Paint It White

White is your best friend in a small kitchen. It reflects the light, which enhances the sense of space and makes the walls seem to recede. When you carry the white from the cabinetry to the countertops, walls, and ceiling, you create a seamless space without edges or boundaries to stop the eye. Use several shades of white and combine contrasting textures to keep an all-white room from feeling sterile. Recessed-panel cabinets and crown molding add subtle shadow patterns that add interest, too. Concentrate colorful accents in one area for a focal point that takes your attention away from the small size of the room.
