IDEAS FOR SMALL SIZED KITCHEN
- Color theme.
A small sized kitchen looks really cute if well managed. But did you know that you can make it look big? Yes you can! Light colors make things look bigger. Paint your kitchen walls with light colored paints. This will help your kitchen look bigger.
It is also very trendy to paint the two opposite walls in one color and the other two in some other. This gives a good contrast to the walls and also looks elegant.
- Wall hangings
We always look for stylish wall hangings for the walls of our bedrooms and sitting rooms. One or two little wall hangings will look very well in your kitchen. If you do not want to make it look too congested, you can hang a key holder or a cutlery stand with the wall. This helps empty some shelf space as well.
- Small kitchen table and cutlery
A small kitchen may not be able to hold a large table but a small kitchen table or a couple of chairs would do well.
Kitchen table can be decorated with table mats. These mats look really good if they match the wall paint color. A small vase in the middle with fresh flowers will give a refreshing feeling when you sit for a cup of coffee after a tiring day!

Kitchen looks beautiful when it is bright. The lights in your kitchen can be white or can also be according to the theme of your kitchen if it is not a dark one.
IDEAS FOR LARGE SIZED KITCHEN

- Wall décor
A large kitchen can be easily decorated with wall hangings of different sizes. If you want to hang fruit painting with one of the walls, it will look nice.
A calendar with the wall to help you keep track of things and make notes on it will be helpful. It helps you to remember the important upcoming events.
- Kitchen table and cutlery
If you have a big family, your large kitchen will help you easily accommodate a large kitchen table. You can easily place a six or head chaired dining table at one side.
Black and white colors make a good contrast in the kitchen. White painted walls with black furniture or the vice versa goes quite well.
You can place knitted table mats, a flower vase and a cutlery set onto the table. A holder for different sauces also takes a small space so you can keep it on your kitchen table.
- Some more tips
A large kitchen can accommodate a large sized refrigerator or deep freezer. You can decorate its lid with stickers that your children love to see. They can be some informative ones to help them learn while eating
If your kitchen has a window in it, use blinds. Curtains in kitchen do not look good in the kitchen.

IDEAS FOR SMALL OUTDOOR KITCHEN
- Make it clean and green
An outdoor kitchen will most probably be in your lawn. Make the grass of the lawn well trimmed and leveled. This gives a very nice impression to the guests.
- Keep some portion covered
Living in an area with high rainfall rate? Keep a portion of your kitchen covered. Set your kitchen table and chairs under the shade. If rain falls, you can enjoy the view sitting there with a cup of tea or coffee.
- Keep the direction of wind in mind!
In an outdoor kitchen, be very cautious while installing your stove if it is operated using gas. This helps you cook easily without the problem of getting fire extinguished due to wind every now and then. If you have a thermal cooking range then it is not a problem.
Outdoor kitchens let you do barbeque whenever you like because all the mess gets cleaned easily leaving your kitchen tidy and beautiful.
