The most important features to consider for a small kitchen remodel are storage, functionality, lighting, flooring, and wall treatments. Maximizing storage with smart cabinetry and shelving solutions, improving functionality with multi-functional appliances and ergonomic design, enhancing lighting to make the space feel brighter and more open, upgrading flooring and walls to improve the look and feel of the space, and incorporating design elements that make the kitchen feel bigger, brighter, and more inviting are key components of a successful small kitchen remodel.
