Six Smart Apartment Kitchen Ideas For Carmel Renters

September 14, 2020

Kitchen in a Carmel apartment

Just because you're only renting a space doesn't mean your cooking space has to be anything short of gourmet. By using some innovative apartment kitchen ideas for your Carmel apartment, you can serve up your favorite dish with style – despite the size of your cooking area. Amaze your guests at your next feast with your intelligent kitchen design and fresh approach by using these simple tips.

Here are six easy ideas on how to transform your kitchen, no matter how ample your space is or your floor plan.

 

Take Note of Your Most Frequently Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you like to combine ingredients in a slow-cooker and return from work to a delicious dish that's perfectly cooked? Have you not turned on your blender in over a month? Think about which appliances and cooking utensils you use most often and put other items away in a cabinet or closet. Not only will this save you space in the kitchen, but you'll save time when cleaning.

 

Consider An Island For Your Carmel Apartment Kitchen

When counter space is needed, using an island in your kitchen will often create the extra prep area you need. Bring even more convenience to your apartment kitchen by purchasing a rolling island. These smart solutions easily function as a secondary table, staging area, or they can be moved away when more room for guests is needed.

 

Move Knives to the Wall

One of the smartest apartment kitchen suggestions for your Carmel apartment is to replace the clunky knife block for a magnetic, wall-attached knife strip. Many professional kitchens take advantage of them for their unique function. Regardless of the length or location, a knife strip will add a modern flair to any cooking space. Just be careful to place it out of reach of children!

 

Free Up Space with a Peg Board

Wherever you need additional space, hanging a pegboard may be an effective solution. Pegboards can bear enough weight to hang pots and pans or be used to line up your favorite mugs in a playful display. A combination of suspended plants in company with your frequently-used utensils allows you to hide your tools in a clever way. A pegboard adds functionality and appeal to any apartment kitchen in a distinct manner.

 

Double Your Sink As A Cutting Area

Sinks of all types can be used as an extra area for any purpose. You can buy a sink cover for stacking plates or for use as a cutting board. When you need your sink back, store the top back in a storage area. You can even place your regular cutting board lengthwise over the top of your sink for a suitable sink cover.
 

Consider Using Backless Stools

Backless counter stools for your Carmel apartment kitchen bar are a smart way to save space without sacrificing either style or seating. Gently slide them underneath the bar counter when they aren’t needed.
