Spacious kitchens are luxurious. However, a small kitchen can only be functional and beautiful if well designed. Whether it is a narrow kitchen in the historic home or alcoholic leaves in your study apartment, there are ways to create an illusion of additional space in this often used room.
We asked three designers to share their favorite colors for use in a small kitchen and has it itchy to pick up a color roller.
Warm, van-white
All three designers we talked with agreed that white with warm subtons are a perfect choice of colors to create an illusion of more space in the kitchen.
“Hot white with just touching jerk is perfect for walls and ceilings in small kitchens,” says Designer Jacqueline Gonçalve. “Nice reflects natural light, helps open space and couples with almost any color accents. It is a timeless choice.”

Dusty green
A muffled green gray is another color that has quoted more than one designer as a color for painting small cuisine.
“These shades are mean, low contrast and slightly excluded, so visually back. The surface bounces less light in the eye, letting fall in the background,” says Saab. “That softness descends the visual noise and leaves the room that feels.”
Gonçalve likes using green-gray color in combination with warm white and earthen tones in a small kitchen.
“I love this color for closets, but it would be great and on the walls with kitchens with colored wood cabinets,” she says.
Light to medium shades of blue

Designer Karen Germond is always pulling in the use of shades of light and medium blue in their design, but especially in small kitchens, because it adds a feeling of light and ventilation to space. To really use this effect, she says she paired him with white.
“Combining blue and white in the kitchens, especially smaller, creates a soft and pleasant contrast that does not prevail space,” she says.
According to her, blue is a great choice for closets paired with white walls and vice versa.
Mushrooms and tones of whale
The mushroom tone is Saab’s is-to-cabinerie when square footage is tight, and it often steams with walls that have a similar value of the light reflection.
“High-contrast kitchens are taking a good photograph but personally, a sharp decline between a dark and lightweight basket in pieces,” warns. “Taupey Midwife melt and the border so your eye slides unhindered, tricking the brain in reading more volume. Pair them with a warm white wall and suddenly feels layered, liquid and double his size.”
Cool-toned gray
If your small kitchen contains any colored wooden characteristics on floors or cabinets, Gonçalve suggests trying the cold tinted gray on the walls. Then, finish your eyes with a creamy white covering.
“Top-ups of wood tones and couples nicely with outer whiteers,” she says.
