Six Smart Apartment Kitchen Ideas For Carmel Renters

September 14, 2020

Kitchen in a Carmel apartment

You deserve better. Just because you're only renting a space doesn't mean your cooking space has to be anything short of extraordinary. With just a few innovative apartment kitchen ideas for your Carmel apartment, you will be able to create your favorite dish with ease – despite the size of your space. Dazzle your guests at your next gathering with your functional kitchen setup and unique style by using just a few simple tips.

Here are six easy ideas on how to freshen up your kitchen area, no matter the size of your space or your floor plan.

 

Consider Your Most Regularly Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you like to combine ingredients in a crock and return from work to a delicious dish that's hot and ready? Have you not used your blender in several weeks? Take stock of which utensils and appliances you use most and put the remaining items away in a cabinet or closet. Not only will this open up space on your counters, but you'll have less to put away later.

 

Consider An Island For Your Carmel Apartment Kitchen

When counter space is needed, using an island in your kitchen may offer the versatility you need. Bring even more adaptability to your kitchen layout by utilizing a movable island. These handy surfaces will double as a serving station, extra table, or they can be moved away when extra floor space is required.

 

Save Space with a Knife Strip

One of the best space-saving apartment kitchen ideas for your Carmel apartment is to ditch the oversized knife block for a wall-mounted magnetic knife strip. Many commercial kitchens take advantage of them for their unique function. No matter the size or location, a knife strip will bring a distinctive touch to any cooking space. Just pay attention and ensure you place it where children can’t access!

 

Create More Space with a Peg Board

When you need more space, putting up a pegboard may be an ideal solution. Pegboards can support enough weight to hold heavier pans or be used to line up your favorite mugs in a fun display. A combination of suspended plants in company with your frequently-used utensils will let you stash your tools in a clever way. A pegboard adds functional style to any apartment kitchen in a distinct manner.

 

Use Your Sink As A Cutting Area

Sinks of all types can be used as a much-needed space for any need. Consider a sink cover for drying plates or use it as a secondary cutting board. When you need your sink back, stash the top back in a storage area. You can even place your regular cutting board horizontally over the top of your sink for a makeshift sink cover.
 

Save Space With Backless Stools

Convenient backless counter stools for your Carmel apartment kitchen bar are a smart way to maximize your space without sacrificing style or much-needed seating. Simply move them under the bar counter when you need more floor space.
