This tiny 6️⃣ m² kitchen looked hopeless at first, but after the renovation, it’s almost unrecognizable! 🍀 🏚 Clever use of space and a few bold choices turned it into something truly special 🛠 The transformation is so impressive—you’ll want to see it for yourself in the article below! ⬇️
Masha and Grigor, a young married couple who are expecting a baby, own this kitchen. They have already renovated all the rooms in their home—only the kitchen was left untouched. With a space of just 6 square meters, it was quite a challenge.
Only modern, large apartments can offer spacious kitchens. In older buildings from 1950 to 2000, kitchens are usually much smaller, often around 4 to 10 square meters.
Before the renovation, the kitchen had several problems:
– There was no range hood.
– The lighting was poorly planned.
– Electrical outlets were placed randomly.
– The refrigerator had to be kept in the hallway.
– There was no room for appliances.
– The kitchen layout was not practical at all.
– There was very little storage space for dishes.
– The kitchen table was huge and inconvenient.
– There was no door.
After the renovation, everything changed:
– They installed a translucent glass door.
– The walls were painted white.
– The space for the TV was decorated with frames of different colors and sizes to visually expand the room.
– A countertop was installed, extending to cover the windowsill.
– A narrow bar counter was mounted below the TV.
– A mobile, foldable table was added to maximize space.
– The kitchen cabinets were set up in an L-shape, with bright green and orange doors.
– The backsplash was made from the same material as the cabinet doors.
– The windows were fitted with horizontal blinds in colors that matched the kitchen.
– Transparent chairs were added to keep the space looking open and light.
The windowsill was extended along the wall, and a bar-style shelf with smooth, rounded edges was added nearby. The kitchen also has a foldable table made from artificial stone that can be neatly tucked under the bar shelf when not in use. It moves along a track along the wall with the TV, making it practical and space-efficient.
The TV was mounted above the table and framed with polyurethane frames. This design creates a “perspective effect,” making the TV seem farther away and less bulky.
Lighting was also carefully planned:
– LED strips were installed above the work area.
– Four ceiling lamps provide general lighting.
– Additional lighting was placed under the windowsill and bar counter.
The tempered glass door is not only easy to clean but also allows light from the kitchen window to brighten the dark hallway.
The walls were painted white to balance out the bright cabinet colors. A frosted white glass door, gray and white stone-like countertops, and translucent chairs also help to create a calm, balanced look.
The window was fitted with aluminum blinds, and the floor was covered with linoleum that looks like wooden flooring.
The result is a cozy and cheerful kitchen that makes the most of its small space!
