Even in a small kitchen you can create an elegant and functional space. With a little creativity and proper furniture, you can turn the kitchen into a welcoming place, perfect for experimenting with various recipes or socializing with your loved ones. If you need inspiration in your kitchen design, here are some useful tips on how to choose the right furniture, accessories and decor.
A modern kitchen
A modern furnishing style is ideal for small kitchens. You can use light colors, such as white, to give a feeling of more space, but also subtle shades of gray or black for an extra touch of elegance and sophistication. We recommend furniture with glossy finishes for a modern kitchen, as it emphasizes the idea of cleanliness and shine.
Three-dimensional decorative elements can be used that stand out and create an interesting visual effect.
Rustic kitchens
To arrange a small kitchen in a rustic style, it is advisable to choose warm colors, which evoke nature and create a comfortable atmosphere. You can add shades of beige, brown, red and orange to contribute to the idea of welcoming space, but not in excess, so as not to visually crowd the room.
Solid wood furniture is best suited for the rustic style because it gives an authentic look to your kitchen. Glass elements such as glass or kitchen furniture with glass between the bodies bring more brightness and contribute to the feeling of opening the space. Of course, you can decorate the kitchen with various plants for an extra touch of naturalness.
The minimalist style
The minimalist style may be best suited for arranging a very small kitchen. Minimalism involves the use of a small number of furniture items, but which provide enough storage spaces. Also, representative decoration elements and on light shades contribute to the creation of an airy and open atmosphere.
Although at first glance it may seem that this space is too simple or that it does not provide adequate conditions for cooking, the minimalist style manages to combine aesthetics and functionality. Furniture and appliances are carefully chosen to facilitate everyday activities.
Setting up a narrow kitchen
Arranging a small and narrow kitchen, such as the one in a studio apartment, can be difficult, but there are ingenious solutions that can transform this space. In such a kitchen, you have to limit yourself to a few pieces of furniture, but make sure that they are well compartmentalized to maximize functionality.
Since the space can be too limited to integrate an ordinary table, you can opt for a folding table, which can be fixed to the wall. The worktop can also be used as a serving surface, but also as a place to prepare food.
Kitchen design ‘on the corner’
Small kitchens, located on the corner, can become very functional if they are arranged correctly. We recommend that you adopt a minimalist style and make the most of every corner for storage. Choose the pieces of furniture carefully, so as not to overlap or crowd them, because a space that is too visually loaded may seem even smaller.
Open Space Kitchen Design
The ideal option to get more space in the kitchen is to tear down one of the walls and create an open space with the living room. However, you must also consider the impact of odors generated during cooking. To prevent them from spreading in the living room, try to place the cooking area as close to the window as possible.
U-shaped kitchens
A small U-shaped kitchen is the perfect option for furnishing. This type of space is very flexible and allows you to experiment with furniture, household appliances and accessories to create an organized, functional and aesthetically pleasing environment. In a kitchen of this type, there are no severe restrictions in terms of furniture and design, so you can adapt the arrangement of the kitchen according to your preferences.
