In order to make more space for the living room or bedroom, some apartments reduce the size of the kitchen. It seems that a kitchen of only 4m²-8m² is not necessarily more difficult to use, but it just requires more effort in space storage.

The traditional Chinese kitchen is full of crowded storage cabinets, and a refrigerator looks perfect. But, with so many storage cabinets in the kitchen (and they all look exactly the same), are you sure you will use them all? Are you sure you can use them all smoothly?

In fact, for small kitchens, although space storage is important, it is also very important to use it conveniently!

The best storage is one that looks good and is convenient!

Compared with the traditional large-area storage wall cabinet, this storage space of different sizes is more convenient to use! Commonly used items are directly placed in the open storage grid, which is super convenient to take and put! You don’t have to tiptoe when cooking supper at night for fear of disturbing your family.

▲ Leave some space at the corners of the wall for open storage to place some small items that you use frequently.

▲ Open-style embedded storage niches are made at the upper and lower corners of the wall.

▲ You can also make a small sliding door outside the storage niche. It is light, simple and flexible to use.

▲ If there are fewer people in the family and you cook less often, you can directly make a long open storage niche on the wall. The rest of the space can be left blank, which is practical and beautiful.

Learn how to classify and store!

Most of the classified storage in the kitchen is pots, pans, and utensils. The most practical way is actually drawer storage. Tools of different lengths are classified into different places, which makes it quick and convenient to find them.

In addition to customizing this type of drawer storage, you can also directly purchase storage trays and place them in the drawers, which is not difficult to arrange.

▲ Neat and practical grid drawers

▲ Drawer storage for pots and pans

Use open storage as a visual embellishment

Partition racks are very suitable for open storage, but for small kitchens, this kind of external storage space should be concise and just used as an embellishment.

▲ Make a simple one-line partition rack under the wall cabinet, which is simple and beautiful.

▲ The combination of perforated board and straight partition frame

Keep the space transparent

Visual crowding is mostly caused by the wrong choice of objects. For example, if the kitchen is small and is filled with various wall storage cabinets, the overall space will appear crowded and heavy. When choosing storage cabinets, it is recommended to use glass or leave blank space.

▲ Replacing the wall cabinet door panels with glass doors will give you a wider field of vision.

▲ If there are not many things in the kitchen, it is recommended to leave the wall blank, which will make it look transparent and highlight the sense of space.

Storage is important, but on the premise of meeting our life needs, we can consider installing fewer wall cabinets, which can not only save costs but also make the overall space brighter.
