Whether you're an avid cook or thrive on "takeout meals," a small kitchen will bring a number of unique design challenges to your home. As these fabulous examples show, all challenges can be overcome and your kitchen can become a stunning showpiece in your home.
The key to a successful design is solving the problem of how much you can fit into the space and where the most practical placement of units and appliances is. It's a bit like a three-dimensional puzzle. The focus: storage, equipment and lighting. All other design solutions are directed by this. Once you see the potential in your small kitchen, find a way to make it stylish and practical. It is more important for the kitchen to be a space that brings joy to many people. Rest assured whether your budget is big or small, there are many to choose from.
Bright colors are an absolute must
As with all small spaces, choosing light colors and maximizing light in your small kitchen will instantly create the illusion of space. Also avoid surfaces, walls and floors with abrupt changes in color or tone. Maintain visual unity between different levels, this will form a feeling of space. Concealed lighting is a fantastic way to make your kitchen look larger. Add your lighting under cabinets, on countertops or on the floor. This allows you to use different layers of lighting to create a more spacious impression.
Clever storage system with built-in devices
Maximize the available storage space in your small kitchen with shelves and cabinets up to ceiling height. This not only looks attractive allowing you to display some of your beautiful cookware, but it will also keep the mess away from your valuable work space and add a pleasant atmosphere to your room. A good way to store pans etc. is to simply display them with hangers attached to the wall. Choose clever storage systems, such as ingenious pull-out systems for things like spice racks or garbage cans, even ironing boards. Even where space is often an issue, it is possible to purchase smaller space-saving appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, etc. So check out what kind of built-in appliances are currently available on the market.
If you like to eat somewhere in your kitchen, you could incorporate folding table and chairs. It would be a very cozy corner to have breakfast or drink coffee with a friend or partner. So even if your kitchen is tiny, you can still make it a charming environment and full of inviting atmosphere.
