Design for Small Kitchen

There are some types of houses in which the kitchen has a relatively small size. We wonder that the parameters of rooms − especially, the kitchen or the toilet facilities, were not "spinning out of thin air" but rather were calculated on the basis of human needs. That is, in order to prepare something in the kitchen, it is enough a gas-stove and a table, where you can and cook and eats. For what purpose else would you need a space in the kitchen?!

That is why the kitchen area in such houses is not more than 21.5-64.6 square ft., which is clearly not enough. But what can we do if the variants to change the situation, and with it the kitchen, no − you have to put up with what we have. However, even for such small kitchens there are many mounting variants of designs that will make the tiny kitchen is no worse than modern and spacious ones. Therefore, in this article we look at the modern compact kitchen design and the variants for it.

There are several methods of design renovations just for such a small kitchen. In particular, we will talk about:

replanning of the premises;
using of the design techniques and special approaches to the interior;
redefining the destination of the kitchen workspace.

About Rearrangement Small Kitchen

First we say briefly about the redevelopment of a premise. In some cases the building structure allows you to make real alterations to the kitchen, thus increasing it not only visually but also physically. For this purpose the kitchen is combining with a connecting room (for example, a bedroom), resulting in that the kitchen is left as the place of cooking, and the bedroom becomes a room for a repast − as a variant, it needs to set there a big table, etc. But this is possible only in cases where the building structure allows doing that.

Recall that relatively recently of housebuilding there were various projects of such houses. Therefore, in some layouts of the apartment anyone could make some changes, while in the others ones − it was impossible since that the mutual wall between the kitchen and the other room is a load-bearing wall that endangered the whole construction of the building.

Replanning Kitchen Design Techniques

At last, we came to the heart of the problem − the modern design small kitchen. Today, since that this kind of kitchen and apartments are in wide use, many variants of kitchen design has been developed, taking into account the functionality and with the compliance with the feeling of comfort. The kitchen furniture manufacturers took into account the fact of the small kitchen's existence too, so today they are producing furniture, suitable for such compact space.

Therefore, if you want to completely change the kitchen design and make it "unrecognizable", in the first place you have to get rid of all that there are − leaving only the bare walls. This is only the first step that should be taken.

The second action is an analysis of used space and the furnishings. Think about where it is best to install the kitchen a gas stove or electric cooker, where it is more convenient to put the kitchen table. Remember also how many kitchen cabinets you are used to the full. That is, calculate how many cabinets you really need in your kitchen. Also, it is a very convenient way − combining of the kitchen appliances and tools. That is, today there are the kitchen walls, in which are already mounted and gas stoves and a sink with tap, and other equipment, up to the refrigerator.

With the finished project or idea relatively design of a small kitchen, you can safely go to the furniture store and search for suitable variants. Moreover, there are many small (or vice versa - large) furniture firms that are willing to make the kitchen furniture made to order. In short, this method of changing a small kitchen design is the most effective and significant because with its help you can change your kitchen beyond recognition.

And the third way, with which it is possible to make serious changes in the kitchen, is a functional reconsideration. That is one of the best examples in this regard, for example that the majority of people unconditionally believe that the refrigerator should always be in the kitchen because it is stored with products, and should always be at hand. But, as a variant − move the refrigerator in the hallway and see how much space is available immediately. Or, alternatively, you can use the combination of kitchen's furniture items. For example, to make a drop table − when folded it will be attached to the wall, so it can be used as a board for recipes and memos or as a hanger for towels, aprons and so on. In the unfolded form it is possible to prepare meals or eat on it.
