What kitchen extension ideas can you implement?
It is no secret that one of the main problems in arranging small kitchens is the lack of free space. This issue is especially important, as it is the main room in the house. Therefore, buyers of small and large apartments too are looking for ways to expand the kitchen space.
The solution can be divided into 2 parts. First, it is necessary to make the most rational use of the available premises. Secondly, steps should be taken to visually increase its perception.
Visual ways to expand the kitchen space
- White colour is the best option when arranging the premises of a limited area. It can help you achieve better illumination, which directly increases visual perception. White is used in kitchen fronts, countertops, walls, and ceilings to create a continuous space, devoid of visual boundaries. However, this approach requires contrasting color accents.
- Natural light visually expands in any space. For this reason, it must be used as much as possible in the interior space of a small kitchen. This can be achieved with minimal decorative window treatments so light-colored kitchen blinds can add privacy, without obstructing space.
- Low contrast colour shades enhance the perception of kitchen space. At the same time, there are no sharp visual transitions from dark to light.
When discussing space expansion, we should be measuring the physical impact on the kitchen so that it directly affects the visual impact. So, let us get to the two main tips for expanding space with design techniques.
Physical methods of expanding kitchen space
- Very few people know that it is possible to reduce the size of the furniture, the kitchen countertop can be transformed into a45 cm (about half the length of a baseball bat) depth, or even 35cm.This allows you to free up a lot of space both for yourself and for a dining table with chairs.
- Another technical design solution for small kitchens are retractable smart tables from under the kitchen countertop or leaning back from the wall, such amenities make it possible not only to expand the space, but also free up space for when you are cleaning or doing repair work.
- As well, storage systems built into a niche or partition are in better harmony with the surrounding space, if they are made in the same or similar color tone.
- A technical implementation that can create more space in the kitchen is the use of the ceiling area. The ceiling can be used as an element for shelves or hanging structures. A light structure may well hang over the table, on which everything, up to crystal glasses, can be placed. And all this will be attached to the ceiling.
All these tips are highly effective if you have basic knowledge of construction and kitchen design experience, but most importantly you must have a concrete understanding of what you want from the kitchen.
