Unique Design Ideas that Make Your Kitchen Look Bigger

When you build a kitchen in a limited space, it is bound to look small. The boundaries get cramped due to the addition of cabinets and other fixtures. You might find it cramped and uninspiring as a daily use area. The good news is that creating the illusion of a more spacious area is simple.


Consult the Experts in Kitchen Design


You can always consult a leading kitchen designer in Edmonton to create a visual illusion of a larger space. Here, you can get assistance from experts with vast knowledge of different types of designs. Applying the right design tricks can increase your kitchen space's visual and functional properties.


How to Create a Visually Wider Kitchen Space?


Here are a few design adjustments that can add more functional space to your kitchen.


Choosing the Right Color Palette


Implementing the right shades can make your kitchen look brighter. As a result, the space would look more widely distributed, creating a visual illusion of a larger area. Lighter colors like white create a clean yet light-reflecting surface. Think of it as a blank canvas where you can add more designer elements. However, be careful not to go overboard with designer or functional elements, as they can make the kitchen feel cluttered and dull.


Open Shelving


Are you planning to design your upper kitchen with cabinets? Then, it is better to opt for the open-shelved ones. They save a significant amount of space. They create a horizontal visual point that drags the eye across the room and offers a wider space. However, determine the number of upper cabinets you want to add to your kitchen. Too many cabinets may make your space feel cramped and tight.


Apply the Right Finish


Adding a variety of textures and materials to a small space can elevate it. For a modern kitchen, you can apply reflective agents on the shelves and other parts. Reflect natural light as much as you can, as this creates a wider illusion of space.

We stumbled upon our new Order Management service after hearing the frustration of ordering an Ikea kitchen from our clients. Are you familiar with purchasing things like furniture from Ikea? If you are then you know about all the boxes. Every piece is in it’s own box. Now when you purchase a kitchen from Ikea there are literally hundreds of boxes. And since covid there have been all kinds of global supply problems. For some reason Ikea has been hit extra hard. There once was a time when you went into an Ikea, purchased your kitchen and the entire kitchen was there. You brought it home and started assembling it that day. Those days are long gone. Now when you go to purchase your kitchen maybe 75% of it is there for you take home. And yes, you have to take it home that day or have it delivered. You purchase what is in stock and then you are handed a couple different pieces of paper with all the items that are not in stock. You see the picture above with the order information, that’s all the out of stock items for one kitchen. And now you are on your own to check online, everyday to see if any of your items have arrived, then make multiple trip to Ikea to pick up these stragglers. So while you find a spot to safely store all of these boxes somewhere in your home, you get the privilege of obsessing over the Ikea website for the next month or two waiting for the rest of kitchen to arrive. And you better click and collect those items because by the time you get to the store they could be sold out before the doors even open, it’s happened to me. Its complicated for me and I do it all the time. It can get really frustrating if you have never done it before.
