Kitchens in Corridors: Examples from Projects

Sometimes the kitchen is so small that it's simply impossible to fit all necessary items on it. Or, conversely, a spacious room owners want to convert into a living room. We tell how Russian designers solve this task. And recall how to legalize a reconfiguration.

Kitchen with a vibrant cabinet

In a two-room apartment, designers of OM Design studio reconfigured and arranged three rooms. They fitted a living room with a TV zone, a bedroom, and a large children's room on 77 square meters.

The kitchen was moved to the place of the former corridor and built into a niche. Note how strikingly the vibrant color of the cabinet and apron with an ornament look.

Passage Kitchen

In this single-room apartment with an area of 48 square meters, designer Maria Cherkasova also moved the kitchen to the corridor to decorate the space as an additional room.

Where the kitchen was located, they arranged a bedroom for the client's daughter. Since the 'wet' zones were not affected, the reconfiguration was approved without problems.

Kitchen in a Cabinet

In this Moscow apartment, the architect of Studio Bazi used the tiny space to its fullest. They fitted a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and kitchen on just 33 square meters, hiding the kitchen in a cabinet.

Unobtrusive Kitchen

To create the most comfortable space on 36 square meters, designer Margarita Fomina did not give up a full-size sleeping area and a living room for guests. However, this required changing the layout and moving the kitchen cabinet into the corridor.

Kitchen with Bright Accents

In this elongated cabin-shaped one-bedroom apartment with an area of 35 square meters, designers of 'Volkovs Studio' arranged a full-size bedroom and living room. The kitchen was moved to the corridor, and a relaxation zone was organized on the glazed balcony. See how well the space was used.

Bonus: Examples from Sweden

Kitchen in Scandinavian Style

This two-room apartment with an area of 51 square meters is located in a building from the 1920s. The highlight of the interior is a passage kitchen. It combines with a dark corridor, wardrobe, and has no windows at all.

Sufficient Kitchen

This Swedish compact apartment has only 30 square meters. To accommodate all functional zones in one space, designers extended the corridor — installed a kitchen cabinet and a spacious storage cabinet.
