About this post

Post Description:

Small kitchens may present a design challenge, but they can also be a step-saving model of efficiency.

   • Creativity is required to find storage in a small kitchen.

   • Manufacturers are making smaller-scaled appliances that work well in small kitchens.

   • You don’t have to give things up in a small kitchen if you try a different approach. If you have room for only a small bowl sink, try using one that is deeper than average.

   • Pantry storage with units that go floor to ceiling provides maximum storage.

   • If your kitchen is at least 3.8 metres wide by 4metres, it can accommodate freestanding storage in the centre (usually an island) that is convenient from any spot in the kitchen.

   • Use space-saving design ideas for an eating area in a small kitchen: a banquette with storage underneath; a drop table; a small round table and two chairs tucked in a corner.

   • The galley kitchen, which lines up cabinets and appliances on either side of a corridor, is one of the most popular designs for small spaces. Everything is within easy reach for the cook.
