If you have an elongated or linear kitchen that is not very large , we explain how to distribute it in order to achieve the maximum possible utility and functionality with the intention of taking advantage of every square meter of space.
To organize the space well in an elongated kitchen, the furniture will play a fundamental role to avoid creating the feeling of a hallway effect.
A possible solution to maximize space would be to establish an L-shaped distribution , taking advantage of the 90º angle of the long partition with the short one, although this is not the only solution.
When it is the case of a small kitchen, the L-shaped formation is practically the only solution to make the most of the available space .
It is recommended to place appliances that take up more space on the opposite side of the windows so as not to block natural light. Subsequently, take advantage of the long partition for the installation of the ceramic hob, the extractor hood and the sink and establish in the short partition, taking advantage of the light from the windows, a peninsula that can act as a table, making the most of the L-shaped layout
. If you do not have access to natural light , we can make the kitchen open-plan by taking advantage of the lighting in the living room. If we do not want to have an open kitchen with access to the living room, we can install transparent glass screens to take advantage of the light in the living room but establishing a separation between rooms.
To distribute a small, long kitchen, we must always take into account the light we have available to avoid the hallway effect or a room that causes claustrophobia.
This can be the alternative to the L-shaped kitchen .
In this case, we can take advantage of the long partition to place the kitchen in an elongated shape, giving it continuity . To have everything well managed in this type of kitchen, we must place shelves above and below the countertop to gain as much storage space as possible. This type of arrangement usually takes advantage of the entire height of the wall with furniture that reaches the ceiling.
This layout is usually used for small homes that do not have much space. This layout provides a light and spacious feeling.
They usually have an exit to the living room and if integrated correctly it can become a very functional kitchen.
If we have an elongated and spacious kitchen , a very beneficial solution could be the bridge kitchen with island , which can be adapted in an elongated way to the room, causing a feeling of continuity and visual harmony.
We can take advantage of the long partition to install the part of the kitchen with the bridge and add the island in parallel or we can even add a bar accompanied by stools that acts as an island, creating an “office” area .
If we have a sufficiently long and spacious , the U-shaped formation may be ideal .
U-shaped kitchen formation is the most useful to make the most of the kitchen space , since we will have much more room to manage storage. To make a good U-shaped kitchen layout, we can place countless extras such as an “office” bar or even an island without limiting the space and even larger appliances.
Measure and take into account the size of the appliances as well as their location in the kitchen . Depending on the use you are going to give to the kitchen, you may be interested in placing the appliances strategically to facilitate certain tasks .
Think about the smells. It may be a smart option to place the ceramic hob near the window, this way you will have greater ease in placing the extractor hood.
Thinking about utility and aesthetics, it may be a good option to place LED lighting integrated into the furniture above the countertop and ceramic hob. In this way, we ensure lighting concentrated on specific tasks , in addition to providing versatility and elegance.
Make the most of the size of your countertops. , space can be .
