Small studio apartment kitchen that blends functionality with tranquility
This u-shaped kitchen is cleverly set up with smart storage solutions like organised drawers and cabinets, wall-mounted racks and trolleys to keep essentials close at hand. It brings a sense of peace and order to daily cooking in a kitchen that feels calm and practical even though space is limited. It gives you a lot of kitchen space without having to have a lot of kitchen space.
Smart space for compact cooking
Smart design saves the day when you’re short on space for cooking. Prepare food on the EKBACKEN worktop in terracotta effect laminate, perfect for tight-corner cooking. Spills and grease wipe away easily. Laminate worktops are durable and easy to maintain, with a little care they stay looking like new for years. Now it’s time to get things cooking, so this IKEA 365+ non-stick wok in stainless steel makes it easy for you to cook delicious food and clean up after. It works on all types of hobs, including induction hobs, and the hardwearing sol-gel ceramic non-stick coating reduces the risk of food burning or getting stuck. Short on space doesn’t mean you have to be short on style, or tasty food.
It’s what you don’t see that makes all the difference
Get a look at the hidden benefits of having narrow cabinets around the oven. No more running around, looking for ingredients or utensils while you’re busy creating your culinary masterpiece on the EKBACKEN worktop. This LAGAN oven in stainless steel is conveniently close to the METOD/MAXIMERA pull-out interior fittings with white VEDDINGE front, so everything’s at your fingertips. UTRUSTA pull-out work surfaces turn a drawer into valuable extra workspace. Somewhere to store, somewhere to work, a match made in heaven. And it’s all neatly stowed away.
The kitchen where saved space meets easy access
VEDDINGE drawer fronts and doors combine with EKBACKEN worktops to give a beautiful yet modest flavour with this practical combination of space and accessibility. Your cooking appliances are stored beneath the worktop, ready to be used at a moment’s notice, with chopping boards on the worktop and smaller items in the PÅLYCKE clip-on basket in white hanging above. You’d be surprised how much cooking utility you can get in a compact space. It’s all about how you design your environment.
Why not keep utensils on your walls when you’re tight on worktop space?
When space is in short supply, there’s lots of room on your walls. The SUNNERSTA rail with four hooks and two containers in white helps free up worktop space while keeping cooking utensils close at hand. And the KUNGFORS magnetic knife rack in stainless steel makes it easy to stow, see and reach all your different knives. It’s practical, looks professional, and helps keep your knives sharp since they don’t scrape together in a drawer. Less chance of cutting yourself than rooting around in drawers looking for sharp knives. Now walls can feel like worktops too.
Trolleys and wall racks put every nook and cranny to use
NISSAFORS trolley in white has a sturdy construction and four castors that make it easy for you to move the trolley and use it wherever you like. It’s great for tight spaces because of its small size. Use it as extra storage for kitchen utensils. It doubles as an extra work area in the kitchen, practical storage for dry food, or even an impromptu coffee table for a well-deserved coffee break. KUNGSFORS net bags in cotton are great for hanging from hooks in your kitchen to store fruits and vegetables, your kitchen looks fresh, and the food will last longer. Tight spaces need flexible solutions.
