Whether you have a small kitchen or a cramped bathroom, you’re likely looking for ways to maximize your space and make the room feel a bit bigger. You may be surprised to learn that your countertops can significantly impact the look and feel of these small spaces, and the right countertop design can help make these rooms appear more spacious. Here are some tips for choosing and designing countertops that will help maximize small spaces.
Opt for Lighter Colors for Your Countertops
It’s well known that lighter colors can make a space feel more open, while darker colors can make a space feel smaller and more enclosed. This same principle applies to your countertops. They make up a significant portion of your kitchen or bathroom and, therefore, greatly impact how the space feels. Fortunately, many great countertop options can help you achieve your goals. Marble is known for its stunning white color with soft gray veining patterns. Additionally, granite, quartz, and porcelain are all available in a wide range of colors, including many variations of whites, grays, beiges, and other lighter shades.
Consider a Minimalist Countertop Design
Countertops are available in myriad patterns and designs. However, busy patterns and striking contrast may not be the right choice for a smaller space. Instead, solid colors and more subtle patterns may make the space feel bigger by reducing the chance of a cluttered appearance. When decorating your small space, minimizing the number of items placed on the countertops can similarly help make the room feel larger.
Choose Glossy Surfaces To Maximize Light
Most countertop options already feature a glossy surface, and these are ideal for small spaces as they help to reflect light and brighten the room. However, there are countertop options that feature a flatter finish, often called leathered finish, which may not reflect light as well. To maximize space, a lighter, polished, and minimalist countertop style will offer the best aesthetic to meet your goals.
