Kitchen Design Brisbane – Small Kitchen Designs Part Two

Small kitchen design tips part two:

Continuing on from our other article on the design struggles many individuals face in their small kitchen areas we’ll take a look at such things as the galley based design, benchtop optimisation, common customer kitchen mentalities and ways you can use simple interior design techniques to boost your kitchen design Brisbane undertaking to the next level!

One methodology common in small kitchen design is to take pages from airplane and large cruise ship space management. The galley on these transport devices serves no additional revenue to the company that operates them so they are naturally always crammed into the least amount of space possible, yet still manage to retain all the features of a fully fledged kitchen when required. Lining up cabinets and appliances along one bench space in a hallway fashion can give you the ability to get a lot done in a limited amount of space, thus cutting back on time in the long run. If you are able to accomplish more than one task in any given space then you truly are packing more punch in your kitchen than most professional chefs in a spacious restaurant kitchen.

Through further optimisation of your kitchen benchtop space you will be able to open up your kitchen to the rest of the house and help remove that small kitchen feel and effect. Perhaps incorporating a dual level countertop will allow you to carry out the meal preparation on the lower level, and have your appliances installed or ready to use on the upper level. Smart and innovative thinking that truly matches and meets the demands of your family are what it is all about. An island benchtop may allow more than one individual to assist the cook in the kitchen and opens up a whole host of other variations and options for your kitchen design.

It pains us to think that most people consider their kitchen to be very small and compact when in actual reality, many home owners have not taken the time to properly design and manage their space efficiently from the beginning. Vast kitchen expanses like those seen on the television or in homes of wealthy individuals are far from the norm so don’t let this distract you whilst planning your upcoming kitchen renovation. Small additions like a fold out table or counter are some of the more elaborate options available to help reduce a customer’s reliance on seemingly single-use items such as a dining or coffee table in their current situations.

Through proper optimisation of drawer, pantry and shelf space, any kitchen can be easily whipped into line. The use of ceiling to roof doors on the pantry provides a great illusion of space as does painting the kitchen in a lighter colour such as white or beige. Suitable lighting in key places, combined with a light paint job will open up your kitchen to the rest of the house and before you know it, the old, dark, dimly lit cave you used to call your kitchen will be no more. Moving to a single cavity kitchen sink, hangars and racks for wine glasses, pots, pans and spices are also nifty little tricks to boost the space available to you in the kitchen.
