Getting Creative with Small Kitchen

 

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.
