Small kitchens often seem to lack not only physical space, but even air. However, the problem is not only in the area of the room. UAportal has told you that poor planning, the wrong choice of cabinets, and mistakes with lighting can all lead to a feeling of crampedness in the kitchen interior.

Choose individual solutions

Consider purchasing a customized kitchen set. This solution allows you to maximize the use of vertical storage. To do this, make sure that the upper cabinets reach the ceiling, effectively utilizing every available centimeter.

Compact and functional appliances

Don't forget about the convenience of compact and functional appliances. For example, a blender or microwave can be incredibly useful. You can use the saved space for other purposes.

If your family consists of only a few people, there is a good solution. Replacing a conventional stove with a two-burner hob can free up additional space.

Efficient dining area

Ideally, it is best to separate the dining area from the living room or use a window sill if possible. If these options are not available, consider using a folding, extendable or convertible table to save space.

Enlarge the room with colors

It is recommended to choose light and solid colors for both the walls and the kitchen unit. This approach seamlessly merges furniture and walls, creating the illusion of spaciousness.

Lighting.

Careful planning of lighting is an important aspect to ensure that each area, whether for cooking or washing dishes, is well lit. Also, remember the importance of functional ceiling lights to improve visibility throughout the kitchen.
