Just like in any part of the house, the kitchen also requires a certain amount of inspiration when it comes to actualising a theme that will make it a concrete decorative design in a manner that combines functionality and beauty. This planning is even more important in developing a kitchen that is appealing and practical at the same time. Its dimensions are to a large extent responsible in requiring a person to be creative in order to maximise the given space. Remember, though, that even small spaces can be just as beautiful and cozy.

When your kitchen space is small, that means optimising the available surface is more than necessary. Distributing its functions in a sleek grey and white design. A nice way to make the space appear brighter is by adding some lighting embedded under the upper cupboards, providing a simple, practical and functional design application.

17. Customize the furniture to give it more personality
