Home Buying and Small KitchensHome Buying and Small Kitchens

Home buying and small kitchens are often at odds, but a small kitchen does not have to stop you from purchasing a home that is perfect in every other way! There is a kitchen layout that is widely considered ideal. It is called the “kitchen work triangle,” and consists of three points: the stove, the sink, and the refrigerator. When these points are set up in a triangle, it is most convenient to prep ingredients, cook, and clean up. Whether you are facing an extra small kitchen in your Charlotte house for sale in Southpark or a layout that is far from ideal, this article will help you make the most of your kitchen!

 

Home Buying and Creating More Space for a Small Kitchen

Do not fear. There is hope for your kitchen in your home for sale in Southpark! There are many easy and simple solutions to any kitchen dilemma and these are just a few.

If you are craving more space for cooking, consider using your sink as a work space. For example, you can buy a cutting board that fits over the sink to make food prep more enjoyable. You can also use the stove top as a countertop when it’s not being used by simply setting a butcher block on top of it.

If you have enough space in the middle of the kitchen, you can purchase a small portable or non portable island. An island with wheels allows you to store it in a closet or corner when you aren’t using it. If space is especially lacking, you can also install fold-down tables.

 

Maximizing Your Kitchen Storage Space

A small kitchen inevitably lacks storage space. Try installing a hanging pot rack in your kitchen. You will be pleased with how much cupboard space is freed up when your big pots are elsewhere!

If your drawers are crammed with silverware and every type of utensil, consider using big jars to hold your everyday silverware and cooking utensils. Not only will you have more drawer space, but with everything in sight, it will be much more accessible.

Lastly, you can install a magnetic knife strip on the wall. This will free up counter space when you remove that chunky wooden knife holder to make room for that fun kitchen gadget you’ve always wanted!

It is possible to make your small kitchen in a Southpark home for sale work for you, and even create a cozy feel all your own! Do you have any solutions that made your small kitchen shine?
