A floor plan would be helpful.

Would need to see a floor plan showing dimensions, window / door openings.

This reminds me of my kitchen in Hyderbad, India. As others said, go with open shelves. Both wood (contrast) and stainless (brightness) would work well for upper shelves. I would also do shelves in the lower cabinets. If you want to minimize cleaning, add heavy, easily washable curtains to the lower shelves. You can add some battery operated lighting so you can see into those darker spaces. As for the walls, I would use a white subway tile and go as high on the wall as you can afford. The glaze will reflect more light and the surface will be relatively able to keep clean. Paint the other walls in a high-quality white paint (use a ceramic one if you can find it, as they are a lot more durable). Keep the appliances to a minimum. Kitchen gadgets might be handy, but lost of them will make the space seem small. For the ones you do buy, go with white or stainless steel. Finally, hang pots, pans and utensils on the walls to free shelf space and get them off the counter. Make sure what you use frequently is within easy reach, while "occasional" tools can be higher up, where you might need a stool to reach them.

Hello there, Your Kitchen feels cramped because of these: 1. Dark laminate in small spaces. 2. No crockery organizer and utensils rack. 3. Too much modular divisions. 4. Loft cabinets missing open racks and hangers. 5. Separate space and switch board for small appliances. Suggested Modifications : 1. Upgrade laminate to matte neutral/grey tones 2. Install open racks for spatula, ladles and spices. 3. Try to install large modular cabinets in the loft. 4. Separate a corner space and install a switch board (2x3 suggested) with 3x 16A 3 pin and 2x 2 pin 6A plugs. Regards , Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar
