How to Make a Small Kitchen Feel Bigger with White Shaker Cabinets
A small kitchen doesn’t have to feel cramped or limiting. With smart design choices and the right cabinets, you can create a space that feels open, bright, and functional. At Jessen Cabinets, we specialize in White Shaker Style RTA cabinets—a perfect solution for making compact kitchens look and feel more spacious.
1. Embrace the Brightness of White
White reflects light, which instantly makes any space feel larger and more open. Our White Shaker Cabinets have a clean, crisp finish that enhances natural and artificial light, giving your kitchen a fresh, airy feel. Whether you’re dealing with limited square footage or minimal windows, white cabinetry helps combat that closed-in look.
2. Keep It Simple with Shaker Style
The Shaker style is known for its minimalistic and timeless design. The clean lines and unembellished structure create a streamlined look that reduces visual clutter—a key factor in making a small space feel more expansive. This simple aesthetic blends beautifully with various styles, whether modern, farmhouse, or transitional.
3. Optimize Your Layout with Our Design Team
In a small kitchen, every inch counts. That’s why our in-house kitchen designers are here to help you make the most of your layout. We’ll work with you to maximize storage, improve functionality, and ensure that your space looks balanced and cohesive. Smart cabinet placement can make a huge difference in flow and usability.
4. Consider Open Shelving or Glass-Front Doors
Mixing solid cabinet doors with open shelving or glass-front options can create depth and break up the space visually. While we specialize in classic White Shaker cabinets, we can offer layout ideas that include open spaces or creative configurations to keep things light and layered.
5. Add Vertical Storage
Take advantage of vertical space by installing taller upper cabinets. This draws the eye upward and gives the illusion of higher ceilings, helping the kitchen feel larger. It also provides additional storage—always a plus in a smaller kitchen.
6. Keep the Color Palette Light and Cohesive
Pair your White Shaker Cabinets with light countertops, neutral backsplashes, and soft-toned flooring. A cohesive palette helps unify the space and avoid visual breaks that can make a small kitchen feel even smaller.
A small kitchen has big potential—especially when you choose the right cabinets. With Jessen Cabinets’ White Shaker RTA cabinets, you get style, durability, and a space-maximizing solution designed to make your kitchen feel larger and more welcoming.
