When you are short on space, you may feel limited in what you can do with a kitchen remodel. However, there are many different ideas you can use to create a stunning new look. Here are just a few options you can consider for your kitchen's new design:
Corner Appliances
Who says you have to use your appliances in the traditional way? You can make use of awkward corners in the kitchen by having your contractor install custom counters and cabinets that let you slide your dishwasher, stove, or refrigerator into the corner. This is a great option if you have a bare wall with just an appliance, as you can then use that space for a dining table or kitchen island.
Breakfast Bar Cabinets
If your home doesn't have an open layout, consider tearing down part of a wall to create a breakfast bar area. Opening up the space in your home can help to make it feel bigger, and it gives you a way to connect with your family in the other room, even when you are cooking. Work with your contractor to create this open design, and install a counter with kitchen cabinets underneath. With this option, you don't lose much kitchen storage space, but you create a place for the family to enjoy a meal together without having to fit a table and chairs in the kitchen. Accent this area with a row of pendant lights hanging over the counter, and add a few cozy stools for comfortable seating.
Drawer Refrigerator And Freezer
Your refrigerator can take up a lot of real estate in your kitchen, and it doesn't have to. Instead of choosing a traditional fridge, have your contractor install drawer refrigerator and freezer units in your cabinet line. They take up minimal room, and when placed next to each other in the kitchen, they deliver ample storage space. Plus, having them under your counters means you can easily grab ingredients for meal preparation. Use the space where your refrigerator used to be to create a mini pantry, so you have a place to organize your dry goods. Your contractor can build a custom pantry, or you can select one that matches your current cabinet design.
Ask your contractor about other options for making the most out of your small kitchen. With a few creative ideas, you can create a truly inspired place to prepare meals for your family. Contact a company like Cabinet Cottage LLC for more information and assistance.

After I started focusing seriously on making my home look and feel brand new, it occurred to me that I needed to do something to make things even better. I started working with a team of remodeling contractors, and although I didn't always understand their decisions, it became apparent pretty quickly that they understood what they were doing. They worked with us each and every day to make things right, and I was really impressed with their level of professionalism.
