Most
often, having a Brisbane small kitchen design is a necessity for the simple reason that it is
dictated by the available space you have.
However, a Brisbane small kitchen design can be a luxury of sorts because you certainly
have a unique but functional addition to a home.
You
can also count the fact that being bigger is not necessarily better. This is
especially true with regards to expenditures and in direct correlation to the
planned size of your kitchen.
Counting
all factors on equal footing, the Brisbane small kitchen design definitely will cost less, will
use fewer materials and can be completed faster and sooner.
Many advantages
There
are so many distinct advantages that small kitchens have over the larger
kitchens. After discovering these, some people think the size of their kitchen
might be a blessing in disguise.
From
a design point of view, these smaller spaces can have more efficient designs,
and have better ergonomics.
Ergonomics
For
instance, a tighter working triangle makes for a more ergonomically correct and
efficient workspace. In your main workstation in a small kitchen, the other key
work stations are accessible by simply turning around.
There
will be no more need to walk 10 feet or more to get what you want. If what you
want is more, you need to walk some more. (Multiply the number of times you
need to walk around to get everything in one place to work on.)
Lower materials cost
/ Practical DIY
In
a small kitchen, the total costs for the building materials used are
considerably lower compared to costs in big kitchens. The main reason is that
the materials used are considerably less.
Countertops
are shorter, the flooring area is much smaller with fewer materials used, and
expensive areas like tiled backsplashes, there will certainly be fewer tiles
used.
With
a small kitchen, the DIY option is more practical with a small kitchen.
Completing the remodeling of your kitchen, for instance, is faster if you are
doing the work yourself.
Affordable high-end
materials
If
you have been eyeing that artisanal tile, that premium quartz countertops or
that expensive stone flooring, maybe you can now afford them. The materials
needed for a small kitchen is definitely lesser.
Since
you will use only half (perhaps less) amount of materials, your expenses is
also cut by such because the cost of most materials depends on size.
Design
In
terms of design, you have fewer options with the small kitchen, but it can turn
out good in another context. Hindered by the limited layout and floor plan options,
you can now concentrate on the selection of materials you will use.
With
it, you may then turn your attention to that wished-for extensive counter and
cabinet configurations.
Another
consideration is the fact that since you had less space for the kitchen, there
is now more space for the living room, or dining room, or the family room. You
may even have new rooms (perhaps an office) which were not possible with a
large kitchen.
By
maximizing the functionality of the space, there will be less unused dead space.
You can get very creative in maximizing every available space.
