Hey everyone

I’m planning to remodel my kitchen in a few months. I don’t have much space, about 10m² (108 sq ft), but I want to include a dishwasher, oven, microwave, and so on. The room measures 2 x 5 meters (6.6 x 16.4 feet), with the entrance at one end—not in the middle.

Thanks

If you have a full wall, you can stack appliances. There are ovens available today that don’t have to be placed on the floor anymore. This is also better for your back since you don’t have to bend down all the time.

I can only recommend placing the oven above the dishwasher, the coffee machine on top of the microwave, the freezer compartment below the refrigerator, and so on. It saves space...

Hello,
take a look at the display kitchens in furniture stores; there you can get plenty of ideas. Most kitchens are designed similarly to yours. Nowadays, hardly anyone has a kitchen large enough to use space wastefully.

Take a look at an IKEA kitchen; they are designed to maximize storage in a small space. I don’t like them, but maybe you will.

Even though I’m not a fan of Ikea, I have to admit that their kitchens are practical. I would place the appliances inside the room and keep the countertop near the door, so you can put things down and take them outside directly, plus it doesn’t feel as cramped when you enter.
