7 mistakes that should be avoided when designing a small kitchen.
Good afternoon dear friends!
Design a small kitchen for many people, become a stumbling block. Often get out the same mistakes: improper appliances, poor ergonomics of the space, etc. Today I have for you to collect 7 errors to account for and avoid them if you are planning a small kitchen space.
Error 1. Priority art due to storage.
Be careful not to purchase the necessary equipment, which you will use in the best case only once or twice a year (for yogurt, deep fryer, food processor, etc.). Install better technique, which will have to use every day when preparing food.
If you have a window in the kitchen, you can do without a hood, for example. It is better to install another wall cabinet for kitchen utensils, dishes or food.
Error 2. The choice of the usual household appliances.
Admittedly, the built in technology a bit more expensive, however, it is more compact and can save you plenty of space in a small kitchen.
Hiding a dishwasher or oven for the same facade, you will create an impression of unity and visually expand the kitchen space.
Error 3. Prefer closed storage.
They are bulky, and even if they help to increase storage space, still they are not suitable for small kitchens.
Large kitchen cabinets reduce the work surface countertops, which is never a positive thing in a small kitchen. You should be able how to store kitchen utensils, and have enough space for cooking.
Error 4. Use matte surface.
It is best to bet on lacquered or glossy finish kitchen units that will catch the light and increase the visual space.
Not only is the lacquered surfaces of kitchen furniture (facades) looks advantageous, and even create a mirror effect, perfect for a small kitchen.
Error 5. Choosing unsuitable tiles.
Ceramic tile and aesthetic fashion, but not durable.
In the kitchen, especially if it is small, we tend to be marking time in one place, and it quickly loses its original appearance. Over time, a dark floor will look much better than light. Ideal - ultra simple ceramic tile in the area of cooking and sink, and parquet flooring in the rest of the kitchen.
Error 6. Leave unused corner.
In a small kitchen, we must not forget the corner pieces, trying to combine standard elements of kitchen units and custom.
To save space, it is useful to use the corners of the room, setting an adapted sink or custom shelves.
Error 7. ignoring height.
On the wall above the doorway can easily accommodate folding chairs when you are not using them.
Similarly, you can set the storage system of shelves for utensils, which is rarely used.
