6 Parisian Kitchen Style Hacks from Amelie + Rachel Khoo
While having a large, spacious kitchen would be great for those with large families or who frequently entertain, it may not be practical for those living in condos or small city apartments. Who needs a big kitchen anyway? Amelie and Rachel Khoo’s spaces are proof that small kitchen living can be cozy, stylish and livable if you make it so.
Here are six ways to maximize style and space in a tiny kitchen.
1. Go monochromatic. Paint the walls from floor to ceiling (and ceiling itself if desired) with a high gloss paint in one dramatic color (ex. Amelie’s red kitchen).
2. Choose cozy accessories.
Shop flea market finds and Anthropologie sales for hardware for cabinets, dish towels, small stackable bowls. A nice tile backsplash can add some color. Use color or graphic print in curtains and small rugs.
3. Organize like crazy. Match like items with like items (like cups, baking accessories and spices). Use stackable coffee mugs or stemless wine glasses to take up less storage space. Clear mason jars are perfect for organizing spices, flour, sugar, tea, coffee. Use clear bottles for oil and vinegar.
4. Utilize wall space to the max.
Open shelving to give the illusion of more space. If you prefer cabinets, try using cabinets with glass or semi-opaque, translucent material. You could also opt for a wall pot and plate rack if you don’t feel like figuring out where to put shelves.
5. Use your ceiling space. Ceiling racks are great for hanging your pots and pans.
6. Grow herbs on your windowsill. Herbs make a great decor in an attractive planter and could be used in cooking.
These six tips will have your kitchen feeling like a cozy Parisian bistro in no time.
