Hey there, Kitchen Wizards and Space Savers! 🧙♂️📏 Today, let's dive into the art of transforming a teeny-tiny kitchen into a culinary paradise. Who says you can't have a fancy kitchen in a snug space?
The Secret Sauce to Small Kitchen Success ✨ Kai, the design maestro from Yi Quan Design, spills the beans on making every inch count in a compact kitchen. From old homes to new apartments, each has its own recipe for success. Let's roll up our sleeves and get into the nitty-gritty!
Old vs. New: Kitchen Layouts 🏡 Older homes offer more freedom to revamp the entire kitchen setup, while new apartments have predefined water and exhaust ducts, making major overhauls a bit of a pickle. But fear not, where there's a will, there's a way!
Sizing It Right: The Key to Kitchen Comfort 📐
The One-Wall Wonder: For kitchens that follow a single-wall layout, a length of 210 cm is workable for light cooking. But for those who love to whip up feasts, aim for 240 cm to avoid any culinary chaos.
Island Dreams in Small Kitchens: Dreaming of an island in your kitchen? Aim for a width of 70-80 cm for a double-sided sitting arrangement. Remember, the sink's size matters too – European sinks are shallower, needing more countertop space than their Taiwanese counterparts.
Bumping Heads with Upper Cabinets? 😬
The magic number between countertops and upper cabinets? 60-70 cm. This way, your exhaust fan can flex its muscles, and you won't have a tête-à-tête with your cabinets.
Marching through the Kitchen without Collisions 🚶♂️
For those who like company while cooking, a 120 cm wide walkway is your ticket to a collision-free kitchen. Solo chefs can manage with 90 cm.
So there you have it, folks – turning a cramped kitchen into a comfy, functional haven isn't just wishful thinking. It's all about playing your dimensions right! 🌈👩🍳
