New Kitchens for Smaller Spaces

Smaller spaces are becoming more and more popular right now especially that more people are moving into metropolitan where getting a big house is means you have to be rich. Small apartment units require much creativity just to make things fit.

Certainly kitchens should not be taken for granted just because of smaller space. Fitted kitchens seem to be the solution for this to make sure that you get what you need and you are more comfortable using it. 

     Here are some of the things that you can do for smaller spaces: 

    1.   Hanging cabinets

Cabinets are indispensable. These are where you should place your utensils. Those include plates, bowls, glasses, and cups. These cabinets should be hanging way above your sink to make sure that they are out of your way if you are preparing meals or washing dishes.

You can also use hanging cabinets to store food and can goods. You also have to make sure that your cabinets are securely attached to the wall.

    2.   Electric cooker

For smaller apartments, it is best not to use gas. The gas tank is too bulky to store. Electric cookers, which are usually flat, are the best alternative for gas stoves. They can also be slow cookers compared to gas stoves because they do not give off instant heat.

Electric cookers are best especially if you are not always in a rush, or if you do not have a lot of time to watch over what you are cooking.

    3.   More under compartments

Under your sink, you should utilize space, and this means having more compartments. Here, you can place all your cooking pots. It should also work more of a cupboard so that you can go for smaller refrigerators.  

You can also use these under compartments to place kitchen appliances after you use them. These appliances would include microwave oven, a toaster, or a blender.

    4.   Lighting

Good lighting is very important for smaller kitchens since you have to make sure that spillages and things that may lead to accidents are prevented. You do not have to worry, because you just need one piece of light for this, preferably to be positioned right above your sink.

This light should be flat as much as possible, and most of the time should be installed with a protective casing to make sure that it does not get disturbed or short circuited when bumped into.
