A small kitchen conceals great possibilities. To visually increase it, you do not have to look for an additional dimension — you just need to choose the right furniture and arrange it correctly. We study the subtleties of space management together with the experts of the Kitchen furniture Workshop “Eat at Home!” – the author’s project of Yulia Healthy Food Near Me.
Everything is going according to plan
A good layout for any room is like a suit made exactly to the figure. A win-win option for a small kitchen is an L-shaped layout that makes the most of one of the corners. This means that you will need a suitable set with a corner cabinet. In the kitchen furniture Workshop “Eat at home!” any of the 13 models can be angular. For example, the kitchen “Bergamo Arte”.. Elegant vertically oriented hanging cabinets are compactly placed in the corner, and at the same time allow you to visually “stretch” the space. A harmonious design with an imitation of hand-painted wood will fill the kitchen with a unique warm charm of Provence.
Another good option is to place the kitchen without top cabinets right next to the window. This way you will not only save a substantial part of the space, but also provide natural light in the work area. For the execution of such a combination, the Milan kitchen in a light color scheme is well suited. A well-chosen color contrast with soft transitions will visually make the kitchen wider. And a special charm will be given to her by the laconic elegant design of the headset, imbued with the spirit of the Italian fashion capital.
The linear layout allows you to rationally manage the space in a small kitchen. It provides for the location of the headset along one of the walls. You can implement this idea with the help of kitchens from the collection of the Workshop ” Eat at home!”. For example, if the Berlin model has a compact countertop, a convenient sink and a cooking surface built in one clear line, you will not only save precious centimeters, but also free yourself from the need to run from the stove to the work area during cooking. And one more little trick. The clear geometric shapes of the headset create a sense of the depth of the space, and the glossy shine of the facades fills it with light.
Technical details
Built-in appliances — an invention created specifically for a miniature kitchen. First of all, designers recommend installing a cooking surface in the work area instead of a conventional kitchen stove. The oven can be placed directly under it. Even the noble Italian classics of the Lorenz model organically get along with modern technical elements. The facades of the suite — closed, with original stained glass windows and grilles — expand the space. And they once again emphasize the unique style and elegance of the design solution.
There is another, slightly non-standard option-to place the built-in oven separately from the hob. Most often, it is hidden behind a panel in one of the lower cabinets. However, the oven may well become a harmonious facade of the interior. In the kitchen workshop “Eat at home!” there is a large selection of built-in appliances-you can always choose a model of a suitable design.
When choosing a kitchen set, give preference to cabinets with ergonomic doors — roller, folding or sliding. Swing doors are also allowed, but in some one part of the working area, for example, under the sink. The practicality of this idea can be fully appreciated in the kitchen “Berlin”.
A small-sized kitchen can easily do without such a low-functional detail as a window sill. In its place, you can compactly place the countertop and part of the work area. If you can also install a cooking surface near the window, you will have to use the hood less often. Try to bring this idea to life together with the kitchen “Milan”.
Everything has its place
Small, at first glance, household appliances and kitchen utensils gradually “eat” centimeters of space, increasing the feeling of tightness and clutter. Therefore, it is best to put a microwave, toaster or electric kettle in different corners of the work area. Try to clean the middle part of it as much as possible from household appliances that you do not use every day.
For storing dishes, it is best to arrange multi-tiered trays inside the cabinets — they are quite roomy and easy to use. For corner cabinets, “carousel” storage systems with a hinged mount are more suitable. Here you can comfortably arrange pots, pans, saucepans and other large dishes.
If there is not enough space in the cabinets, you can resort to using small open shelves. For example, narrow shelves for spices can be fixed directly above the work area. Choose containers with an original design or transparent jars with bright lids for seasonings — this will immediately add liveliness to the design. Open shelves in two or three tiers will look advantageous on the edges of the hanging cabinets. This place can be reserved for cereals and pasta in spectacular tin boxes, as well as your favorite recipe books.
Practicality and elegance combine horizontal and vertical railings. They are suspended storage systems in the form of a metal tube with hooks. They look good with ladles, wooden spatulas, colanders, beaters and other small kitchen utensils that should always be at hand. It is most reasonable to allocate a place for railing above the stove or working area. Whatever solution you choose, in the kitchens of the kitchen furniture Workshop “Eat at Home!” they will find a worthy application.
