Improving counter space is one of the most common requests in a kitchen makeover. If you are thinking of changing the kitchen layout, there are easy ways to make it less cramped.
These space-saving tips will help in creating a functional counter.
- If you prefer a streamlined look to your kitchen, use built-in appliances. This gives you ample previously unused storage while allowing you to choose the best combination of features and appliances.
- Opt for smaller appliances. You can downsize your sink, dishwasher, or stove to increase storage and counter space.
- As much as possible, avoid cabinets sitting on the counter to maximize every inch of precious space.
- For base cabinets, consider using drawers instead of shelves. You can keep pans, jars, and other kitchen supplies in there, making them more easily accessible.
- When you own a small kitchen, a rolling cart is one of your best bet. You can just wheel it out for additional space and then slide it to the side when you’re not using it.
- Add extra storage to your wall with hooks. It’s a perfect space to hang pots, pans, and other housewares. You can also consider replacing knife blocks with a mounted rack.
- If you have extra space, go for a small kitchen island. It provides the much-needed workspace as well as a place to eat. Make sure to add stools that can be stashed underneath when not in use.
- You can improve design details starting with the sink. Use an articulated faucet so you can bend it out of the way when you clean large pots, bowls, and dishes. Try mounting it on the wall for a funky, modern look and innovative functionality.
- Find hidden spaces, for example, in the kitchen island. You can store cookbooks, slip a spice rack, or transform it into a wine storage.
