7 New Design Solutions for a Small Kitchen

A small kitchen is not a sentence, we remind you again and again, but rather an opportunity for creative exploration!

Some of these design ideas are not new, but rather forgotten old ones: it's always useful to be reminded of them. Let's look and choose.

Do Away with Curtains
If the kitchen is very small, it's better to do away with curtains entirely or replace them with roll-up blinds. The space will look more open and light.
Highlight One Wall with Graphite Paint
It may sound paradoxical, but black color can visually expand the space — a black wall literally dissolves into the air. If you place a small table and black stools or at least ones with black legs next to it, they will also melt away.
Choose Compact Appliances
A small kitchen is not a reason to compromise on comfort: a dishwasher with a width of 45 centimeters can be built-in even into a tiny kitchen module. You just need to prioritize correctly!
Commission a Folding Table from a Carpenter
This is the only solution for very small kitchens — a folding table and bar stools. The table can be folded away quickly, and the bar stools can be placed along the wall.
Use the Space Under the Window for Storage
In a small kitchen, all reserves of space should be utilized, including the area under the window. See how many additional cabinets you can create!
Make the Kitchen Part of the Living Room
A radical solution: suitable for those who are not afraid of cooking odors in the living room.
Buy Stools Instead of Chairs
The best option is stacking stools: they can be arranged together, stored in a closet, and brought out when guests arrive.
