1. Smart planning of your small kitchen
Before starting any interior design project, it is important to carefully plan the arrangement of the elements. Measure the available space and make note of electrical outlets, windows and doors. Consider the layout of water points and hookups for appliances. This information will help you decide where to place sinks, stoves, refrigerators, and other key items .
2. Take advantage of the height of your kitchen
When floor space is at a premium, you can take advantage of the height of the walls to create more storage space. Install cabinets or shelves above countertops to store dishes, pans, and cooking utensils. Take advantage of the vertical space up to the ceiling to maximize the use of space. The shelves are very valid allies in this case (an example? Lauro and Levante ). The extra touch: the wall bottle holders .
3. Use multifunctional furniture for a small kitchen
A smart way to save space in a small kitchen is to use multifunctional furniture . For example, you could opt for a dining table that can be folded away or extended when needed, choose stools that can be stored under the kitchen counter, not too bulky (like Toto or Op ). This will allow you to save space when they are not in use!
4. Light and colors
Proper lighting can work wonders in a small kitchen. Make the most of natural light by opening curtains or blinds during the day. Also insert sources of artificial lighting, such as spotlights or LED strips under cabinets, to illuminate dark corners. In terms of colors, opt for light and bright shades to create the illusion of a larger space. Light colors reflect light and give a feeling of openness.
5. Organize and declutter your kitchen
A small kitchen requires impeccable organization to maximize the use of space. Minimize objects on the worktop surface and use organizers or containers (such as our Everyday box or Domino ) to keep everything in order. Get rid of tools and appliances you don't use often and optimize space with smart storage solutions, such as shelves or multipurpose trolleys ( Pagoda is perfect in the kitchen but also Frida to be modular as you like).
