Many studies assure that we are increasingly living in smaller apartments. So taking advantage of every corner of the house has become a challenge for all of us. Luckily, we have the help of ordering experts like the Ikea professionals, who year after year come up with new proposals to improve our well-being at home. Today we are going to focus on small kitchens, those in which taking advantage of every last millimeter is vital to have everything in order, well placed and, at the same time, have space left to cook.
Although it may seem impossible to you, it is not. There are many solutions that can make your life easier, even some for those more complicated challenges in which you can’t take advantage of the walls because they won’t let you or you don’t want to make holes. Don’t worry, it’s possible. Also accessories that will allow you to have products well placed and that you can find easily.
From El Comprador de La Vanguardia we have taken a look at the Ikea website to see which accessories will become our “saviors” to keep everything in its place in the kitchen. Take a place from where we thought there was no longer an option. In addition, you will not only achieve extra space, you will also give a more modern and current decorative touch to your small kitchen. Keep reading!
If you don’t have space in the kitchen, one of the parts that you can take advantage of to find extra storage are the walls. And for this, Ikea has several very good ideas. Like, for example, this 3 in 1 that will allow you to keep the entire sink area in order. Modern in style, at the top it has a shelf where you can put plants, glasses… whatever you need. In the center it has an area to drain clean utensils. And at the bottom, a rail where you can hang whatever you need: cups, a container in which to put the scouring pad, etc. It is inspired by restaurant kitchens. Measurements: width: 64 cm, depth: 32 cm and height: 80 cm.
A box helps much more to organize a house than one can imagine. In the end, we always have many small things that we would love to group together. For this, nothing better than a box. This wooden one from Ikea not only tidies up, but is aesthetically beautiful and will add a touch of warmth to your kitchen. Place utensils, cloths, spice jars… whatever you need! You will surely end up buying more than one. Measurements: depth: 32 cm, height: 15 cm and width: 24 cm.
One of the main problems that we may encounter if we are renting is that they do not allow us to make holes in certain parts of the house, such as in the kitchen tiles. If this is the case, don’t worry because Ikea has a good solution to take advantage of the wall without having to drill. You can use the Sunnersta kitchen organizers as a dish drainer, as a shelf and even to hang kitchenware. The coat rack is adjustable so that it better adapts to the measurements of your kitchen. Measurements: width: 45.7 cm, minimum height: 45 cm, maximum height: 65 cm.
Before we talked to you about a box, but they are also a widely used resource to organize baskets. Not only will it be a beautiful and stylish decorative element for your kitchen, but you will be able to store what you need, keep it organized and transport it or change its location depending on whether you need that space to cook. It will be easy to move thanks to the handles. Measurements: height: 23 cm, width: 27 cm, length: 42 cm.
This rail comes with five hooks and a container. For especially small kitchens, where every centimeter counts, perhaps the best option is something smaller, but equally useful. With a modern aesthetic, this proposal is inspired by restaurants and on the hooks you can hang utensils for cooking, cleaning… Whatever you need! In the container you can place scouring pads, dish soap or spices, oil or other cooking ingredients. It is made of stainless steel and has a length of 56 cm.
If you don’t know the Ikea Raskog cart, it’s because you don’t know the Swedish brand well, because it is one of their classics. It is a very versatile and aesthetically beautiful cart that you can use in any room of the house. But we will focus on the kitchen, because a cart in the kitchen allows you extra storage and, in addition, you can move it as needed. Specifically, this cart has a lot of space to organize boats, food, household items and, if you look closely, in one of the photos you can see that the cloth is hanging from a hook. Had you forgotten where to put the cloth? You already have the solution! Measurements: length: 35 cm, width: 45 cm, height: 78 cm.
Another way to take advantage of the space that Ikea proposes is this rotating tray that can be placed on other structures and shelves. Not only will you get a modern and current kitchen, but it is designed, for example, to put jars of spices near the fires for when you cook. The fact that it is rotatable makes it much easier for you to have what you need at hand at the moment. One more proposal to take advantage of every last millimeter of your kitchen. Measurements: height: 40 cm and diameter: 21 cm.
And finally, if you have a small kitchen but are lucky enough to have a piece of wall that you can use above the sink, make the most of it with this stainless steel dish drainer and organizer that combines with wood. It consists of 3 floors. At the top, two wooden shelves so you can store plates, bowls, trays… In the central part, another shelf, this time made of stainless steel with bars that can serve as a shelf or also as a dish drainer. In the lower part, there is the dish drainer on one side, and on the other bars with hooks that allow you to hang utensils. Measurements: width: 124 cm, depth: 32 cm and height: 80 cm.
