5 ideas to win space in your kitchen


If you live in a small apartment, you will need to find the best way to win space in order to live comfortably, without having to dodge furniture and stuff.

The first idea to win space in your kitchen at your apartment is to open a hole in your wall. This may not give you space literally, but it will give you a sense of having more space in your kitchen and the other room (generally the living room); plus, it may light up the kitchen. Besides the hole, if you paint the kitchen walls with a light color (pastel tones specially), it could also give you a sense of having more space.

Another idea in order to win space in your kitchen is to put folding chairs and table in order to fold them when you are not using them. Nowadays, there are some new pieces of furniture that are really cool and useful when it comes to saving space. All these things will give you mobility and space in your kitchen.

A third idea to have more space in your kitchen is to put a high cupboard in the corner of the kitchen. This way, you won’t loose any usable space and win it in other areas. In this cupboard you may put utensils and kitchen appliances, which we generally put on the kitchen counter.

A fourth idea to win space in your kitchen is to install big drawers to put pots (one inside of the other), in a comfortable and useful way.

Moreover it is advisable to keep all the kitchen appliances and utensils in a drawer or a cupboard, since if you leave them on the counter, it will take you space, and it may give you a sense of having less space than you actually do as well.

Lastly, in order to have more space in your kitchen, the best thing to do is not to over fill it with stuff, especially if they are things you don’t use often (or not use at all). If you learn how to organize the appliances and have all the things you use and need at hand, and leave the rest in some other place, you will have plenty of space in your kitchen.

So, in order to win space in your kitchen, be practical and look for the best way to put everything away but at hand.
