Policrete uses our proprietary surface systems—resin-based and panel-based—for seamless floors, walls, and countertops. Light colors and thoughtful lighting can help small kitchens feel more open.
Recently, the kitchen has evolved from a simple cooking space to a multifunctional hub. While not everyone has a large country kitchen, small kitchens don’t have to feel cramped or unattractive. Flooring is a key aspect of any kitchen, and Policrete offers practical guidance to create harmony and support a more spacious feel in small kitchens. Whether you’re planning a major redesign, a new floor, or just changing the colors, here are some things to consider.
Remodeling your kitchen with the Policrete system is a strong option. We can refinish your countertops and walls and specify slip-resistant surfaces in a range of colors and finish directions. Our team supplies and applies the system as part of the project scope, with details aligned to the existing surface conditions.
Natural light can transform your kitchen, making it feel more spacious and open. If installing a new window isn’t an option, consider adding more lighting. Update ceiling lights and add under-cabinet lighting to brighten countertop areas. Track lighting allows you to position lights to achieve more even illumination throughout the space. Practical lighting choices are key to making the most of your kitchen's layout.
For small kitchens, light colors on the flooring and walls are ideal. White is popular because it can create an illusion of space. Mild yellows and creams are also excellent choices. Please remember your flooring—Policrete offers a variety of colors and finish options to support your kitchen’s overall design direction.
Essential kitchen components include a sink, stove, oven, and refrigerator. When designing your kitchen, consider options like replacing upper cabinet doors with glass or eliminating them entirely for a less dense appearance. Maximize lower cabinet space with innovative solutions like kick drawers, which utilize the space at the base of the cabinet.
For added functionality, consider a foldable table that can be stored against a wall when not in use. This approach is similar to old ironing boards that were tucked away in cabinets. Dual-purpose furniture, like a cork or whiteboard table topper, can also be useful.
Decorating a small kitchen requires thoughtful consideration to avoid clutter. A minimalist aesthetic can create a sense of space and calm. Built-in kitchens are ideal for this design, as they can be customized to fit any area precisely. If you have space, an island in the center can provide extra storage.
• U-shaped kitchens: Arrange furnishings in a U-shape if the kitchen has three walls. Place the stove on one side, the sink on another, and a workspace in the middle for maximum comfort.
• L-shaped kitchens: Common in spacious kitchens, these utilize a corner and leave room in the center for a breakfast nook, bar, or island.
• One-sided kitchens: In kitchens that resemble a corridor, maximize wall space by using one side for work areas and the other for messages, folding tables, or other items.
By following these guidelines and incorporating the Policrete system on floors or countertops, you can achieve a clean, contemporary look for your kitchen.
