The Coolest Kitchen Ideas: Relocating the Gas Stove, 2-in-1 Table, and Floating Hood

2-in-1 Table

If you want to place a full dining and bar table but the kitchen space doesn't allow for it, consider a fold-down option. For example, housewife Vera used a fold-down countertop for her bar table. This is a very interesting variant!

Ready-to-Assemble Doors

Kitchen of Aida and Boris is large, bright, and functional. All cabinets are IKEA ready-made solutions that the couple assembled according to their needs. Aida's tip: if you choose a kitchen set from pre-made options, order the kitchen first and then plan the electrical wiring accordingly.

Relocating the Gas Stove

As a result of re-planning a 6.5 sq.m kitchen, designer Ludmila Danilovich moved the door opening to the gas stove location. It's not possible to hide a gas pipe, so they decided to cut it and conceal the key in a cabinet. A decorative baseboard made of self-tapping screws was installed at the bottom to hide access to the pipe entry point.

Using Cabinet Depth

If the width of kitchen cabinets doesn't allow for built-in appliances, you can always use depth. For example, on this kitchen, Ludmila installed a microwave oven on the side of a cabinet. This choice was made because the microwave wouldn't fit next to the built-in refrigerator in width.

Outlet Placement on Sills

In her projects, Ludmila always places outlets on the sills. This is a very functional solution, especially in small kitchens. In this way, you can fully use the additional work surface on the windowsill.

Hidden Exhaust Pipe

On this kitchen, the hood seems to float in the air. The effect is created by an exhaust pipe embedded into the wall, decorated with ceramic tiles.
