Small kitchen
Small kitchens are most often found in apartments in blocks of flats. They pose a challenge due to their significantly limited space and imposed restrictions, e.g., in the form of windows or existing installations. There is no single correct answer to the question “how to arrange a small kitchen.” It is important to perfectly match the kitchen furniture to its shape, and to focus primarily on the comfort and functionality of the room.
Small kitchen – arrangements
The design of a small kitchen should be perfectly adapted to the specific room. In addition to a stylish interior, it is also worth considering the comfort and timelessness of the room. In a small kitchen, clever solutions that maximize the functionality of the space will work well.
Furniture for a small kitchen
Kitchen furniture is the most important element of a small kitchen. The simplest designs and light colors work best. They will visually enlarge the room and make the kitchen seem extremely spacious. A small kitchen will look even better when it features glass and materials that reflect light. Kitchen cabinets can be arranged in a U or L shape. In much smaller rooms or in living rooms with a small kitchenette, it is best to arrange the kitchen furniture on one side.
In addition to the minimalist look of kitchen furniture for a small kitchen, its practicality is also very important. Innovative solutions that allow for maximum use of space not only outside but also inside cabinets and shelves will make it easy to fit all the necessary accessories and equipment in them. It is therefore worth opting for an individual design for a small kitchen, i.e., custom-made furniture. Careful preparation will ensure that even the smallest corner is used properly. Upward-opening furniture, corner cabinets, or cargo-type cabinets are therefore ideal.
Small kitchen – inspiration
A solution for a small kitchen can be tall built-in furniture, which will provide space for most appliances and accessories. This solution is recommended for kitchens with one wall or those arranged in an L-shape.
Another solution is to arrange the furniture in a horseshoe shape on three walls. In this case, however, you need to ensure that there is enough space between the two parallel rows of cabinets to allow for comfortable and convenient movement around the space. When deciding on this solution in a narrow room, it is worth giving up the upper cabinets and replacing them with open shelves on which you can place small accessories. Double-row cabinets can overwhelm the room.
The color scheme of the room and its lighting are also very important elements in the design of a small kitchen. Ideally, a small kitchen should be bright and shiny. This can be achieved with lacquered kitchen cabinet fronts and plenty of light, both natural and artificial. The rays reflecting off the shiny surfaces will make the kitchen appear larger.
Accessories for a small kitchen
It is best to avoid having too many accessories in a small kitchen space. In a small kitchen, you should avoid clutter and chaos in terms of both furniture selection and decoration. It is a great idea to forego additional decorations and focus on the appliances that are essential in the kitchen. There are many household appliances available on the market whose shape and design can be the only decoration in the kitchen.
Lighting is also a decoration for a small kitchen. It is best to completely abandon curtains and drapes on the windows and allow the room to be illuminated with as much daylight as possible. Artificial light, on the other hand, should be strong and pleasant. A minimalist ceiling lamp is a good solution.
