Small kitchens are a challenge for many. Not only is it harder to prepare meals in a cramped space, but it also takes more organizational skills to tidy up and store all the important little things
But there are some tricks that will make this task easier for you:
– Get furniture with sliding doors
Kitchen cabinets with sliding doors save valuable space in your home and allow you to find your way around more easily.
– Invest in a kitchen trolley with wheels
Kitchen trolleys with wheels are a flexible storage space that you can move as needed and use even in other rooms in the home or on the terrace.
– Place the shelves to the top
Installing shelves on the walls is a great way to store things. But don’t put just one or two shelves. On the contrary, place them all the way to the top. Put things on top that you don’t use every day, and put things at your fingertips that you can’t do without.
– Make custom sliding shelves
If you want to make the most of the space in a small kitchen, consider buying custom furniture. There is often some free space between kitchen elements that do not fit classic pieces from furniture stores. A movable pantry shelf can be installed in these narrow spaces.
– Use all the space in the kitchen elements
Buy drawer organizers and store more stuff in kitchen items. For example, the inner sides of cabinets can serve as a stand for lids or similar things.
– Make a dining bar
In small kitchens, there is no space for a table and chairs for dining. Instead, install a bar where you can eat meals with your feet. For this purpose, you will also use a board that you put next to the window space or in a similar place.
– Hang things over your head
If space allows, you can hang pans and pots on hooks above your head or under the ceiling. You will also save a lot of space if you place the dish rack above the sink.
Tricks to visually enlarge the kitchen
– Choose kitchen elements and associated equipment in lighter colors that visually enhance the space.
– The space will look bigger if you hang a larger mirror on one wall in which the rest of the kitchen will be reflected.
– The space will look less cramped and untidy if you keep as few things as possible on the kitchen counter, ie in visible places.
