5 tips to make condo kitchens look and feel bigger

Creating dream kitchens for today’s modern condo dwellers means selecting elements that fl awlessly combine form and function to make the most of small spaces. Here are some expert tricks that give the appearance of a larger kitchen without compromising on design or storage.

The right cabinetry will organize essentials while freeing up counter space, prime real estate in every kitchen. Homeowners will love Panasonic’s versatile cabinet systems that boast space-saving features like movable and pull-down racks that make everyday items both tidy and easily accessible. Options like glass-front cabinet doors pull the eye into the depths of the cabinets, enlarging the area by making the walls feel further away. Just encourage clients to keep everything visible through the glass clutter-free and colour-coordinated.

Draw the eye upward with vertical lines in the backsplash or wall, or by placing decorative items atop the cabinets. Similarly, slender furnishings and clean lines work to extend the space. A bright kitchen fl ooded with light completes the bigger look, so keep windows bare or use minimal window treatments for privacy. If the kitchen doesn’t have a window, add plenty of task and ambient lighting to keep things bright.

Smaller rooms often require thinking outside the box. Give your clients inspired strategic solutions that take advantage of every nook and cranny. Think magnetic spice jars on the fridge, installing storage hooks into the wall or ceiling to hang mugs, and a movable island or bar cart for flexible extra storage space.
