Narrow Kitchen Cabinets

But sometimes in our apartments such small or narrow, “trailer” kitchens, that it is not possible to place a standard suite on them. The best way out of this situation is a “narrow” set, designed specifically for small-sized kitchens.

For example, wall cabinets should be high - up to the ceiling, which allows you to store rarely used dishes on the upper shelves. Also, do not forget that the simpler and more concise the headsets, the “easier” it looks.

The most suitable material for the manufacture of kitchen furniture is laminated chipboard thickness of 16mm. The second most popular material - MDF - medium density fiberboard.

Furniture made of solid pine is also in great demand. Such a headset always looks very beautiful and solid. The disadvantages include a high price and some bulkiness of products.

For small kitchens, it is preferable to choose light-colored furniture - white, cream, lemon, light pink. Together with the correct lighting, this will allow you to visually enlarge the space.

The best solution for a small kitchen is considered a corner set, which occupies two adjacent walls. This layout is very convenient for the hostess and saves free space under the dining area. Another plus is that the corner wall cabinet is very roomy in size and is perfect for storing dishes.

If the kitchen is elongated, then a linear arrangement of cabinets along one wall will be more appropriate. This will save not only free space, but also money - narrow straight headsets are usually characterized by a budget price.

Of course, first of all, choosing furniture for the kitchen, do not forget to measure the room itself and draw up a plan of accommodation. Do not forget that the facades of dark colors "steal" space, and light, especially with glass doors - expand.
