Let’s discover some of the key methods and ideas to consider when designing for a small kitchen.
As the old saying goes… less is more, don’t feel the need to overcomplicate the design of the kitchen. Handleless doors are recommended to achieve a clean, uninterrupted aesthetic with sleek surfaces and integrated appliances.
Our design team recommend lighter coloured units with glossy finishing, which gives the kitchen a more airy feeling. The same technique used with large mirrors to open up the space and making it feel bigger than it is. Finally, make sure the space is well lit with interesting lighter and LED strip lighting.
Using a downdraft extracted cooktop is beneficial in countless ways. Opting for a space-saving cooktop like the Bora S Pure helps designers use additional wall space that would be taken up by the overhead extractor, adding beneficial storage space for more wall units or overhead shelving. Also it gives the opportunity to place the hob wherever they wish and not to best locate for wall power sockets.
Our full-service kitchen process will transform any space you have available with the utilities and kitchen storage you need most. Small kitchens don’t have lack character and elegance, we push the boundaries of what is possible. Set our award-winning designers the task of converting your interior space or existing compact kitchen into the kitchen you have always wanted.
Vital to designing for small kitchens and compact kitchens is optimising storage space. As horizontal spacing may be limited due to the length of your kitchen, you must use the wall space to your advantage. Add variety to the kitchen with clever storage features such as shelving, open units, glass fronted units and push-operated wall units. Let our award-wining designers experiment with your available space and see what we come up with.
Drawers offer greater usability in small kitchens with easier access at varying levels. Drawers also offer more storage opportunities for smaller kitchens, at times proving 3x the amount of storage than a conventional cupboard unit.
Compact variations of appliances are abundant across the majority of kitchen appliance manufacturers, and they certainly benefit a small kitchen – opening up further space required for other amenities and storage. Integrated appliances often come in smaller than standalone products but enable seamless integration into the kitchen space, providing the necessary product and keeping the streamlined aesthetic. Krieder offers a wide variety of built-in appliances available to order, see our range of kitchen appliances.
