There’s no need to be running over each other in a small kitchen when trying to cook dinner. If you are currently suffering from a small kitchen space with overstuffed drawers and scooting room only, careful space planning can help! Your small kitchen space can be transformed into a cozy, efficient, and organized model kitchen. Take a look at a few tips featured on Kitchens.com.

Storage and Organization. Go all the way to the ceiling with your upper cabinets for barely used items and the bottom cabinets can be made more accessible with rollout shelves, lazy susans, and tilt-out bins.
Light and Light Colors. You need good task lighting for a small kitchen space. More natural light and lights under the cabinets are wonderful ways to brighten up the space.
Appliance Selection and Location. Improve traffic flow by thoughtfully selecting and placing appliances. Example: build the microwave into the cabinetry.
Take Down a Wall. Opening up the kitchen to an adjoining room like the family room can create more space, however, consult your home contractor to see if there is a non-load-bearing wall or two that can be removed.
