Not everyone was lucky with a spacious and comfortable living space. But having in your arsenal a narrow space, do not worry, taking advantage of our advice, you can easily fix this unpleasant situation.

Layout

Not only in a narrow, but even quite standard room furniture arrangement is crucial. Therefore, before choosing the desired headset, clearly delineate the entire space. In total, there are four types of planning, from which you can choose the right one for you:

1. Linear

This is ideal for narrow rooms, assuming the placement of the working surface along one wall. In this case, the sink will be located between the fridge and the stove, which will save the working surface as much as possible and leave more room for maneuver.

2. Corner

This layout implies the location of the headset along the adjacent walls. This option will provide the maximum area for the main countertop and visually make the room more square. And if in such kitchen there is a window, then as a bonus it is possible to involve and a window sill, preliminary having transferred a radiator of heating in other place.

This place can be used as a dining area or placing a shell. And if you connect it with a common table top with a headset, then you will win even more work surface.

As an option, the location under the window of a dishwasher or washing machine, perhaps you will take a mini-refrigerator there, and in that case you will become a happy owner of a couple of vacant square meters.

3. Double row

For those who have the breadth of the kitchen, they can use this way of positioning the headset, but only if the distance between the rows is not less than a meter. And in this case it's better to transfer the dining area to the window.

4. U-shaped lay-out

Very comfortable, but not always available. As mentioned above, the distance between rows should remain more than one meter. Perhaps to achieve this result, you will have to abandon the dining corner in the kitchen and move it to another room.

Choose colors

Of course, in such limited spaces the best solution would be to use white color with dilution with bright accents or soft cool tones. But if you still want to weave dark colors, then it is better to add them to the floor covering and the lower cabinets, but not higher, otherwise the space will visually decrease and will press on you with its muffled gloominess.

But also completely in white colors it is not necessary to make the whole kitchen interior. Too blurry frames will pile you into an atmosphere of uncertainty.

Organize lighting

If the kitchen has a window - then it's just wonderful. Do not close them with heavy cloths of curtains, and do not force thick vegetation. The light must pass into the room unimpeded and illuminate everything around.

And if you still have high ceilings, then hang the lamp lower, so it will be more comfortable to be in a small room with high walls.

Also do not forget about the illumination of the work area. You can put a LED strip directly over it or insert light bulbs into the upper cabinets. This will not only simplify the work in the kitchen, but also help create a pleasant environment thanks to multi-level lighting.

Choosing a headset

Now the most important thing. Better, of course, to order furniture, rather than to buy ready. So you consider all the features and use more work surface. Experiment with flip tops and bar counters. The design of a sliding or folding table is possible. Be sure to use the window area, combining it with a common table top with a headset.

Ideal are the doors opening upward or the closets. They will provide quick access to objects, and thus will not occupy space with opening flaps.

As for the upper cabinets, then carry them out of lacquered material, and best of all with glass inserts. Play on the contrasts, leaving rich tones for the bottom, and for the top white, beige, cream or gently blue colors that will give airiness and weightlessness to the whole environment.

We release the top

Replace the upper cabinets with open racks, recesses or shelves. This simple trick will remarkably relieve the situation. Generations with glass doors are possible. In addition, the background can be distinguished by an original print or an unusual texture.

What else do you need to know

• Flooring is better to move across the room, so more visually increase the entire space.
• To at least somehow smooth the dizzy height of the ceilings, paint them in light shades of beige, blue or olive.
• Do not be afraid of mirrors and reflective surfaces. In the narrow kitchens they will be on the contrary ideal.
• Good will look transparent chairs and tables, dissolving in a general setting, giving it lightness.
• Remove the heavy curtains and hang them to replace them with blinds or Roman roll curtains. Perhaps you will like the air organza, lace or even a thread of linen.
