DESIGN IDEAS FOR SMALL SPACE KITCHEN
2

• KITCHEN IS THE HEART OF YOUR HOME. WORKING IN THE
  SMALL KITCHEN IS A PLACE OF STRESS.
• NOT ALL HOMES COME WITH EXPANSIVE OPEN-PLAN
  SPACES. IF YOURS IS ON THE SMALL SIDE, THERE ARE
  STILL PLENTY OF KITCHEN IDEAS TO PLAY WITH.
• USE PARTITIONS TO SEPARATE TASKS
• IN A SMALL KITCHEN, IT FEELS LIKE ITS IMPOSSIBLE
  TO PROPERLY USE THE SPACE. INTEGRATING A
  PARTITION MEANS YOU CAN SEPARATE FUNCTIONS MORE
  AND GIVE DESIGNATED PREP AREAS WITHIN THE ROOM.
• OPT FOR A GLASS HALF PARTITION TO KEEP THE ROOM
  FEELING OPEN AND ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH.
  TREAT ONE SECTION AS SIMILAR TO A PREP KITCHEN,
  AND KEEP YOUR APPLIANCES AND LARGER UTENSILS ARE
  HIDDEN FROM CASUAL VIEWING
• INCORPORATE SHINY AND REFLECTIVE MATERIALS.
• TO CREATE AN ILLUSION OF SPACE IT WORKS BETTER
  THAN GLASS AND MIRRORS. LARGE GLASS DOORS MAKE
  THE KITCHEN SEEM LIKE IT DOESNT FINISH STRAIGHT
  THERE.
• INCORPORATE GLASS IN YOUR WOODEN CABINETRY OR GO
  FOR METALLIC FINISHES LIKE THOSE SEEN IN MODERN
  KITCHEN CABINETS. YOU COULD ALSO INSTALL A
  BACKSPLASH USING REFLECTIVE TILES OR GLASS.

• KEEP SOME STORAGE OPEN
• STORAGE IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
  CONSIDERATIONS IN THE KITCHEN.
• THE SIMPLICITY OF A ONE-WALL LAYOUT IS THAT YOU
  CAN MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON
  FUNCTIONALITY.
• INCLUDE SOME OPEN STORAGE AND SHELVING IN YOUR
  KITCHEN, USING THIS ON THE TOP HALF OF THE WALL
  WILL HELP THE ROOM APPEAR TALLER.
• PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR FLOORING
• WE OFTEN FIND A LARGER TILE CAN WORK WELL AT
  ACHIEVING THIS, A SMALLER TILE RESULTS IN LOTS OF
  GROUT JOINTS THAT CAN ENCLOSE THE SPACE AND
  DETRACT THE EYE FROM THE TILE
• WOOD EFFECT PORCELAIN IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY
  POPULAR IN TIGHTER SPACES DUE TO THEIR LONG AND
  NARROW FORMAT
• IF YOU CHOOSE A COMPLEMENTARY GROUT COLOR IT
  MAKES THE GROUT LESS NOTICEABLE WHICH AGAIN HELPS
  TO OPEN THE SPACE OUT

• MAKE MORE SPACE WITH COLLAPSIBLE FURNITURE
• CHOOSE COLLAPSIBLE FURNITURE TO ALLOW THE SPACE
  FREEDOM IN THE PURPOSE.
• COLLAPSIBLE FURNITURE ISNT IN ANY WAY SPACE IS
  COMPROMISED.
• ITS A HIGHLY EFFICIENT WAY TO MAKE THE SPACE
  WORK TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL.
• GET CREATIVE WITH CORNERS
• SMALL KITCHEN SPACE HAS TO CATER FOR MOST OF THE
  BASIC FOOD PREP AND SERVING, WHICH REQUIRES A LOT
  OF STUFF, THIS MEANS THAT IT IS THE KEY TO
  USING EVERY LAST BIT OF AVAILABLE SPACE BY BEING
  CLEVER WITH THE DESIGN SOLUTIONS.
• MAKING THE MOST OF MAGIC CORNERS AND OTHER CLEVER
  MECHANISMS WILL ALSO HELP USE EVERY MILLIMETER OF
  SPACE, SUCH AS THIS UNDER CUPBOARD GLASS RACK.
• HANGING GLASSES BELOW THE CUPBOARDS IS A CLEVER
  KITCHEN STORAGE IDEA. . IT NOT ONLY USES UP
  OTHERWISE REDUNDANT SPACE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,
  IT FREES UP STORAGE SPACE INSIDE THE CABINETS.

• LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HERES A SIMPLE SMALL KITCHEN
  IDEA THAT YOU CAN WORK ON RIGHT AWAY
• DECORATE YOUR SPACE WITH HOUSEPLANTS. EVEN IN THE
  DULLEST OF KITCHENS, LITTLE DOSES OF GREEN ADD
  FRESHNESS AND LIFE INSTANTLY.
• IN ANYWAYS OUR SMALL KITCHEN SPACE IDEAS HAVE
  WORKED OUT FOR YOU? WERE EAGER TO KNOW!
