Every centimeter counts when designing a small kitchen, as layouts need to be simple but smart. Small kitchens can have minimal clutter and maximum style with some clever considerations. Be careful about your kitchen design and make the most of the space you have with these small kitchen design tips.
Layout
Avoid designing your kitchen with closed off walls and tall cabinets. Small layouts such as u-shaped and galley kitchens can be opened up to the rest of the home with a breakfast bar on one side, merging the kitchen into the dining and entertaining area. Keeping your layout simple and uncomplicated, using symmetry, is crucial in designing a successful small kitchen.
Storage
Space saving solutions are vital in small kitchens. Increase your storage capacity by adding more drawers instead of cabinetry. Drawers with clever compartments, kick board drawers and drawer bin systems are easier to access with more efficient organisation than cupboards and cabinets. Incorporating more drawers makes your kitchen items more visible, eliminates stacked up items and allows you to reach the back of your storage units.
Shelving
Open storage creates a feeling of spaciousness in cabinetry-dense spaces. Reduce visual weight by using open shelving, a bulk-free and sleek look, or replace solid cabinet doors with glass or mirrored door fronts. Save space on your kitchen bench tops by hanging cooking utensils on the walls.
Designs
Custom designs can help keep your kitchen practical while maintaining a minimalist design which gives the illusion of a larger kitchen. Glass cabinet doors, mirrored splashbacks, glossy white surfaces and clean lines are all design elements that can help keep your kitchen from feeling boxed in.
With these design ideas you can utilise all of your available space and turn a small area into a functional, ergonomic and stylish small kitchen. If you have any other small kitchen design tips, please let us know below.
