Small spaces are a trend. We speak especially of tiny houses, which have become so fashionable in recent years. But, in general, any home with small spaces is welcome in Ikea. This giant of the sale of furniture is entirely focused on bringing to market furniture for small spaces with which to make the most of our little homes.
Tiny houses or apartments are not a novelty; they have been around for a long time. Until recently, it was a bore for their owners, who had to order made-to-measure furniture if they wanted to make good use of space. That is a much more expensive option than Ikea furniture prices. Now, the leading Swedish brand has opted for the creation of numerous pieces of furniture and accessories for small spaces, including, of course, kitchens.
What is Ikea furniture designed for small kitchens?
The first factor to remember when decorating a small kitchen is that every space counts. However, it is necessary to achieve by all means that the room looks much larger than it really is. Therefore, neutral colours, such as white, beige, etc., are essential to give a false sense of spaciousness. We should not overdo the placement of cabinets for the small kitchen. These take up a lot of space and make the room look cramped. Ikea has furniture specifically created to solve this problem at the root.
When the excess of cabinets is such an obvious problem, we must consider taking advantage of the room’s height as much as possible. That is why we can use the tall cabinets METOD MAXIMERA that we can find in Ikea. In them, we can add drawers or various shelves to store food and household cleaning products, for example.
To give a much more exclusive feeling to the kitchen furniture, you can buy in Ikea comfortable handles for the doors. We can find different designs, each more modern and elegant. They will give the small kitchen the feeling of designer decoration, like something from an interior magazine. All this at very affordable prices for our pockets, of course.
Other furniture for small kitchens
It is best to keep cupboards and cabinets on one wall in small kitchens. This way, we ensure that we cover only some of the room with cabinets and that the kitchen is not too overloaded. Therefore, placing the cabinets up to the ceiling is best to take advantage of the height, thus creating greater amplitude. The colours should be neutral and with integrated appliances that do not protrude more than the cabinets. In this case, we recommend the ENHET kitchen unit, which has open shelves, cabinets and drawers.
