Unlocking the Potential: A Family’s Journey to Maximize Space in Their Old-Era Kitchen. Witness how they turned limitations into opportunities with unique design ideas, creating a masterclass in efficient space utilization.
Creating an attractive and functional kitchen space in an old-era home is a difficult task. However, some owners of such apartments demonstrate amazing ingenuity, developing unique solutions for placing the necessary household appliances and work surfaces to make cooking a pleasure.
A soft shade of lilac was chosen for the kitchen set, which gives it grace. A special feature is its angular design, which makes it possible to fit more shelves for convenient storage of things and kitchen utensils. Although this design may not seem very fashionable, its functionality in tight spaces is key.
The kitchen countertop spans the entire wall, attracting attention with its unusual pattern reminiscent of sea pebbles. Despite potential concerns about the aesthetics of this choice, this pattern is practical because it is less noticeable for stains, dirt and the inevitable scratches over time.
Particular attention was paid to the placement of the sink: in contrast to the traditional corner location in old-era buildings, it was moved closer to the exit from the kitchen. This allows for easier access to the sink while minimizing the inconvenience that surrounding cabinets may create.
The approach to the location of the stove and hood was also determined by the desire for maximum practicality and ease of use.
The variability of work surfaces and the presence of a corner hanging cabinet with a translucent dark door promotes visual variety and does not overload the eye, which is extremely important for small spaces. Despite its compact size, the kitchen creates the feeling of a fully equipped and bright room, at least from a visual point of view.
