We use the window sill
If you improve the window opening and extend the tabletop, the window sill can become an additional workplace and dining table. The new usable space can be easily used to store a coffee maker or blender. If there is an old “cold cabinet” under the window, it is worth converting it into a narrow washing machine.
It is important to provide all sockets in advance so as not to spoil the interior with extension cords.
Space above kitchen cabinets
The top of the wall cabinets will serve as additional storage space for necessary small items that are not required daily. To keep things from collecting dust and looking neat, put them in boxes or baskets with lids.
Avoid transparent containers - they will not add order.
Folding chairs
They come to the rescue where there is no room for ordinary chairs. Compact, lightweight, made of wood or plastic and metal - when folded, they take up minimal space and can even be hung on the wall.
A good alternative is stools that stack on top of each other.
Apron for a minimalist kitchen
An apron for a minimalist kitchen is especially important because light paint or wallpaper gets dirty most easily. Lay it out of tiles of the same shade as the rest of the walls. Use a small mosaic of several adjacent tones with rare bright inserts. Pay attention to tempered glass or acrylic for modern minimalism or hi-tech.

Magnetic tape
A great idea for storing knives and small jars! Magnetic tape can be located in any corner of your kitchen, even the most inconvenient at first glance.
You will no longer lose a single jar you need - you just need to equip the bottom of each of them with a magnet and they will be securely fastened. You can store medicines or even boxes of lollipops in the same way.
Features of minimalism
This style is very simple in its essence, but at the same time significantly different in its manifestations. Several distinct trends stand out: Japanese, futuristic, environmental, Scandinavian, contemporary, high-tech. But basically the lines between styles are very blurred, and even more so when original designer interiors are in fashion.
The common properties of all minimalist movements are the simplicity of forms and materials. Clear geometry always reigns here, there is no decor or complex textures, but there is maximum light. With all the rigor, there is no need for classical symmetry or pronounced centers. But working with space is relevant: zoning, unification, division.
Looking into the refrigerator
Do you live alone or don't have the habit of stocking up on food for the week? It is worth replacing the usual bulky refrigerator with a built-in or even a single-chamber model. Such products fit into a cabinet and are masked by facades - for a compact kitchen this is an excellent option that frees up a lot of space.
If necessary, the freezer can be placed outside the kitchen, as it is needed much less frequently than a refrigerator.
Save on burners
Sometimes we don't notice that two burners on the hob or stove remain unused. If you have an electric kettle and a multicooker, the panel often remains half empty, but there is not enough space on the countertop.
To increase the work surface, you can purchase a presentable and practical two-burner hob with a width of only 30 cm. It can be installed in two positions.
Railings
Convenient rails can be used to hang oven mitts, utensils that you use most often, special shelves for spices, and cutting boards. Rails are fixed not only on the walls, but also on the doors and sides of kitchen cabinets. With their help, it is easy to free up space in cabinets and drawers, and the necessary items will always be at hand.
