We have already known that how we can put a kitchen in a very small space or how much it cost to remodel your small kitchen, but in the event that you only want to do a small remodeling, the key will be to maximize the space, taking care of the millimeter. For this reason, before doing anything, you must have a project done on paper, personally by you, or by a professional architect or interior designer like the works that the Schmidt Company does. See the image below with an extension for the table so that we can store it when we are not using it and stretch it when we need a place to eat.
Remodel Your Small Kitchen
Remodeling the kitchen, however, may imply changing the odd orientation or choosing new furniture that will be arranged in a more functional way and saving more space. This is the case of this L-shaped kitchen model, also belonging to the Schmidt firm. A remodeled kitchen with all the elements placed so that they only occupy two walls, but can still have a small island.
How to Take Advantage of Space in a Small Kitchen
Once we already know how to put a kitchen in a very small space, as well as how much it costs to put a kitchen and how to remodel your small kitchen, we want to show you many more ideas so that you can take advantage of the space of your kitchen in the event that it is already assembled and I just need a little change.
In this way, if you already have a small kitchen, the fundamental thing is that it be practical and not buy more appliances than are necessary for day to day. Let’s see then many more photos with ideas for all tastes and with the most varied styles. You are sure to find inspiration for your kitchen!
As we already know, the main key to taking advantage of the space in a small kitchen is removing the walls. In this way, we will gain space and above all, we will have a feeling of spaciousness and we will gain luminosity.
In addition, if after getting rid of the walls the kitchen is too close to the living room or dining room, we can choose
to make a separation with an island or, if we do not have an island option, with a vinyl floor. It is a very cheap and easy-to-place option that will help us maintain the opening but visually separating the two spaces.
If we can have an island in our kitchen we already have a great ally for storage since the island can incorporate two large drawers where we can store everything we need to cook or crockery. And if we don’t have an island we can always turn to the shelves. In addition, there is now a trend to expose the cabinets so it can be very good.
Another tip that we also give you if you want to take advantage of the space of a small kitchen is that any piece of wall that we have or corner, just with a wooden table and a stool we can turn it into an office or breakfast/coffee area.
How to Decorate A Simple and Small Kitchen with Little Money
With some small details, we can make our small kitchen perfectly decorated and give a great change while spending little money.
As we mentioned before, one of the most fashionable options lately is vinyl rugs. It is a sheet that we can find in different patterns (the ones that are most used are those that imitate tiles of different colors) that we only have to stick on the floor of our kitchen. We can cover it completely or choose only one area to make it stand out, such as the sink area or the office area.
Another very easy way to decorate our kitchen is to put some pictures on it. Many times we forget to decorate the walls of the kitchen and with a couple of framed prints, we can give it an incredible change. Also, don’t worry because you won’t have to drill. Nowadays there are many methods to stick the picture on the wall without having to make a hole.
On the other hand, as we told you before, kitchens in which tools and utensils are visible but strategically placed are very popular. You can get a cheap bar at Ikea and put all your utensils on it. To make it more beautiful, I recommend you combine some cloths, with a basket or bag, cutting boards, a touch of green with a hanging plant … and make sure that your utensils are of the aesthetics of the kitchen. For example, if we want to give it a rustic touch, we will choose them from different woods.
The jars for storing pasta, vegetables, and spices can also be a good idea for decoration. In addition to having them more handy and organized, they will give a very nice touch to the kitchen.
