If your kitchen feels cramped, removing all or some of your upper cabinets may be your best option. This is a sure-fire way to open up the visual space around the room, making the kitchen appear larger than it is.
Plenty of light is important in a small space, and upper cabinets can sometimes cast shadows on countertops, making the workplace feel darker than necessary. So dropping those overhead can really open up a space. Tiling a ceiling backsplash can also help enhance the look of a room.
If you’re worried about losing storage by dropping upper cabinets, consider a hardworking island, if you have the space, or consult a design professional to really maximize your lower cabinet storage with pullouts, drawers, and other high-functioning components.
