Small Kitchen, Big Upgrade: Clever Ways to Create Space You Didn’t Know You Had

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen – Custom Cabinetry, Cabinet Refacing & Kitchen Remodeling Experts

A small kitchen doesn’t have to limit your creativity or workflow. With smart design choices and intentional planning, even the most compact spaces can feel open, efficient, and inviting. Whether your kitchen is decades old or simply ready for a refresh, these proven strategies will help you unlock more space and functionality.

1. Reimagine the Storage You Already Have

In most small kitchens, the biggest challenge isn’t the square footage—it’s how the existing storage is used.

Before you commit to major structural changes, look at how your cabinets are functioning.
Cabinet refacing combined with interior storage upgrades can dramatically improve both appearance and usability. Features like:

  • Pull-out organizers
  • Tiered shelving
  • Vertical dividers
  • Corner lazy Susans

…allow your existing layout to work smarter, not harder.

2. Choose Custom Cabinetry When Your Layout Needs More Help

Some kitchens—especially those built 20+ years ago—were not designed for today’s appliances or workflow.
In those cases, custom cabinetry from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen is often the most effective solution.

Custom-built cabinets can:

  • Turn awkward corners into functional storage
  • Extend to the ceiling for added space
  • Fit deeper drawers for bulky cookware
  • Maximize every inch of your unique layout

It’s the most strategic way to eliminate wasted space and create a kitchen designed around how you cook and live.
