Tricks To Make Your Log Home Kitchen Appear Bigger

There are many tricks to making your small kitchen appear larger. For example, vertical stripes on pine siding has an heightening appearance, as well, tall cabinets will draw the eye upwards. To make your kitchen feel larger overall you should carefully plan its main elements. Use the same flooring in adjoining rooms that you use in your kitchen, and if you keep the floor colour close to the cabinet colour it will have an even larger impact. Glass fronted cabinets also open up a kitchen while providing a space to display china. Shiny brass or chrome hardware will reflect the surfaces of the room, making it appear larger. One of the biggest trends in kitchens today is an open floorplan. If you have limited space in your kitchen your best option might be a galley-style kitchen. They may be small but highly functional and efficient. So, if you want to creat the illusiom of more space, consider placing a window at the end of the room, and finally a clutter-free counter will also give you the illusion of more space.
