A small kitchen can be quite inviting and functional. All you have to do is arrange it with care and make good use of all the available surfaces. To inspire you, here are five layout ideas for your kitchenette.
A linear kitchen is a kitchen arranged in length, it is ideal for a kitchenette open to the living room or in a small, closed room. The kitchen cabinets are located along the wall and you can use the entire surface of the wall. Install floor-to-ceiling cupboards, giving preference to columns. Also mix between cupboards and shelves to give aesthetics.
In a kitchenette, opt for small appliances. Adapt your appliances to the available spaces, especially favor built-in appliances. For example, install a small fridge under the hobs. Use a small microwave and grill oven that you also built in so you don't waste counter space. Choose a single-bowl sink to leave room for the worktop. Kitchen equipment professionals offer you so many possibilities to properly equip your small space, such as a hood that attaches under the cupboard.
With a small kitchen that opens onto the living room, set up a bar table. In addition to serving as a dining table, it will serve as a delimitation between the two spaces. Functional and decorative at the same time, the bar table will save you space. It can also be used as an additional work surface.
Store your furnitureModular furniture adapts well to small kitchen spaces. In no time you can fold them up and put them away. Among the most practical, you have the shelf, which after serving as a dining table, folds against the wall and only occupies about twenty centimeters in the kitchen. Also opt for foldable stools, which, like the table, once folded can be stored. You just need to attach hooks to the wall and then hang them on it.
Use the corners to use them as storage, you can install credenza bars as above a worktop. Your bars can be superimposed in height, you will hang your utensils on them, which is very practical, because they will be within easy reach. The magnetic splashback is also a trick to exploit this space which often remains unoccupied. In your cupboards, install hanging storage on the doors to store your pan lids for example. To save even more space in your drawers, do not hesitate to use the organizers to classify your belongings. Also favor storage that fits everywhere, such as small boxes on wheels or even small storage on floors on wheels. Finally, opt for horizontal bottle storage that does not take up too much space.
