Quotes from San Francisco Kitchen Remodeling Contractors
It may be small. It may seem crowded. But with the help of San Francisco’s finest kitchen remodelers, even the smallest kitchens can seem more open, inviting and spacious.
Kitchen remodeling in San Francisco is really not a whole lot different than kitchen remodeling anywhere else. In fact, San Francisco, like many other metropolitan cities, has thousands of apartments, town homes and even small single family homes where kitchen space is limited.
So, when kitchen remodeling in San Francisco (or anywhere else, for that matter), what can you do to really make over your home’s kitchen into something even more spectacular?
1. Choose lighter colors to create the illusion of a larger space. Whites, creams and pastel colors create a more open, spacious feel while deeper, darker colors like navy and burgundy tend to create a more closed in feel (something you don’t want if you kitchen space is already small).
2. Smartly utilize space. Suspend pots and pans and use baskets and bins to keep clutter off counters. A minimalist approach is often best in small kitchens; the less you have on countertops and other surface space, the more open (and larger) the kitchen will seem.
3. Never underestimate the power of natural light. Even a small window will let in light, so take advantage of any windows you have. Pull back your blinds or curtains and let in natural sunlight, which always creates a warm, but spacious feel in even the smallest spaces.
4. Choose laminates and backsplashes that work together with your lighting. This will create the illusion of a larger space. Dark laminates, much like dark cabinetry or dark paint colors, will make your kitchen seem more closed in. But colors like turquoise, sky blue and yellow instantly work with the light to create a more lively feel.
5. Make sure your kitchen furniture fits your kitchen’s size and style. For example, don’t let your kitchen table overtake the entire kitchen; instead, invest in a smaller table that fits your more petite surroundings. And don’t be afraid to pick up a less expensive, less bulky hutch. You can get away with less pricey furniture when you have smaller kitchen space, simply because your space won’t fit a bulky hutch or table.
6. Don’t forget to place some fresh sunflowers, daisies or other plants around your kitchen. They’ll give it an instant vibrancy!
