1. Make good use of wall space to increase storage

Public housing kitchens are usually limited in size, so kitchen cabinets should be designed in a “bottom-up” manner to make full use of vertical space. The design of high cabinets and hanging cabinets can effectively increase the storage capacity, and the unified appearance can also avoid the sense of clutter. Many public housing tenants will put the refrigerator in the small corner between the kitchen and the door, and the custom locker can wrap the refrigerator and decorate the space of the porch.

2. Choose materials that are durable and easy to clean

The kitchen environment is easily affected by oil fumes and water stains, so the durability, oil resistance and easy cleaning of the kitchen cabinet material are very important. Moisture-proof panels, heat-resistant panels or quartz stone countertops are good choices that are durable and easy to care for.

3. The design is practicability oriented

The internal structure of the kitchen cabinet should consider versatility, such as adding adjustable partitions, drawer dividers and retractable storage racks to enhance storage flexibility. At the same time, electrical appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines can be embedded in the cabinet to make the space cleaner.

4. Choice of color and style

White, wood grain or light color design can make the small kitchen look more spacious and bright, combined with simple modern style, enhance the overall sense of space. Matte panels also help reduce fingerprint marks and keep the kitchen clean and beautiful.
