Small Apartment Kitchen Ideas
Organization
- Most apartment kitchens are small and, as with any small space, it can be a struggle to keep things organized. Keeping a kitchen organized is also an opportunity to decorate. Installing a shelving unit or even the tiniest of racks add storage space and flair. Add these items to wall using wall hanging strips, a non-permanent solution for hanging things on walls; read the directions with the strips to be sure no damage will occur. Ask your landlord's permission before adding any permanent additions to your apartment's kitchen.
- It is not an extremely common feature in apartments, but some apartment kitchens are eat-in kitchens, which are large enough to have furniture for meals. When choosing a kitchen set for this type of kitchen, something wise to keep in mind is the furniture's scale--its proportions in relation to the kitchen as well as the other items within the kitchen. Measure your kitchen, and decide what counts as an appropriate-size piece of furniture, not too massive and not too tiny for the room.
- When decorating a small space, less gives the feeling of there being more to the room. In any small space, it's common to slip and fall into the realm of cluttered messiness. A tip for creating an aura of spaciousness is to add mirrors to an area where light is reflected.
Add Color
- Color is a power tool in an interior decorator's tool kit. If painting the walls of your apartment violates your leasing agreement, add color by finding functional items in the color tones you want to use. Opt for a silver trash can if the look you want is modern. When it comes to fabrics like rugs and curtains, search for items in colors and even textures you find attractive and fitting for the theme you desire for your kitchen.
