In a small kitchen, it is very important to use the available space as efficiently as possible.
The expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, decided to help us with this difficult task and told us about techniques that will make the room visually larger and find a place for everything necessary (and not so necessary).
Take advantage of open plan living
The absence of a wall between the kitchen and the living room allows for more furniture and a full dining area. In addition, such an open space seems lighter and more spacious, creating a feeling of freedom from cramped walls.
Install a shelf with a "microlift"
It is important to pay attention to the interior filling of the cabinets, making them as capacious as possible and equipping them with shelves that can be easily pulled out and raised to the level of the countertop. This will increase the work surface and facilitate the installation of heavy objects, such as a planetary mixer.
Replace the hinged doors
Proper organization of opening systems is also important. Replace hinged doors with those that lift up. Alternatively, use lift-and-fold doors.
Make use of the space under the ceiling
Cabinets that reach to the ceiling will give you an extra 20-30 cm, which you can use to store rarely used items. Are you afraid that they will look heavy? Consider a display case of cabinets with glass doors at the very top – they look light and airy.
If it's technology, then it should be built-in.
To optimize the kitchen space and improve its ergonomics, you can also use built-in appliances. This allows you to conveniently place the hob and oven, hide the dishwasher and refrigerator, and use a two-burner stove, which not only saves space in the kitchen, but also preserves the aesthetic appearance of the interior.
