When designing a new kitchen , there are several situations that need to be kept in mind. In particular, if you find yourself in a condition of limited space, considering dimensions and dimensions well allows you to develop a project that is livable, practical and functional. In this, a series of tricks can be very useful, such as organizing the space in modules or with custom-made furniture, elements that allow you to calibrate the dimensions to the centimeter and are appropriate in order not to waste centimeters. In this article we will explain the most important space-saving solutions for this room of the house:
- Space-saving appliances: Did you know that XS appliances exist
- Space-saving furniture: container furniture
- Utensils under the cupboards
- The importance of exploiting the space in height
Space-saving appliances: did you know that XS appliances exist
On the market it is possible to buy appliances , built-in and not, for the kitchen with smaller dimensions than traditional models. In fact, little space does not mean giving up the convenience of a high-performance oven, an efficient dishwasher or a very important extractor hood .. For the latter, in particular, the new built-in or extractable under-wall units solutions on the kitchen top allow for an efficient appliance, reducing the overall dimensions to the maximum. The large manufacturers produce different models of household appliances that simplify life and adapt to small dimensions. Once purchasable with sustained figures, certainly higher than conventional models, they are now available with absolutely affordable prices. Space- saving furniture: container furniture
As for furniture, today on the market we find many combinations designed specifically for those with little space. From the internal drawersperfect for organizing everything, in corner cabinets with practical pull-out solutions, passing through retractable tables, optionally correlated with retractable chairs, the panorama of XS kitchen furnishings is truly vast. In particular, the removable accessories are an excellent ploy to keep everything in order. Suitable both for the part under the workbench and for the wall units, the pull-out modules simplify life and allow you to store objects inside, occupying all the space in depth and eliminating the worry of “forgetting” something on the bottom. An extra trick to save space can also be to use furniture with sliding doors, this will allow you to optimize the centimeters even more avoiding the clutter of doors andhinged doors . Utensils under the wall units
Even the space under the wall units if well used and optimized can prove to be more than useful. If equipped with small shelves designed ad hoc it can be perfect for storing, near the hob: spices, salt and everything you need for cooking. But it can also be very useful for storing utensils, to be placed on specific under-cabinet bars equipped with hooks, or glasses to be placed on grids, suitably designed for this use. Furthermore, completing this space by adding specific lights or spotlights , to be placed right under the tall cabinets , will allow you to better illuminate the kitchen top, thus making it accessible in all its parts.The importance of exploiting the space in height
In a condition of limited space, exploiting all the existing space in height (with very high wall units or even with double overlapping wall units) will allow to optimize the environment in the best possible way. In these cases, the advice is to use the higher wall units to store utensils that are not needed daily and to keep the necessary and daily items in the lower furniture. If you do not want to congest the whole kitchen with high cabinetsyou can organize yourself by purchasing or having a single storage unit made to order that covers the entire height with shelves up to the ceiling inside. In this way, the kitchen will not congest too much, but even if in part, it will save space.
Once considered small cramped spaces, today small kitchens are welcoming and hyper functional, practical and dynamic spaces. Designed with often highly technological furnishing solutions that allow you to make the most of all the space, they are organized environments that offer comfort and quality.
