Not everyone manages to rationally distribute the space in the kitchen, which undoubtedly causes serious difficulties when using this room.
A real salvation in such a situation will be little tricks, which were shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino.
Double table
If you have an open-plan apartment, consider getting a double table. This will give you a large work surface on the kitchen side that can be used as a dining table, and a bar counter for guests on the living room side.
Khrushchev refrigerator
First, a few words about what the notorious Khrushchev refrigerator is. It is a built-in cabinet under the windowsill, which is needed to store food in it in the winter. If your apartment was built in the 1950-70s, it is probably in your kitchen.
Instead of filling in the niche, look for a rational use for it, for example, by removing the door and turning the refrigerator into a built-in rack with shelves.
Avoiding Upper Cabinets
This idea is suitable for those who suffer from cramped kitchens. If you are worried that in the absence of a kitchen unit with upper cabinets you will have nowhere to put things, get a laconic kitchen bookcase - it will replace the buffet and take up much less space.
Stone apron
Stone aprons are always associated with sophistication and style. To ensure that the porous structure of this material does not interfere with cleaning, cover the stone with varnish - after that, you will not have to worry about the apron getting dirty.
Functional window sill
If your kitchen is modest in size, you simply cannot leave the window sill useless. Turn it into part of the work surface, and place cabinets with drawers underneath – a functional area for cooking and storage is ready.
