When doing a small kitchen remodel, buying appliances to scale will increase visual appeal and allow you to use the space you save for workspace, storage, or moving around. You can find a refrigerator that is no deeper than your cabinets, as skinny as 24”, and short enough to fit under top cabinets. You just have to keep in mind that if you go small in all dimensions, you will sacrifice cubic feet. Nothing makes a room look smaller than having over-sized appliances or furnishings in it.

(Does everyone really need a spacious gourmet kitchen?) The real trick is to improve the form and function of what you have. Even if you can handle the work involved in the remodeling, it can be well worth it to invest in a professional designer to suggest what to do with the space. You pay the designer for the vision even if you do the work. As you imply, Woodrow, remodeling your kitchen cannot always include expanding it – either due to budget or due to need.

How can new home owners take a kitchen from impractical to practical and make it effective?

When designing small kitchens we usually install light tile floors maybe a crema marfil marble or a nice rectified porcelain, the light color will help in making the kitchen look bigger and the transition between tile and wood will help create the effect of a different -bigger- room than the rest of the house. There are nice crema marfil marble tiles available at places like www.sooplies.com that don't make you brake the bank and come out looking beautiful.

In addition to the great advice you offer, here are some other things that your readers might find useful as well. Glass is a great tool to help make your kitchen feel bigger. Consider creating a breakfast nook by cantilevering out a big bay window. Glass-surface and mirror counters expand the look of the room as well. Replacing your old cabinet doors with glass doors will also open up your kitchen. If your cabinets don’t reach the ceiling, you can also use that space for storage as well.
