Space Saving Solutions For A Small Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home. It's a place where everyone comes together after a busy day to cook, eat delicious food and bond. However, for many homeowners and city dwellers too many cooks in the kitchen can be an issue for those with limited counter space and small prep areas. This is why making the most of every square inch is crucial.
The experts at Blanco, world leader in kitchen technology, have some advice on how to make the best of any small kitchen without sacrificing function or style:
Choose multipurpose products
For homeowners who don't have the luxury of a widespread counter, products that do double duty can be a smart way to save space and increase efficiency in your kitchen. Blanco's Precis W/ Drainboard Silgranit sink includes a grid tray and offers an optional cutting board that slides over the sink or drainer board allowing for a distinctly functional work space. The grid tray acts as a multifunctional sink accessory that can hold hot pots, pans and dishes not only on the sink surface but also on the kitchen counter, and can even double as a trivet on a dining table. The Blanco Precis collection is made of Blanco Silgranit – Canada's leading coloured sink material that offers exceptional strength, durability and innovative designs.
Think about smart installation
Products that combine style and functionality are the ultimate way to make smart use of your kitchen. With its crisp angular design, durable uniquely shaped work surface, and integrated stainless steel grid, the Blanco Precis W/ Drainboard sink offers the perfect way to free up space on your counter and capitalize on every possible inch. It also features a compact, practical, single-bowl design that is suitable for small kitchens. It can be installed as a topmount or as an undermount so you have the option to conceal the edges of the sink and achieve an attractive minimalist look that's easy to clean − the ideal way to reclaim important workspace on your countertops.
Don't sacrifice style
The biggest misconception that people have when renovating a small space is thinking that they can't incorporate style. In fact, just the opposite is true. Colour can be the ultimate way to add individuality by making either a bold or subtle statement. The Blanco Precis W/ Drainboard sink is available in six Silgranit finishes, such as anthracite, cinder, café, truffle, white and the latest trendy colour, metallic gray, to suit any décor personality. Furthermore, Blanco Silgranit sinks can be colour- matched with selected Blanco faucets for a unified look in the kitchen.
Contain Clutter
One of the greatest culprits in the kitchen for taking up space is the clutter that builds up on work surfaces. Try trendy organizational space savers like mesh baskets, colanders or trays to group things together but keep them out of the way while you're working. They can even act as a decorative approach to help your kitchen function better, like having a soap dispenser matching your faucet or magnetic sink caddy for storing sponges.
