Long narrow kitchens present a few design and functionality concerns. Without taking these issues into account, you risk presenting a cluttered and unwelcoming space to your guests. Luckily, we’ve curated the top tips and tricks for styling your kitchen for more optimal space.
With limited space, the storage appears to be practically nonexistent in a long narrow kitchen. Bypass this concern by getting smarter with your organization. Use wall space by adding shelves and hooks.
Purchase lazy susans and pan organizers for your cabinets. Use solutions like tall cabinets, open shelving, and windowsill space to fit everything you need in your kitchen.
Avoid a dark kitchen by strategically placing lighting in different places you need. Hang pendant lights above the sink, put recessed lighting in the ceiling, and consider mounting lights underneath the cabinets.
Whenever possible, accentuate natural lighting through a window by leaving off curtains and adding mirrored surfaces to your space. Keeping lighting and organizational space in mind, you have myriads of options.
When you need more natural light in a small space, why not cut out a skylight in the ceiling? Skylights add a much larger amount of natural light than a single window.
Not only so, but a skylight provides light that would otherwise need to be supplemented by artificial lights. Natural light provides a calming, peaceful ambiance, which is much needed in a cramped kitchen.
If you love cooking, you will need lots of counter space for cutting boards and food preparation. If you use your kitchen more for food storage and occasional cooking, you have more room for storing your items on your countertops.
When you design your kitchen, make sure that it reflects your personality, your needs, and a welcoming atmosphere.
