking for a crowd, in which if reverse is the case, you can still go for the normal sized ones with built in storage. Explore the option of built in appliances. Your fridge, microwave and other appliances can be built in which would give you ample space to move around.
