Do you need a large space for the perfect kitchen?

Maybe when you read the word kitchen you think, “Fine, but my house is way too small for that!” Did you know that you can also perfectly create a living kitchen in a small space? It is perhaps even cozier and more cozy than those large open spaces. By making smart use of space and making use of every corner, you can also turn a small space into a beautiful kitchen. We give you a number of tips for creating a kitchen in a small space:

• Use light colors to enlarge the room.
• Create a bar or a kitchen island. Here you can turn on bar stools to also work as a kitchen table.
• Choose compact equipment. Perhaps you could place the cooker above the refrigerator or install a cooker instead of separate equipment such as a kettle. The more loose things you have, the messier it gets.
• Avoid clutter. Clutter makes a room quickly feel full, and therefore smaller.
• Round dining tables are perfect for a small space! These take up less space and you don’t bump into the highlights.

Materials and furnishings determine the mood

You can think of a kitchen as an extension of your living room. With an open kitchen, it is therefore extremely important to match the style with the living room. For example, do you have a Scandinavian-style living room? In this case, it would of course be a little different if you opted for a country kitchen. Make sure to keep the same style of the living room in the kitchen and choose suitable furniture. A beautiful statement piece as a round dining table are a valuable addition to your kitchen. Round dining tables are much more comfortable because you look at each other more and can have contact with the whole table. In the end, that’s what a kitchen is all about: warm cosiness.
