Very Small Kitchen: How to Fit Everything? 6 Designer Ideas

All owners of standard apartments and tiny studios think about how to make a small kitchen convenient and functional. We show how professional designers solve this task.

Compact Household Appliances

In a small kitchen, use compact appliances: for example, a dishwasher that is 45 cm wide, a two-burner cooktop, and a small refrigerator. For instance, designer Anastasia Rykova managed to place an oven cabinet with microwave function on top of it.

Bar Counter Instead of a Table

If there's no space for a large table on a tiny kitchen, a bar counter can help. It can be either freestanding or an extension of the worktop.

Shelving Instead of Corner Cabinet

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

Replace them with a narrow cabinet with glass doors or shelving: placing all your jars of grains and dishes there, you get a full-fledged pantry.

Open Drying Rack Instead of Cabinet

If you don't have space to dedicate an entire cabinet to a drying rack, take this idea down: hang an open drying rack next to the sink — it won’t take up much space and will come in handy if you don't cook often.

Work Zone by the Window

Do you dream of a more functional kitchen but don’t have enough space to realize it? Move the cabinet to the window: a convenient work triangle and sufficient workspace are guaranteed.

Multi-functional Cabinet

One of the problems of a small kitchen is having no place to store vegetables and fruits. Here, custom furniture can help: instead of regular shelves, you can make a system of sliding drawers for storage. Take note!
