Six Smart Apartment Kitchen Ideas For Westfield Renters

September 14, 2020

Kitchen in a Westfield apartment

The fact that you're only renting a space doesn't mean your kitchen has to be anything short of extraordinary. With a few smart apartment kitchen ideas for your Westfield apartment, you will be ready to create a delicious dinner with ease – regardless of the size of your kitchen. Dazzle your guests at your next gathering with your functional kitchen setup and fresh approach by using these simple tips.

Here are six helpful hints on how to start spicing up your kitchen, no matter how big the space is or your apartment layout.

 

Take Note of Your Most Commonly Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you love to throw some ingredients in a slow-cooker and arrive home to a tasty dinner that's ready to eat? Have you not plugged in the air fryer in over a month? Think about which utensils and appliances 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.

 

Consider An Island For Your Westfield Apartment Kitchen

When counter space is at a premium, using an island in your kitchen will offer the versatility you need. Bring even more flexibility to your apartment kitchen by utilizing a rolling island. These popular upgrades can easily function as a secondary table, staging area, or they can be stored out of the way when more room for guests is needed.

 

Save Space with a Knife Strip

One of the smartest apartment kitchen suggestions for your Westfield apartment is to ditch the bulky knife block for a magnetic, wall-attached knife strip. Many professional kitchens use them for their space-saving and convenience. No matter the size or location, a knife strip will add a modern flair to any kitchen. Just make sure that you hang it out of reach of children!

 

Add A Peg Board To Free Up Space

Wherever you need additional space, installing a pegboard may be an effective solution. Pegboards can bear enough weight to attach pots and pans or be used to show off your mug collection in a playful display. A mix of hanging plants alongside your most-used utensils can allow you to hide your tools in plain sight. A pegboard can add functionality and appeal to any apartment kitchen in a distinct manner.

 

Double Your Sink As A Cutting Area

Any size sink can be used as an extra area for any job. Get a sink cover for drying plates or for use as a cutting board. When you want to turn on the water, place the top back in a convenient space. You can even situate your regular cutting board horizontally on top of your sink for an instant sink cover.
 

Consider Using Backless Stools

Backless stools for your Westfield apartment kitchen bar may be the perfect way to conserve valuable space without sacrificing style or much-needed seating. Then tuck them entirely under the bar counter when you need more floor space.
