On the other hand, if you use the space wisely, you&#39;ll end up with a kitchen that seems impossibly open and airy. Maximize your kitchen space using these pro hacks.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Keep the colors consistent. <\/strong>If you combine a bunch of different vibrant colors, your kitchen will feel choppy and, ultimately, smaller than it is. Instead, pick one color and use it consistently in varying shades throughout the kitchen. This will make everything feel cohesive and also create the illusion of extra space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring the natural light. <\/strong>Sunshine instantly makes any room feel bigger, so invite it into your kitchen. Enlist gauzy curtains or skip the curtains altogether and drench your kitchen in natural light. You can also add a mirror opposite the window to double the amount of sunlight in the space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add open shelving. <\/strong>If you have extra wall space, fill it with open shelving. This allows you to display your favorite dishes or ingredients that you use often, and it also helps to open up your kitchen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep it neat and tidy. <\/strong> Clutter will quickly make your kitchen feel cramped. Keep things in order to open up your kitchen and give the illusion of extra square footage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/5-things-that-make-a-small-kitchen-look-bigger-250200\" target=\"_blank\">5 Things That Make a Small Kitchen Look Bigger<\/a> [The Kitchn]<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/design\/rooms\/living-and-dining-rooms\/13-ways-to-make-a-small-living-room-look-bigger-pictures\" target=\"_blank\">13 Ways to Make a Small Living Room Look Bigger<\/a> [HGTV]<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.remodelista.com\/posts\/how-to-make-a-room-look-bigger-11-expert-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">Expert Advice: 11 Tips for Making a Room Look Bigger<\/a> [Remodelista]<\/p>\n<div class=\"pophld\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/apartments.naproperties.com\/nap-cincinnatiwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/tap_791172_640_640.jpg\" style=\"margin:0;padding:0;\" title=\"Pixabay\/kaboompics\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:0;padding:0;clear:both;\"><em>Public Domain\/<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/en\/tap-black-faucet-kitchen-sink-791172\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pixabay\/kaboompics<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you&#39;re working with limited space in your kitchen, the room can quickly feel cramped depending on the design choices you make.
