September 14, 2020

Kitchen in a Bloomington apartment

Just because you're only renting a space doesn't mean your apartment's kitchen has to be anything short of extraordinary. With just a few innovative apartment kitchen ideas for your Bloomington apartment, you will be able to prepare a delicious dinner in style – despite the size of your space. Dazzle your guests at your next gathering with your impeccable use of space and unique style by using these simple tips.

Keep reading to find six easy ideas on how to start spicing up your apartment's kitchen, no matter the size of your space or your apartment layout.

 

Consider Your Most Commonly Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you like to combine ingredients in a crock and arrive home to a fresh meal that's ready to eat? Have you not plugged in the air fryer in several weeks? Take stock of which appliances and cooking utensils you use most and store the rest away on a cabinet shelf. Not only will this open up space, but you'll have less to put away later.

 

An Island Makes Sense For Your Bloomington Apartment Kitchen

When counter space is limited, using an island in your kitchen will often create the extra room you want. You can add more flexibility to your kitchen layout by utilizing an island with wheels. These smart solutions will function as an extra table, serving space, or they can be rolled out of the way when extra floor space is required.

 

Hang Your Knives

One of the smartest apartment kitchen tips for your Bloomington apartment is to replace the bulky knife block for a magnetic, wall-attached knife strip. Many professional kitchens take advantage of them for their unique function. Regardless of the size or location, a knife strip will create a contemporary feel to any kitchen. Just make sure that you hang it where children can’t access!

 

Create More Space with a Peg Board

When you need some extra space, putting up a pegboard can be the perfect solution. Pegboards can support enough weight to hang pots and pans or be used to line up your favorite mugs in a fun display. A combination of suspended plants in company with your most-used kitchen equipment will let you hide your tools in plain sight. A pegboard can add both style and function to any apartment kitchen in a distinct manner.

 

Double Your Sink As A Prep Surface

Sinks of all types can be used as a handy surface for any job. Consider a sink cover for stacking plates or for use as a cutting board. When you need to use the sink, stash the top back in a convenient space. You can even put down your existing cutting board lengthwise on top of your sink for a makeshift sink cover.
 

Consider Using Backless Stools

Backless stools for your Bloomington apartment kitchen bar may be the perfect way to maximize your space without sacrificing either style or seating. Simply move them under the kitchen bar when you need more floor space.
