5. Pay Attention to Your Flooring

You need to carefully pay attention to some details if you want to create the illusion of a bigger kitchen. For instance, choosing the right tile may help you create the illusion of space. Contrary to popular thinking, a larger tile works better when it comes to achieving optical illusions. A smaller tile means more grout joints which can draw attention away from the tile and close the space.

Many kitchen designers recommend a 900 x 600 tile which has a pretty versatile size that fits well in both larger and small kitchens.

Instead of tile, you can opt for a wood effect with porcelain which seems to be extremely popular nowadays due to its narrow and long format that works great in tighter areas. Choosing a complementary grout color will make the grout less noticeable which tends to visually open the space out.
