Small Kitchen Optimisation: Every Centimetre Counts

Small Kitchen Solutions

In many flats in Istanbul, the kitchen is squeezed into 6–10 m². With smart design decisions this limited area can be made highly functional.

Vertical Storage

Cabinet systems reaching to the ceiling height provide valuable storage space for rarely used equipment. With a ladder or a practical step stool, access to upper shelves ceases to be a problem.

Open Shelf System

Open shelves instead of wall cabinets create visual depth and make the space look airier; however, they require discipline in keeping things tidy.

Colour Strategy

White or light-toned kitchen cabinet fronts make the space look larger. When dark tones are used only on lower cabinets or an island, both a stylish and an airy look is achieved.
