5 Little-Known Kitchen Design Tips for More Working Space

Kitchen design

A lot happens in the kitchen, from a rushed breakfast before you head out early in the morning to family dinners and hosting friends for a cup of tea. You should enjoy this space whether you are cleaning, cooking, eating, or entertaining in your kitchen. Your kitchen design needs to be stylish, modern, and functional.

These little-known and easy-to-implement kitchen design ideas will help achieve a beautiful and functional kitchen.

1.  Eliminate Wasted Motion

Think about the most important tasks and appliances when doing your kitchen design or kitchen remodeling. You’ll save time and energy by placing items you need to complete tasks together.

For example, it is a good idea to place dishware near the dishwasher for quick unloading.

2.  Plan Landing Space Near Appliances


Landing space around appliances allows you to finish local tasks conveniently. Allow at least 20 inches of countertop on either side of your oven, cooktop, microwave, and fridge  in your kitchen design. Landing space is essential for placing hot items and prepping ingredients.


3.  Create Clever Storage

Clear your countertops to create more working space. Use hooks, rods, and magnets to organize and store everything within reach. This kitchen design idea stores items neatly in spaces that may otherwise go unused.

Maximize corner storage spaces by installing multiple tiered carousels. You can store frequently used items within reach and tuck away rarely used ones on the lower shelves.


4.  Innovative Kitchen Lighting


Adequate kitchen lighting helps you find items quickly, but you will always find yourself fumbling inside a drawer. Install lighting strips with motion sensors in kitchen drawers and cabinet doors, and you’ll never struggle to read container labels again.A good and functional kitchen design includes these simple extra touches.


5.  Update Your Hardware

Kitchen hardware is one of the most critical items to improve. With the current speed of technological innovations, it is important to keep your appliances up to date. Use energy-efficient, fast, and multifunctional appliances to declutter your kitchen and improve efficiency.

Improving your cookware and “faucet-ware” can also elevate your kitchen to the next level. Reduce cooking time, dishwashing time, and water use. Consider improving cabinet handles and knobs to maintain easy access to kitchen items.
