The kitchenette: how to furnish it?
Limited spaces represent the most difficult, but also the most stimulating, challenge for those who want to find the perfect furnishing solution for their home. This is even more true when talking about an environment such as the kitchen, intended to satisfy not only aesthetic but also functional needs.
Furnishing a small kitchenette in the right way is important, because the quality of domestic life depends largely on how practical, livable and comfortable this area of the house is. Even more so, if you want to rent your apartment to students or occasional clients, it is important to carefully take care of the arrangement of the furniture in the kitchen.
Those who travel, in fact, look for comfortable, complete and captivating solutions. For this reason, it is essential to also give the right importance to the color solutions chosen for the kitchenette.
For example, a small space can be enhanced with a choice of bold colours, which gives character and liveliness to the kitchen. Laminate modular units in bright red or yellow, for example, will steal the eye and offer a sense of completeness even in limited sizes, especially if you manage to create a pleasant contrast of shades with the colors of the walls.
Obviously, particular attention must be paid to the choice of appliances, to ensure maximum functionality for the kitchenette: built-in refrigerators and, in general, all small version appliances are the perfect solution. In this way, you will have at your disposal a small kitchen, but complete with hob, oven and hood.
Classic solutions
Usually, when you think of classic kitchen furniture, large rustic tables, wooden benches and bulky wall units come to mind. This is not always the case, however, because some prestigious Italian furniture brands offer truly compact and graceful rustic-style kitchens.
By taking advantage of the vertical spaces of your kitchen corner, you can create a welcoming rustic effect, with wooden doors alternating with open elements, such as shelves and shelves. A wrought iron or steel backrest will be very useful for hanging all the chef’s utensils, to always have ladles and forks at hand.
An important part of the furniture in a kitchenette is represented by the tiles. A classic style allows you to opt for a covering with a slightly retro design, with floral motifs and warm colours, to match with the right lighting. In this regard, lighting with pendant chandeliers is a must in a small kitchen, to prevent floor lamps and floor lamps from taking up additional space from the walkable surface.
Modern solutions
The modern style is undoubtedly the one that best suits a smart kitchen. In fact, even in the narrowest corners, doors, drawers and retractable trolleys can make your kitchen efficient and elegant.
If wall-mounted modular units are perfect for exploiting the height space, there is nothing better than a bar table or an island to create dynamism within the environment and create new spaces where it is more difficult to imagine them.
An island shelf, in particular, constitutes a very versatile solution, because it is a comfortable support surface and can accommodate a multitude of drawers and shelves, which help to optimize spaces and store cutlery, pots and various utensils.
The modern lines of your kitchenette also lend themselves to charming design solutions. For example, it is possible to integrate the lighting of the marble top and the hob directly below the wall units, with elegant LED spotlights.
The final effect, then, will depend on your personal taste, which you can express through particular furnishing elements, such as high American stools, chrome taps or simply curtains in line with the chosen kitchen furniture.
As you can see, the space available is always a resource, even when it is little: creating your minimal kitchen will be simple and fun. In our catalog you can find a series of solutions proposed by the best Italian brands at advantageous prices to furnish even the smallest of environments!
