Hyderabad: The kitchen is not just a cooking space anymore, but a lifestyle space. We all dream of a spacious kitchen with sky-high ceilings and tons of natural lighting through massive windows. Architect Nidhi Vaish shares how a differentiated design approach can help you with more room in your kitchen area than you could have ever imagined.
Getting the height of the kitchen counter right can be a little tricky. While you ensure all appliances are at a comfortable working height, work on unlocking extra counter space above. These higher counters can also be used as a breakfast table or partition unit. Adding extra height to the overhead unit gives space to store less frequently used items in the kitchen.
Adding a built-in fridge and a tall unit with a combi microwave oven can also help in freeing up the counter space. One can also look at installing a cooking range to bring all cooking requirements under the hob itself, leaving the rest of the area to be planned for storage. Recently, warmer drawers have gained popularity to keep counters clean by tucking away all the utensils once cooking is done. For a small kitchen, it makes even more sense since the counters are free with food waiting in the drawer till mealtime.
Another great way of ensuring more space in the kitchen is to create a pull-out pantry, which makes use of an awkward nook next to the refrigerator and hides unsightly dry goods behind a super-useful chalkboard door. You can also opt for a slim rolling kitchen cart or bar cart to serve as extra counter space.
Lastly, remember that the lighter the kitchen, the larger it can feel. Sometimes, keeping an especially light palette on countertops, backsplashes, walls, and millwork also helps a small kitchen feel more open.
