The home décor industry and its rapid developments and innovativeness are doing away with our problems in a jiffy. Having a small kitchen seems to be the least of a worry.

If you have a small kitchen then the very first step would be to simplify it. Avoid cluttering the little space available. Use in-built wall cabinets and use the space below the countertop by building in drawers. In this way the countertop will be free of any cutleries, storing items, hand towels, and other kitchen knick-knacks.
Use short, light blinds or curtains instead of heavy ornamental draperies. Paint your cabinets in a solid, light color. Use decorative baskets, counters and boxes to store and display cooking utensils, glasses, cups. Organize items. Avoid bulky appliances. Bulky food items such as boxes of cereals, flour, and sugar can be stored away in kitchen furniture. Avoid cluttering the walls with paintings.
