A popular way to increase the useful space of a kitchen is to combine it with the living room.

But redevelopment is not an easy task, and when going to the authorities is scary or there is not enough time, then you will have to use every square meter of space.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior, shared advice on how to make a cramped kitchen more spacious.

Tip one – headset

There is no need to choose a standard kitchen set for a typical kitchen. Don't be lazy and order furniture according to individual calculations.

A popular solution is a wardrobe that covers the entire wall or an upper tier that goes all the way to the ceiling.

Both options save you from such trouble as cleaning sticky residue. There will also be more storage space.

Tip two – built-in appliances

This technique allows you to perceive the kitchen and appliances as a single whole.

In this case, the refrigerator, dishwasher, hob and oven will merge into a single ensemble.

Tip three – color

The easiest way to “push” the walls and “raise” the ceiling without re-planning.

Designers advise using the following technique: choose a kitchen that matches the color of the walls or make them the same color.

Then the furniture will merge with the wall and the kitchen will definitely seem larger than it actually is.
