So, this article is for those who seek a progressive and barrier-breaking lifestyle when it comes to the kitchen.

5. Have a ‘kitchen island’ to work as a breakfast, lunch, and dinner table

• Tall interior glass doors, cabinets, or partitions in a kitchen create the illusion of a much more spacious place
• With glass, you can go all-dark or all-white because the natural or artificial light can penetrate through the glass
• Coupled with this, open shelves make the place even more attractive

8. Using minimal utensils, cutlery, plates

• A lot of space is saved by using just the right amount of kitchen items like cooking utensils, plates, side plates, bowls, and all the cooking accessories
• Even if you buy a complete dinner set of 12 plates of each type, it is better to pick just the right number e.g. 4 each
• It is advisable to pack the extras, or, better still NOT buy them at all!

9. Buy or re-purpose furniture that allows storage
