What to do if the kitchen is too small and there is not enough space for electrical appliances

Expand kitchen space

First of all, when decorating, find ways to expand the kitchen space, occupy the corridor and dining room space, and improve the utilization of space. The kitchen should be open or semi-open, and the door should be sliding or folding. Secondly, the kitchen and dining room can be integrated, the space can be integrated, and the design can be carried out. The space under the dining table can be used as a storage cabinet, and the other space in the dining room can be used as a storage cabinet to increase the storage space.

Kitchen Storage

To organize the kitchen well, the first thing is to do a good job of separation. Store frequently used items in the kitchen and place infrequently used items in spaces near the kitchen, such as the dining room, balcony, etc. The second thing is to plan the storage space of the cabinets and design the maximum storage capacity of the kitchen. At the same time, consider the convenience of taking and putting items. A too crowded kitchen is not a good experience. The third thing is to organize the items in a refined way and make good use of every space in the kitchen.

Kitchen appliances

The main appliances in the kitchen, such as the range hood and the stove, must be placed in the kitchen. Other important appliances include refrigerators, disinfection cabinets and dishwashers, which are more convenient to use. Common appliances include rice cookers, ovens, microwave ovens, electric kettles, electric water heaters (kitchen treasures), and water dispensers. Less commonly used appliances include health pots, juicers, bread machines, coffee machines, ice bars, etc.

Generally speaking, a conventional kitchen is equipped with a kitchen appliance and a range hood, which are the two must-haves. Others depend on the space in the kitchen and your own needs. For example, an oven and a disinfection cabinet can be embedded under the kitchen counter, and a dishwasher can be embedded under the sink or near the drain pipe. Large appliances that are inconvenient to move are usually installed inside the kitchen.

Other small appliances can be stored in the small space of the kitchen. For example, the space under the wall cabinet can be used as a shelf to place small appliances.

Or you can make a thin cabinet on one side of the kitchen, 35-40 cm thick, to place small appliances.

Or you can make a small appliance trolley and place the small appliances on it. Do not place it in the kitchen, balcony, or other places at ordinary times, and take it out when needed.

Small appliances can be placed in the kitchen cabinets, floor cabinets, or wall shelves. If the kitchen is small, it is recommended to simplify the appliances and try to choose multifunctional appliances.

How to renovate a small kitchen

First of all, if the kitchen is 1.8 meters wide, you can consider making a U-shaped kitchen cabinet. The side with the gas stove can be 55 cm wide (the standard is 60 cm, but 55 cm is definitely enough), and the other side can be considered to be a 35 cm or 40 cm wide cabinet. Then leave 4 sockets 30 cm above the narrower cabinet. The kitchen appliances in the later stage can be placed on this countertop. If there are too many appliances and the countertop is not enough, you can consider hanging them on the wall (build a shelf on the wall and put them directly on it). If it is still not enough, you can consider hiding them in the wall cabinet or the floor cabinet, but don't forget to leave sockets behind the cabinet. In addition, if the kitchen is small, if the refrigerator is placed in the kitchen, plus the heat dissipation space on both sides of the refrigerator, it will take up a lot of kitchen space. If there are too many kitchen appliances, you can consider taking the refrigerator out of the kitchen, so that you can save a lot of space for kitchen appliances. You can choose which is more important. According to many years of practical experience in decoration, there are basically these solutions for small kitchens and many appliances.

Kitchen design tips for small kitchens

The kitchen is too small and there is not enough space for too many household appliances. The best solution is to make use of every inch of space as much as possible to increase storage needs. Cabinet storage is a must, and more storage space must be added under limited conditions. For example, wall cabinets and wall-mounted storage can meet more storage needs!

As long as the storage space is increased, even if there are many small appliances in the kitchen, the placement needs can be met. Some kitchen appliances that are not often used can be put away, and a place can be designed to reserve for these appliances when they are in use. In this way, the whole kitchen will look clean and tidy!

For people who don’t like cooking, many appliances in the kitchen are dispensable. As long as there are equipment for cooking, daily needs can be met.

For those who like to cook, they like the kitchen to be fully equipped. If they have the means, a house with a large kitchen is their first choice, because if the kitchen is too small, even if it has all the necessary equipment, it will not satisfy them to display their cooking skills.

Therefore, if you are unable to change the size of the kitchen, the focus of kitchen decoration design is to increase the storage space in the kitchen to meet the needs of placing all kitchen appliances!
