Making the best out of the kitchen space if you have a small kitchen is something we all have done since we moved out of our parent’s house. Even if we had just a simple 10 x 10 space for a kitchen we can make it work with a little creativity. This is how you transform your small kitchen space into an efficient, clutter-free cooking space with just 6 steps. Take a look at these Kitchen Hacks for Small Spaces.
1. Use Vertical Space
If you have a small kitchen space, you can save a lot of room by making use of the vertical space. Install cabinets, and shelves in a vertical order and store things that you don’t often use on the top shelves. You can use pegboards to hang utensils, pans, and pots. You can space drawer space by using magnetic strips to hold cutlery on the wall but it might take some effort. Using vertical space will save you some space in your kitchen that you can use for something else. And also on the plus side, it looks very creative and fancy.
2. Opt for Multipurpose Furniture
Multipurpose furniture is genius equipment you can use not only for your kitchen but for your other spaces as well. They will serve more than one purpose saving space for you. In a kitchen, you can use a kitchen island as a dining table and you can also use a for-out counter that can be tucked back into a corner or wall saving so much space. You may have seen tables with foldable chairs built onto them. Buy one and see how it will change the appearance of your kitchen and also how it makes your life easy.
3. Use Drawer Organizers
Our kitchen drawers are usually messy and it could be a headache inside a small kitchen. Frustration and anger along with a clustered space feeling will ruin your mood to cook and enjoy a soothing meal. In order to mitigate that, you can use drawer organizers which help to keep utensils, kitchen tools, or your cutlery neatly arranged in an order and they will not go all over the drawer once you open or close the drawer in a hurry. If you can keep them in an organized manner, you can make more room to store more equipment and items in the drawers.
4. Install Hooks and Racks
Using hooks and racks in a small kitchen will help you once again save space and get to your equipment quickly. We install hooks or racks behind doors, at the side of shelves so we can hang our mittens, rags, and maybe other utensils like drainers.
5. Make the Most of Corners
Corners are usually very good for storage purposes if you work in a small kitchen. Corners in a small kitchen are too small for an adult to work at. Because of that keep the working station to the middle part of the kitchen or one designated wall of the kitchen and keep the corners to store your supplies and appliances like the refrigerator or your stove. You can also fix or install shelves along with corners and save space for your kitchen.
6. Utilize Your Cabinet Doors
Cabinet doors are also very useful places to place hooks and racks so you can hand miniature details of the kitchen like a lighter, matchbox, cables, or even first-aid. Using cabinet doors is a smart way of saving up space because the inside of a cabinet door is rarely touched and it will not misplace anything unlike inside a drawer or a cupboard.
