September 14, 2020

Kitchen in a Greenwood apartment

You deserve better. Just because you're leasing doesn't mean your apartment's kitchen has to be anything short of gourmet. With a few smart apartment kitchen ideas for your Greenwood apartment, you will be able to create a delicious dinner with style – regardless of the size of your space. Impress your friends at your next feast with your functional kitchen setup and fresh approach by using these simple tips.

Explore six easy tips on how to transform your kitchen, no matter the size of your space or your apartment floor plan.

 

Consider Your Most Regularly Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you like to combine ingredients in a crockpot and return from work to a tasty dinner that's perfectly cooked? Have you not turned on your toaster in the past few months? You should consider which utensils and appliances you use most often and put the remaining items away on a cabinet shelf. Not only will this create more room on your counters, but you'll save time when cleaning.

 

An Island Is Great For Your Greenwood Apartment Kitchen

When counter space is needed, adding an island to your kitchen may offer the extra room you want. You can add more convenience to your kitchen layout by getting an island with wheels. These handy surfaces can easily function as a serving station, extra table, or they can be rolled out of the way when you need more floor space.

 

Hang Your Knives

One of the smartest apartment kitchen ideas for your Greenwood apartment is to trade in the bulky knife block for a wall-mounted magnetic knife strip. Many commercial kitchens take advantage of them for their unique function. Regardless of the size or location, a knife strip will bring a distinctive touch to any cooking space. Just be careful to install it where children can’t access!

 

Free Up Space with a Peg Board

Wherever you need additional space, putting up a pegboard can be an ideal solution. Pegboards can support enough weight to hang heavier pans or be used to show off your mug collection in a unique display. A blend of hanging plants alongside your most-used utensils can allow you to stash your tools in a clever way. A pegboard offers functionality and appeal to any apartment kitchen in a distinct manner.

 

Use Your Sink As A Prepping Area

Any size sink can be used as a handy surface for any purpose. You can buy a sink cover for stacking plates or use it as a secondary cutting board. When you want to turn on the water, stash the top back in a nearby cabinet. You can even put down your regular cutting board lengthwise over your sink for a suitable sink cover.
 

Consider Using Backless Stools

Backless stools for your Greenwood apartment kitchen bar are a fantastic way to maximize your space without sacrificing style or much-needed seating. Gently slide them under the bar counter when you need more floor space.
