Space-Saving Tips for Your Condo Kitchen

Is the kitchen too tight or too cramped for you? Here are some tips to save and maximize the space in your condo’s kitchen so you can make the most out of it.

Optimize your storage

Make the best of your kitchen space at Springleaf Modern by making use of the provided storage and getting creative with your walls. Invest in hooks to hang your cooking equipment, floating shelves, a pull-out pantry, nesting stools, and multi-function furniture like foldable tables which you can simply unfold when you are going to use it.

Select the right layout

Choose the appropriate layout for your kitchen space to maximize utilization of the area. An example of a layout is L-shaped which is ideal for corners and makes the space still feel open. One-wall styles simplify the design with appliances, equipment, and everything you need in a single wall. A Galley layout maximizes prep space and storage, while a peninsula rather than an island gives you extra workspace and the option to add seats without it feeling crowded.

Minimize and declutter

Declutter your space and cut back on things that haven’t been used for a long time or come in multiples. Only keep the items you really need and dispose or sell any unwanted and unused items in the kitchen. Make use of the system called one-in, one-out, where you get a new item and remove one as well to keep the balance.

Start organizing

Organize your things smartly like labelling and storing similar items you have in your kitchen as a group to get to them quicker and find them in one place. Clear containers and jars create uniformity while giving you a better view.

Invest in appliances that save space

You can invest in modern and compact appliances to save space and electricity in your condo kitchen. Go with a narrow-type refrigerator, small dishwasher, and multi-purpose appliances like a washer that also serves as a dryer, instead of buying 2 appliances that perform separate functions.
