Even a small kitchen can be beautiful, and with a bit of creativity, you can incorporate all the necessary features. If you don’t have endless space at your disposal either, it’s worth taking a few ideas from others before you start planning. Here are 3 kitchens that are well worth taking inspiration from.
Sometimes there’s even room for a dining area
We can agree that this is the U-shaped kitchen It isn’t very large, but it makes excellent use of the available space. The key to this layout is that we can make use of three adjacent walls, whilst the fourth side serves as the entrance. The white furniture reflects light beautifully, making the space appear larger. A tile-effect splashback protects the wall, which is not only very attractive but also easy to clean. The wood-effect material of the kitchen worktop lends a natural feel to the atmosphere, whilst a rug has been placed on the grey tiled floor to create a cosier ambience. Everything you could possibly need is here: an oven, hob, a built-in fridge, and, what’s more, a dining area has even been created in the form of a fold-down worktop. If you look closely, the space above the top row of cupboards has also been utilised to avoid a cluttered look, cupboards with glass doors They have used it. It’s a truly stylish kitchen, where anyone would enjoy cooking.
Always leave enough room for manoeuvre
This kitchen L-shaped layout, so it was fitted along two adjacent walls. There’s no dining area here because the space is too small; if they’d crammed in a counter, you wouldn’t even be able to move. When planning, always ensure there is sufficient space for movement, and that the doors of all cupboards and kitchen appliances – such as the oven and fridge – can be opened comfortably. It’s worth leaving at least 100–120 cm of space for this purpose, so that you can move about comfortably between the kitchen worktop and the opposite wall. The choice of furniture colours is light here too, and a relatively large window helps natural light flood into the kitchen. There are cupboards all along the walls here as well; the feeling of cramped space is counteracted by the closed and versions with glass doors They solved the problem by combining the two.
If you want more workspaces
In this In a U-shaped kitchen The kitchen worktop fits along every wall. This means that, thanks to the large work surface, several of us can take part in the cooking. The kitchen designers also took care to avoid a „storage-room feel”; so, upon entering the kitchen, they omitted the row of wall units on the opposite wall and used open shelving instead. This has created a more airy overall effect without having to sacrifice storage space.
Designing a small kitchen is no easy task, and what’s more, it’s difficult to furnish a space of this size with off-the-shelf units, so it’s a good idea to opt for bespoke kitchen units and leave it to a professional. There are many things to bear in mind in such cases that are almost impossible to work through on your own.
