Turn small kitchen to stylish one

Darpan News Desk IANS, 15 Aug, 2014 09:47 AM
    Cramped cooking space doesn't mean you can't make it big. Hang your cabinet high or use theatrical colour to give a smart look to your kitchen.
     
    Here are some of the tricks, reports huffingtonpost.com:
     
    * Take the cabinet up: A cabinet hung high in a corner commands attention and draws the eye toward the ceiling. Going with bold wallpaper and art also distract from the size of the room.
     
    * Showstopping colour: Any theatrical colour like bright pink gets plenty of attention, and the cheap cupboards almost fade away. 
     
    * Monochromatic shelves: The shelves show off a tightly edited collection of plates and glasses, all within easy reach.
     
    * See-through acrylic shelf: It lightens a confined space and makes an artful collection of dishes appear to float. 
     
    * Smart seating arrangement: A scaled-down pedestal table plus comfortable stools that stay out of the way can make kitchen look attractive.
