If you are trying to think of small kitchen remodeling ideas, do not be fooled into thinking that the only options are to knock down a wall or wait until you can buy a home with a larger kitchen. There are actually a lot of things that you can do that will deliver big results. There are cosmetic changes you can make that will make your kitchen appear larger, as well as small structural things to make the space more usable.
On a cosmetic level, you should lighten the wall color, as this will 
make the space appear larger. Using light colored cabinets instead of dark ones will brighten up your kitchen. Even lightening up your floors can boost the size of your kitchen. Adding more lighting in places such as under cabinets will illuminate your counter tops and give your kitchen a new feel.
If you need small kitchen remodeling ideas that will help you save or create space, consider what you can do vertically. For instance, most kitchens have dead space that can be converted to storage space between the top of the cupboards and the ceiling. Attaching a hanging pot and pan rack to your ceiling will free up storage space in lower cabinets. These can be purchased in a variety of styles and sizes from approximately $80 and upwards. Also, adding organizing tools within your cabinets make for a better use of the space within those cabinets.
At most parties, people tend to gather near the cook, and when you have a small cooking space, there is simply not enough room to accommodate them. However, you can knock out a large opening in your wall and install a bar. This will create a gathering place for guests while still leaving the kitchen workspace free for your cooking. Whether you decide to utilize some of these small kitchen remodeling ideas or create your own, you will be sure to enjoy the extra room and the new look of your remodeled space.
