How To Make Your Small Kitchen Feel Bigger

1 Oct

I’m back this week with a little love for the small but mighty kitchen. If your kitchen didn’t get top billing—this episode is for you.

Kitchens often have to work the hardest in the home, and when expanding isn’t an option, it’s all about making the most of what you have.
Today, I’m sharing practical tips and a few interior design solutions to help you make your small kitchen feel bigger, brighter, and better.

We’ll chat through:

Lighting that flatters and functions – from hidden LEDs to layered lighting plans that bring warmth and brightness even to windowless kitchens.
Layout love – why your floor plan is your best friend, how to test different configurations, and why every centimetre counts.
Optical illusions – reflective surfaces, continuous flooring, and mirrored splashbacks that trick the eye and stretch the space.
Storage (of course!) – deep drawers over cupboards, slim pull-out ladders, and even those genius kick drawers you might not have considered.
Breaking the boundaries – how to borrow light and sightlines from adjacent rooms without knocking down all the walls.

If you’ve got a small kitchen, don’t despair—you’re in the right place. I’ll see you inside!
