Do not rush to break the law and take down walls to expand the kitchen. And without this design allows you to get the most out of even very limited space. We have collected 10 life hacking for kitchens ranging from 5 to 10 squares.
1. Lockers in three rows
Standard headsets typically require two rows of lockers - the lower and upper stationary mounted. But to expand the storage capacity designers sometimes allowed under the ceiling one more, an extra row. In the example pictured their weight gain even on a refrigerator and a front door.
2. practical sill
Typically, in the kitchen it is used only for the storage of small household appliances, and other details. But if you close the window sill conventional resilient to external shocks countertop, it can be used as a complete work surface.
3. The space along the wall
Narrow strip beneath the kitchen apron almost never employ. And in vain! Because there can be provided a built-in system for cutlery, knives, chopping boards, spices and whatever else.
4. Place in the refrigerator
To put the refrigerator near the window is not worth it, even if the width of the partition under it enough. Not even speaking at the window itself, a major appliance will block natural light, and the kitchen will be darker. The only exception - a kitchen with a ventilation duct near the entrance. In this case, the refrigerator next to the ventilation will be too act in the center of the kitchen.
5. Built around the perimeter
Do not be afraid to use all the kitchen space for storage and work surfaces. The main thing is to open doors between the facing opposite each other cabinets remain free space. However, this option is suitable only for families, where they like to cook, but eat in the living room - space for a dining table just will not.
6. open shelves
Wall, along which to install cabinets is simply impossible, too, is to use. For example, a narrow open shelves for serving dishes. This is especially a good solution for the space above the dining table or breakfast bar.
7. Furniture with a secret
Dining table and chairs in the kitchen needed only during the meal, and then, on the rest of the time you can hide them. In the example pictured designers have provided the cabinet with a secret. Support for table - in fact cupboard flaps and flap Stoleshnikov - it is top of all the same leaves. In addition, the stools can be removed inside.
8. Blind kitchen
Sometimes designers prefer to hide the kitchen entirely. This decision is especially important if the room is combined with the living room to get more space. The whole set is entirely placed in a cabinet, whose facade is opened only during cooking.
9. Kitchen dresser
Not necessarily to hide the kitchen in a vertical column - enough to provide special cover panel for the lower cabinets. The example in the photo they turn set into the floor of the podium, on which you can even walk. But such a solution is useful for any kitchen-living room. Then the set will look like an ordinary chest of drawers.
10. Universal appliances
Appliance manufacturers began to pay attention to the trend of micro-living and develop a new concept for the kitchen. For example, a five-foot countertop, they fit a sink, hob, dishwasher and fridge mini format. The dishwasher can be replaced with, for example, or a microwave oven compact.
