Tiny kitchen ideas

When available no more than 5 square meters, need to think outside the box or, at least, with particular thoroughness to treat every inch of living space. The tiny kitchen ideas is not uncommon in the development of the Soviet model homes, and many are very similar in the initial planning. Today, together with the designer Olga Bondar, we looked at 3 options of arrangement tiny kitchen ideas in a studio apartment. Plans suit different types of tenants, with different needs and habits.

Linear placement


Objectives: to place the necessary instruments and equipment (sink, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave); provide storage space; to find a place for a small table with the possibility of unfolding for the reception.

Solution: a good option in this case would be the location of the devices and equipment straight-line method. To save space and respect for the required functionality optimally use the plate with two burners instead of four built-in under counter refrigerator, dishwasher compact (450 mm wide). If possible, from the oven can be abandoned in favor of storage space for cutlery and major appliances (eg, juicer) or utensils and household utensils. A good solution is to use the built-in and hidden behind facades technique (microwave oven, extractor hood, dishwasher, refrigerator). To maximize the functionality of this plan suggest using the full height namely, the upper cabinets to the ceiling. And let the facades are smooth. The height of the built-in hoods available, provided that the electric stove. For a gas stove the distance from the surface to the hood must be 750 mm.

Pros and cons of planning: for cons include compactness, the absence of large amounts of storage space. However, at the same time planning fulfills all the above objectives: contains all the necessary tools and equipment, there is enough work surface, storage space, a table for two people (can be expanded), it retained enough space.

Two-row arrangement


Objectives: to place the necessary instruments and equipment (sink, stove, full refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave); provide storage space and a small table with the possibility of unfolding for the reception.

Solution: a good option would be the location of the devices and equipment Double-row manner opposite to each other. On the left side are a sink, dishwasher, stove, oven, full refrigerator, high upper cabinets to the ceiling. On the contrary - multi-unit storage, a table for two people with the possibility of folding, he's working surface. Above it a case with built-in microwave oven and storage space; over the table a narrow shelf. By the way, the chairs can also be foldable to save space during cooking.

Pros and cons of planning: for cons I'll take the rejection of the plate four burners in favor of two. Pros solutions: we were able to place all necessary instruments and equipment. Designed multifunctional module for storing utensils (eg, frying pans and saucepans), or large appliances. The module also serves as a work surface and a dining table, which, thanks to a special design, can be expanded for the reception. The maximum functional use a tiny kitchen ideas area

The angular placement


Objectives: The need to place the necessary instruments and equipment (sink, stove, full refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave); organize storage space; provide a dining table.

Solution: the basic tools and equipment arranged by the letter T, the refrigerator stands alone, on the contrary. In this embodiment, a key role is played by the corner element (1200 mm long). Set aside under the sink cabinet 600x600 mm, which allows full use of the corner element for storing large appliances or utensils. The dining table can be fixed or folding, and folding. Chairs can also be folding or slide under the table.

Pros and cons of planning: from minuses a small dining table, as well as smaller, compared with other options, space to move around the kitchen. Pros: a full refrigerator, stove 4 burners, a sufficient working surface, the presence of a large storage space for kitchen utensils or appliances.
