Kitchen remodeling for a small kitchen can be a challenge for many homeowners. When considering kitchen remodeling for a small kitchen, the goal is generally to make it appear bigger and be more functional. There are simple redesign elements that homeowners can incorporate to achieve the desired outcome. The following tips can help homeowners find more space in their kitchen.

The first step in remodeling a small kitchen is to consider what areas are most important for the functionality of the space. Generally, the homeowner should think about what bothers them the most about the room and start from there. This should be their priority so if the budget is cut, they will be sure to solve the most important problems first.

Usually, at the top of the list is more storage space. There are countless storage options on the market today. These include built-in features such as pull-out shelves, slide-out drawers and tilt-out bins. A mix of deep and shallow drawers in the right spots can add space to a small kitchen. The deep cabinets can include additional shelves, pullouts or Lazy Susans. Having enough storage space to clear off the counters and reduce clutter is key to making a kitchen appear larger.

To add more counter space, homeowners can include pot racks and a magnetic spice rack or knife space. Appliances can also be a challenge when remodeling a kitchen to maximize space. Shopping around for unique sizes should be done to find the desired ones.

Homeowners can make their kitchen appear larger by choosing the right color of paint, lighting and arrangement. The paint should be light colors as should the cabinets. For curtains, a light fabric and color, with a fine texture will make the room appear bigger. Since windows could be scarce in a small kitchen, consider a skylight. This will add natural light that will brighten up the room and make it feel larger and lighter.

And remember lighting! Inexpensive under-cabinet and task lighting can make a huge difference in the overall feel and usefulness of the space.

Some more great advice.  Kitchens really can make a big difference - both while living there and later for resale.  You definitely do need to prioritize as the costs do add up.
