Whether you live in the city or the county, you want your kitchen to harbor a sense of calm. Coming home after a long day of work to a cramped and inefficient kitchen can add to an already stressful day. With tips from interior design experts, your small kitchen can feel expansive and airy. During your remodeling project, these space-saving design tips will make your tiny kitchen feel large and accommodating.

Reflective Surfaces Help

The addition of mirrors into a small space to make it feel larger has been an interior design trick for a long time. While this concept was used ad nauseam in the sixties and seventies, using mirrors to create the illusion of more space is still used today — just in a much more modern, scaled-down way. In a small kitchen, consider adding a mirrored backsplash behind your sink and along your walls. This can be neatly and elegantly done with reflective tiles that can open up your space without taking down any walls.

Keep Colors Light

When it comes to paint colors, appliances, and fixtures, remember to keep it light. Choosing light colors makes your kitchen space feel less cramped and crowded. Dark and heavy colors can make your kitchen space feel cluttered and generally drab. Pick neutral colors like creams, grays, and beiges to create an airy ambiance.

Open Up Shelves

Open shelving is an easy way to create an expansive feel. Adding glass cabinet doors or eliminating doors altogether makes your kitchen feel lighter and less weighed down with unnecessary cabinetry. It’s impossible to get rid of cabinetry in a kitchen, so make it as minimal as possible. Also, open shelving forces you to keep your cabinets as neatly organized as they can be, maximizing efficiency and overall appearance.

Brighten Up Your Space

Lighting is everything in interior design, and the kitchen is no different than any other room in the house. In fact, in a kitchen, being able to see is critical to cooking and prep work. Add at much lighting as you can, but remember that fixtures should be light colors. Opt for bulbs that create a welcoming, warm glow; not a harsh, white glow.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
