Microcement gives spaces a sense of spaciousness. Due to its ability to reflect natural light, it enhances the light in the kitchen highlighting pleasant and fresh tones.
A multitude of textures and inspiring finishes

Many families spend more and more time in the kitchen, which has led to a surge in kitchen remodel projects. In many cases, professionals face projects that seek to renovate or expand this part of the house.
But, what happens if it is a small kitchen? Or if the customer thinks they have an impractical kitchen? The reality is that small kitchens can also be functional and aesthetically pleasing if the maximum advantage is taken of the space.
Find "its" layout
The first thing to do is find the best possible layout to make the most of the space. L-shaped kitchens are practical, attractive to see, and adapt very well to any interior design style of the house.
Brighten with luminosity
Besides the layout, brightness is also a very important factor for a cozy and warm kitchen. This is fundamental to guarantee a perception of spaciousness and cleanliness, which is achieved by combining with the application of microcement. Similarly, having a window or a gallery also helps, as it lets in unfiltered natural light.
Select the ideal color
Order, space, and contrast with natural light are the path to achieve a practical and cozy kitchen. Light tones, such as white, beige, or light blue, are perfect for enhancing the light. However, at times, even if white may seem colder, this feeling can be corrected by including wooden chairs or shelves.
With the microcement and the necessary doses of imagination, there are no excuses for not having a designer kitchen.
