Small kitchens are what we do and no kitchen layout is smaller than the one wall kitchen. One wall kitchens are pretty much exactly as they sound. They are kitchens all fixed onto one wall and do have the luxury of much space.

If you have a one wall kitchen or you are looking to renovate that bane of your existence let me guide you through the best tips to get the most out of your small one wall kitchen.

We shall start with 4 expert tips on how to get the most out of your Small One Wall Kitchen and later in the post we shall cover the pros and cons.

1. Lighting Is Where It’s At

No matter what you choose, for your wall kitchen please make sure that there are no dark corners and shadows in there.

Task lighting, recessed lights, and LED strip lighting can be combined beautifully for an even layer of lighting. Obviously, most of these kitchens do not rely on pendants for illumination.

Next to this one-wall kitchen can use pendants to drive away any sense of dullness and add to a space that might need a feature.

2. How High Can You Go

My friend, you will need to use the entire of that space to get the most out of your one-wall kitchen. Try taking your wall cabinets to the ceiling.

Now yes that is more costly but it achieves two things. One it gives you a lot more above-head storage.

Second, it creates a feeling of height and space in your small kitchen, and who does not want that.

3. Open Shelves

Please if you can add open shelves to your one-wall kitchen design to make it more functional. The absence of doors can create more space; thus, open shelves are practical in a limited-space kitchen layout.

4. Ideally Add A Island Benchtop

I know what you are thinking Jim I have no space! and I know one-wall kitchen layouts do not have the space to include an island.

Now if you do though it is important you add an island benchtop. Island benchtop is like upgrading your PlayStation one to a PlayStation 5 and for you nongamers out there it is like going from black and white to color.

The island benchtop will open up your life in ways you do not even understand from storage to table ideas the island benchtop can be the Hail Mary for small kitchens.
