Six Effective 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 kitchen has to be anything short of extraordinary. With a few smart apartment kitchen ideas for your Carmel apartment, you can prepare a delicious dinner with ease – regardless of the size of your kitchen. Impress your guests at your next gathering with your intelligent kitchen design and unique style by using these simple tips.

Here are six easy ideas on how to start spicing up your kitchen area, no matter how big the space is or your floor plan.

 

Take Note of Your Most Frequently Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you love to throw some ingredients in a slow-cooker and come home to a delicious dish that's hot and ready? Have you not used your blender in over a month? You should consider which utensils and appliances you use regularly and store the rest away in a cabinet or closet. Not only will this save you space on your counters, but you'll save on cleaning time.

 

An Island Is Great For Your Carmel Apartment Kitchen

When counter space is at a premium, adding an island to your kitchen will often create the extra prep area you need. Add even more flexibility to your apartment kitchen by utilizing an island with wheels. These smart solutions will function as a serving station, extra table, or they can be stored out of the way when more room for guests is needed.

 

Move Knives to the Wall

One of the best space-saving apartment kitchen ideas for your Carmel apartment is to ditch the clunky knife block for a wall-mounted magnetic knife strip. You will find that commercial kitchens utilize them for their ability to save counter space. Regardless of the length or location, a knife strip will create a contemporary feel to any kitchen. Just pay attention and ensure you place it where children can’t reach!

 

Free Up Space with a Peg Board

Wherever you need some extra space, putting up a pegboard may be an ideal solution. Pegboards will support enough weight to hold heavier pans or be used to line up your favorite mugs in a playful display. A mix of suspended plants alongside your most-used cooking instruments can allow you to hide your tools without stowing them in cabinets. A pegboard can add functional style to any apartment kitchen in spades.

 

Use Your Sink As A Cutting Area

Sinks of any size can double as a much-needed space for any job. You can buy a sink cover for drying plates or use as a prep station. When you need your sink back, store the top back in a storage area. You can even put down your regular cutting board lengthwise over your sink for a suitable sink cover.
 

Save Space With Backless Stools

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