Small Kitchens Designs From Performance Kitchens & Home
Small kitchens designs can sometimes be a challenge, but not at Performance Kitchens & Home. With the right approach, you can create a beautiful and functional space that elevates your cooking and entertaining. Whether you’re living in a Manayunk townhouse, a Center City studio apartment or a tiny house in Bucks County, there are several tips and tricks you can use to maximize your space and create a kitchen that works for you.
Keep it Simple
When it comes to small kitchen design, simplicity is key. Avoid cluttering the space with too many decorations or appliances and opt for a minimalist design that emphasizes functionality over style. Choose neutral colors and simple designs to create a cohesive and visually appealing space.
Use Multi-Functional Furniture
One of the best ways to maximize space in a small kitchen is to use multi-functional furniture. For example, a kitchen island can double as a dining table, while a storage bench can provide seating and storage space. Look for furniture that can serve multiple purposes to make the most of your limited square footage.
Emphasize Storage
In a small kitchen, storage is crucial. Optimize your storage space by using open shelving, hanging pot racks, and adding cabinets above the refrigerator. Use every inch of available space, including the backs of doors and walls, to maximize your storage options.
Invest in Space-Saving Appliances
When it comes to appliances, choose models that are designed for small spaces. For example, a compact refrigerator or a slimline dishwasher can help you save space without sacrificing functionality. Consider investing in appliances that can serve multiple functions, such as a combination microwave and oven.
Create an Illusion of Space
If you’re working with a particularly small kitchen, you can create the illusion of more space by using light colors and reflective surfaces. Choose light-colored cabinets and countertops, and add a mirror to reflect light and make the space appear larger.
Optimize Your Layout
Finally, make sure your kitchen layout is optimized for your space. Consider a U-shaped or L-shaped layout to maximize counter space, and position your appliances for easy access. Use a kitchen planner tool to experiment with different layouts before you commit to a design.
