Furniture that "destroys" small kitchen space

Kitchens with an area of ​​8-12 m2 often face many limitations when designing the interior. According to architect Doan Manh (Combo Home), in this case, it is necessary to prioritize the use of light colors and arrange an I-shaped kitchen cabinet system to help the space be airy. In addition, it is important to avoid some common mistakes and inappropriate details as follows:

Large dining table

Oversized dining tables can "clog" the space and hinder circulation, so homeowners should consider using a small size that is just enough for their needs.

The kitchen island should be integrated into a dining table or replaced with a smart, foldable one. This solution helps save space, creating a flexible and convenient space.

Many electronic devices

Using many electronic appliances to support the cooking process will increase the feeling of bulkiness, creating unnecessary pressure on the modest kitchen space. Instead of using many separate devices, choose multi-function products to save space.

For example, instead of using a separate grill and microwave, the homeowner can consider choosing a microwave with integrated grill function. Scientific space planning helps optimize the usable area, making the cooking process simple and effective.

Price, separate shelf

Many people have the habit of buying things without considering their usefulness. Shelves and racks are a typical example. Many people mistakenly think that these items will help keep the kitchen tidy, but the reality is quite the opposite.

The advice is to design the kitchen cabinet system to optimize functionality and storage, combining the classification of cabinet compartments scientifically. This helps to store more items and is convenient when cooking.

Too many decorations

Avoid choosing too many decorative pieces, especially large or heavy ones. Instead, keep the space clear by reducing unnecessary items and focusing on small, elegant pieces.

Large and multiple pendant lights

Large pendant lights and dense placement are common causes of "space occupation" in small kitchens. If you still want to use artificial lighting, you can consider downlights (mounted on the ceiling and shining light down) or spotlights (shining on a specific location, can adjust the direction - angle of light).

Downlights should be used when a diffused lighting effect is needed and a sense of spaciousness is created. Spotlights are suitable for highlighting and increasing light in specific areas, such as the cooking area. Using the right type of light will make the kitchen space brighter and warmer.
