We all want to have a huge family kitchen, butusually have to deal with something smaller. Who said that regardless of the size of the room, the requirements for placing furniture in it remain the same? The kitchen should be functional, but at the same time it is important for us that there is a place where you can gather as a family during the meal. We're glad to tell you the good news: with the right layout and thoughtful design, all this can be realized even in a small space. It is this fact that the following inspirational examples demonstrate.
Use every nook and cranny.
This advice seems obvious, but in crampedconditions it is of paramount importance. It is necessary to use all available options. What could mean the commissioning of service units at home. Shelves and cabinets should fit the space, and not be bought in finished form. Think about the possibility of using even the most inconvenient nooks in the room. Since the number of such places is limited, and the size of the kitchen is small, individual design will be quite economical.
Add rock and roll style elements
In a small room wall cabinets pick uptoo much space. Preference should be given to light systems, such as hangers, rails, S-shaped hooks and thin shelves. They can hold pots, cups, cutlery, dishes and even kitchen accessories. If you partially cover the wall with black paint, this will allow it to be used as a writing board. Here you can leave messages and make shopping lists.
Add streamlined shapes to the space.
Massive and incompatible itemsfurnishings clutter the room and create a sense of confusion. For the kitchen area, choose the minimum design with smooth transitions, as shown in the picture. On it we see a tabletop that wraps around all the basic units of furniture and, expanding, goes into the bar counter. This kitchen is filled with natural light, so the color of the furniture blocks “invigorates” the space.
Find a separate place for laundry equipment.
Quite often washing and drying machinesset in the kitchen. However, if the area is limited, a good solution would be to find an alternative place for them. For example, you can take a sub-space or think about placing washing machines in the garage, if you have one.
Organize your storage system
There are many compact elementswhich can be built into the headset. Their main purpose is to free up space in the room. If you are starting to build a kitchen from scratch, consider storage systems such as thin racks, drawers at the bottom of kitchen cabinets and built-in chopping boards that will slide out over the sink if necessary.
Try to use stand-alone items in the interior.
Cabinet furniture also has its advantages. If the room is cramped, it is important to organize good lighting, then each element of the decor looks more harmonious. The freestanding work area with a stove, sink and cabinets, as pictured, has a beautiful appearance and fits elegantly into the space.
Raise the ceiling
Room size may increase significantly.if it makes some architectural changes. In the one-story room, raising the ceiling, a view of the sloping roof will open. This will give the kitchen a feeling of light and airiness. Thanks to this solution, it will be possible to install roof windows that give more light than vertical windows. In addition, the height of the wall on which you can install additional drawers or shelves will increase, ensuring maximum organization of the kitchen space.
Install closets to the ceiling
Floor space may be limited, butthe vertical space, even in a small kitchen, is rather large. Modern kitchen sets allow you to use it by creating shelves that stretch almost to the ceiling. A small gap between high cabinets and the ceiling adds lightness to the headset, making the room not seem too tight. Store items rarely used on the top shelves. Install smooth handles on the doors of the drawers, so the blocks look more streamlined, seamless and do not dominate the room.
Prefer embedded technology
You may wish for a huge freestanding stovewith five burners, but a small kitchen is not the place to install it. The ideal solution would be embedded appliances. It will free up the worktop space and give the kitchen a single look. And why not install a boiling water faucet to dispense with a kettle?
Organize portable mini sites
In addition to the built-in modules, there is a massother interesting storage systems. For example, a small mobile unit with shelves similar to that in the photo can be incredibly useful. It will occupy a small area and at the same time create additional storage space. A stand-alone piece of furniture will also add to the atmosphere. Perhaps you would like to have something similar, but the limited kitchen area does not allow this. In this case, the bookcase can be installed in a territory close to the room.
