A kitchen of 11 square meters is the dream of every owner of a small apartment. Such an area will make it possible to realize interesting design decisions and not be tormented with the choice of a kitchen set. If you also have access to the balcony from the kitchen, you are lucky, since the space of the balcony can be connected to the main square. In this case, you will be able to create a concise design. The balcony area will serve either as a continuation of the working surface, or as a separate resting place. You will receive instead of 11 sq.m all 14-15.
By the way, if you connect the spaces, designers do not recommend making a semicircular arch in the place of the doors. Such an interior has already gone out of fashion, and on stylish photos we can see clear, even lines of the portal - now the trend is sharp angles and simplicity.
Three color choices
As soon as you decide which style design will prevail in your kitchen, the time will come when choosing a color scheme. If you look at , you can see a variety of tones and combinations. Yes, such a room allows the use of bright colors and dark colors. But there are several features of the selection of color schemes, which will make the space easy and wide.
- If you find it difficult to figure out what the design of the room should be, choose light shades of decoration and furniture. It doesn’t matter if you use plastic or wood, focus on white, light green and beige colors. Want to diversify your kitchen? Combine two colors - dark and light, but one tone. There should be less dark.
- To add 11 square meters of light and make the space visually wide, try a high-tech design. Photos of such interiors will tell you that metallic elements and cool shades prevail here. They will reflect the sun's rays and fill the room with light.
- Use the mosaic to decorate the walls of the work area. Such a design will look non-standard. If you choose a multi-colored mosaic, its colors can overlap with the upholstery of chairs or flooring. Look at the photo where a mosaic of two or three colors is used - the interior of the kitchen will be transformed.
Another fashionable trend in the design of a kitchen of 11 square meters is to use glass with photo printing for the wall zone above the countertop. Due to the integrity of this design, glass makes the working area visually narrower and smaller.
Save space with modern details
To create a complete design and at the same time not to litter the room with unnecessary equipment, utensils and small things, use convenient boxes, racks and structures. Multifunctional furniture will give your 11 sq.m more free space where you can easily place a dining table or a relaxation area.
- Prefer drawers over hinged shelves. It’s best if they are products with 100% extension - so you will have even the lowest tiers in constant access. Another nuance is the presence of delimiters that will help organize the space. If you saw in the photo the perfect order in the kitchen cabinets, you should know that delimiters successfully fulfill their function.
- Install or choose hinged shelves with elevators. This design will allow you to reach even the very top shelf, and the mechanisms of the elevators will make it possible to swap the lower and upper tiers. Such a modern cabinet design saves space.
- Use the kitchen area to the maximum and install additional open hinged shelves that are attached to stationary.
- Install cargo - a retractable design that will accommodate many small items - from spoons to cups. Such extendable sections can be installed in the space between the shelves. In the photo you could see the cargo, which is placed between the refrigerator and the cabinet.
Do not forget about simple but convenient rails and organizers that “collect” kitchen utensils in one place on the wall and free up space on the countertop.
