How to decorate a small kitchen looks good and saves money

Kitchen layout.

The layout design of the kitchen is also one of the main expenses, from the current kitchen decoration design, there are more L-shaped and slotted shapes, considering that the direction of the kitchen and the direction of the house will be very different in the layout. The price of a design with a more elaborate layout is high, while a normal design is relatively affordable.

Kitchen style. The decoration of the small kitchen is also diverse in the choice of style, and it is better to choose a simple and generous design for the decoration of a small area, so as not to cause a sense of depression in the space. A simple and bright style creates visual comfort, and the modern minimalist European style is ideal for decoration and meets the needs of modern living.

1. The kitchen is relatively narrow: a slotted or L-shaped pattern.

The one-line pattern can only be designed with a single-wall cabinet, which requires higher space utilization, and it is recommended that household appliances, cabinets and countertops are positioned on the same side.

The biggest advantage of the L-shaped kitchen is that it makes full use of the space and avoids the waste of wall corners. At the same time, relatively speaking, it has slightly higher requirements for the width of the kitchen compared to the slotted layout. For this type of solution, consider placing the cooktop and hood on the longer side of the L-shape, and a small group of floor cabinets or refrigerators on the shorter side of the L-shape.

In short, the biggest disadvantage of narrow kitchens, mostly rectangular layouts, is that the width is not enough, and modern families are mostly designed for overall cabinets, which highlights the embarrassment of narrowness. If the design is not done properly, it is easy to create a dilemma that it is difficult to even turn around. Therefore, it is recommended to use the above two schemes when designing the scheme.

2. The longitudinal extension of the kitchen is short: double or U-shaped pattern.

The double-word layout is commonly referred to as the corridor style: it is considered to be the most efficient layout and is often popular in restaurants because it maximizes the use of space for kitchenware and operations.

U-shaped kitchen: It is an upgraded version of the L-shaped kitchen, and it is also a design scheme with the most complete basic functional layout. Its advantage is that the functional area is complete, the actual operation has a good experience, and the small couple can experience the fun of cooking together.

However, this is also a double-edged sword, as it undoubtedly requires a high level of kitchen area, which is also the most scarce resource for small apartments.

In general, if the kitchen is a square layout, you can consider these two options to maximize the use of space.

3. Slotted island layout: suitable for open type.

In modern families, the kitchen is not only limited to the basic function of cooking, but also an important part of the owner's life taste. Introduced to China from the West, the island has always been highly sought after, especially for young people. If it is an open kitchen design, an island is placed to make full use of the limited space of the kitchen, and at the same time, it can also enhance the design sense of the kitchen and highlight the owner's taste.

Obviously, the disadvantage of this design scheme is that it requires a lot of space, and when the kitchen area is not large, the island is likely to become a great addition to the painting.
