Go with a striking contrast.

Mixing too many colors can overwhelm a small space. Keep the walls, cabinets and ceilings the same color, and then incorporate contrasting accents, such as a colored hood range, pendant lights and decorative knobs.

Group items by color.

Create a uniform look on any open-shelving system by organizing dishes or appliances by color. Not only does it look appealing, but it'll make it even easier to find what you're looking for the next time you're in the kitchen.

Replace upper cabinets with a collage of cubbies and floating shelves to make the most of your wall space. Keep everyday kitchen essentials in the lower cabinets, so you can reserve these spots for your prettier pieces.

Further proof that small doesn't equal boring. Mix and match different patterns and colors into your space, working your way up from the floors to the ceiling. Here, rich green cabinets are offset by a subway tile backsplash and black-and-white ceramic tile floor.

Stick shelves on any blank wall.

The narrower the space, the more important it is to take advantage of vertical space. Line a trio of shelves on a blank wall and fill them with your glassware and dishes, starting with your most-used items on the bottom shelf.

Embrace storage bins and sliding doors.

Install sliding cabinet doors and hide bulky kitchen appliances and pantry items behind them. Stash storage bins in empty shelves to conceal items you don't use very often.

If you're short on counter space, take a page from interior designer Jenn Feldman's book by building a butcher block board with a hole into the top drawer. Then, place a garbage can in the drawer below.

Use vertical space.

Make the most of your space by hanging pots in multiple places. Keep your most-used pots and pans above your oven, and then your speciality cookware above your kitchen island (or the other way around, you're call).

Be a maximalist with decor.

Or go in the other direction with over-the-top patterns, colors, rugs and decorative accents. Piling it on with purpose will help your space feel cozy, not overwhelmed.

Add a colorful rug.

A rug is sure to warm up a small kitchen, adding color and texture to an otherwise sparse area. If you're really short on space, go for a long runner instead.

Hang pots and pans.

Instead of taking up valuable cabinet space with these clunky items, hang them along on an unused wall. Start by hanging the biggest items first, then incorporate the medium-sized ones and finish with the smallest items.
