Wondering how you can make your small, cramped kitchen look bigger? Here are 5 ways you can make your kitchen appear larger without major development work.
1. Use lighter colours
As a rule, dark colours will make a space seem smaller, whilst lighter colours make a room appear more spacious. If your kitchen looks small and gloomy, a simple bit of redecorating to incorporate some brighter colours can make a huge difference.
2. More natural light
Daylight is one of the most valuable tools in your arsenal and it doesn’t cost you a thing! A bright, well-lit kitchen will look much more spacious than a dimly lit one; investing in new sliding patio doors and windows is a great option.
Skylights and rooflights are also an excellent choice for kitchens, as they not only let in up to three times more natural light than a vertical window but can help illuminate dark corners and areas further away from your existing windows.

3. Declutter
Clutter and busy worktops are sure to make your kitchen look cramped and smaller than it should. Make the most of kitchen drawers and cupboards to tidy away any loose items and give every utensil a home.
4. Use mirrors
Mirrors are excellent for creating the illusion of space. Unfortunately, many people reserve them for use in their bathrooms and bedrooms, and rarely consider the benefit they could serve in the kitchen.
A mirror reflects natural light and instantly opens up a room. Consider mirrored cupboard doors or a mirrored wall space under your wall cabinets and above your worktops to create a more open plan feel.
