7 Ideas to Arrange a Small Kitchen

How to make a small kitchen convenient and functional — this is something all owners of standard apartments think about. Together with Leroy Merlin experts, we share what to consider when planning the space yourself.

Work zone by the window

Do you dream of a U-shaped kitchen but the door is in the way? Move the cabinet to the window: a comfortable work triangle and enough workspace are guaranteed.

Compact appliances

In a standard kitchen in a panel house, use compact devices — they are available in every manufacturer's lineup.

For example, a narrow dishwasher with a width of 45 cm will fit perfectly, and a two-burner cooktop instead of a full-size stove will save space on the work surface.

Shelving instead of corner cabinets

When planning a G-shaped kitchen, many apartment owners leave space for semi-circular floor and wall cabinets or shelves. Agree, these often turn into a storage for unnecessary items and bags.

Replace them with a narrow cabinet with glass doors or shelving: putting all your jars of grains and dishes here will give you a proper pantry.

Focus on slide-out drawers

On a very small kitchen, slide-out drawers will be more practical than hinged doors. Besides, it's easier to organize storage and maintain order in them.

Bar counter instead of a table

If there's no room for a large table on a tiny kitchen, a bar counter will come in handy. It can be either freestanding or continue the work top — a convenient solution.

This arrangement of a TV is possible if you use a shortened version of a built-in oven cabinet instead of a full-size one.

Extra storage

Additional railings and hooks can expand the storage possibilities in your kitchen. Hang cooking tools (spatulas, spatulas, whisks) on them, place spice jars: a small kitchen can and should be convenient.
