Therefore, we bring you a series of tips and ideas that you will not be able to resist implementing in your kitchen. Get out a pen and paper and get ready to see them all!
Make the Most of a Small Kitchen
First: plan
First of all, you should stop to think about what your needs are and how you want your kitchen to be. Planning is a very important first step before getting down to business. To do this, because we have the centimeters counted, we recommend you measure the spaces very well and bet on custom-made furniture. And, above all, that they have a large storage capacity.

Bet on an open kitchen
One of the trends that are sweeping this year is open kitchens that consist of creating an open space between this
room and the living room or dining room. This type of interior design offers many advantages. Among them, it stands out that it modifies the perception of the size of the kitchen, appearing more spacious. It also opens the door to more modern designs.
From Mercado del Mueble we advise you that, if you bet on this option, choose furniture that allows you to hide the electrical appliances so that it appears more sophisticated.
Delimit the spaces
Even if you decide to open your kitchen to the rest of the house, you must define the spaces with the decoration or with certain elements. The objective is to integrate both spaces, but without losing the meaning of each one separately.
With what elements can we achieve it? For example, with an island (or mini island ) that acts as a barrier, as we show you in the image. How about?
Distribute the furniture well
The distribution of the furniture also plays a vital role in the final result of the composition. Therefore, you should choose the layout that is most practical for you and leaves you more free space for movement. For example, this ‘U’ arrangement seems ideal to us. And you?
The color white, your best ally
In another vein, we can also make our kitchen look bigger through colors. Painting the walls white and choosing furniture in light tones will be the best option so that the light is enhanced and this room looks more spacious.
If you want to give a little more life to the composition, you can introduce other colors through small details or elements. For example, cabinet knobs and dishes.
Take advantage of natural light
Natural light and white will make a perfect combination to take advantage of your small kitchen. Especially, we need to make the most of the light in this room, since we need to see well what we are cooking so as not to have any mishap. For this reason, we recommend you go for curtains that allow light to pass through and that are also short.
