How to Create the Illusion of Space in Your Kitchen
When it comes to kitchens, bigger is not always better. Learn how to create the illusion of space in your kitchen in this HGTV video:
Keep anything from the countertop up – walls, cabinets, backsplash – in a light color.
Add under-cabinet lighting to illuminate your backsplash and countertops. Fixtures cost about $30 at most home improvement stores.
Bring the focal point down to eye level by taking cabinets up to the ceiling.
Use a custom vent hood to add character and create a center of interest. A vent hood made from distressed wood can be custom built for under $500.
