Small Kitchen Design Ideas to Maximise Small Kitchen Spaces

Maximising kitchen space doesn’t mean sacrificing good aesthetic and functionality. Prior to jumping into grandiose kitchen renovations here are some simple ways on how to make the most of your compact kitchen.

 

Install a pullout pantry

The limited floor space makes it a challenge to have a walk in pantry so why not opt for a pullout one that’s sleek and stylish? Apart from saving space, having custom design shelves that slide out make it easier to neatly stash your non-perishables. If you already have a cupboard, check if there’s still free space inside where you can put expandable shelves or even a spice rack.

 

Never underestimate hooks and tension rods

The wonders of these simple tools are commonly overlooked. Even that teeny-tiny space can hold your tea towels or mitts with the help of a little hook.

 

Take advantage of unused spaces

Even those seemingly hard to reach areas can do wonders for a small kitchen. The space above your cabinets, for example, is a promising storage gem. Use the area to store items that you don’t regularly use such as party cutleries and cake stands. Some of your baking tools like sheets and cupcake tins can go inside the oven. If your existing space can’t give you the luxury of a kitchen island, don’t fret because you can still hang a gorgeous fold-down table on an unused wall.

 

Always choose compact appliances

Gone are the days when kitchen appliances have to be massive. With more people living in compact spaces, providers are similarly stepping up to the game. You can now see refrigerators, dishwashers, and range hoods that are slim yet stunning. When buying kitchen paraphernalia, choose items that serve a various array of functions. Instead of having a separate blender, juicer, and smoothie maker, choose one powerful appliance that can do all three purposes.

 

Some homeowners choose to do their kitchen renovations by themselves and end up shelling more money (e.g. installing a shelf in the wrong place and having it removed after).
