How to Renovate Like a Pro: Make the Most with Affordable Kitchen Units for Sale
Is your kitchen more than just a place for cooking? Do you enjoy spending hours socialising while preparing dinner? The kitchen, even if small, can easily be the best spot in the house for all kinds of activities.
For instance, having a small breakfast nook can help to chase away the blues when having to prepare a quick meal at five in the morning. It can even help you save time and effort because you don’t need to set a large table and clean it afterwards. Of course, if in a bachelor or retirement unit, there may not be enough space for a large table. In this instance, every possible way to save space without compromising on functionality is a bonus.
When you decide on the layout, pay attention to functionality to ensure your happiness in the long run. A stove and sink as part of our kitchen units for sale can maximise space if you live in an apartment, granny flat, or one of the affordable government housing units.
Tips to Assist You in the Process
Aesthetics and functionality are equally important when it comes to the design of the kitchen. With our stove and sink units for sale, you can attain an aesthetically pleasing, yet, highly functional kitchen on a budget and in a small space. We offer affordable, modern units for sale to fit cosy spaces.
Therefore, making use of stunning, but functional kitchen units are of the utmost importance. Take, for example, our stove and sink units for sale. The units come in two gorgeous tones, including mahogany or white melamine, fitted with a two-shelved cupboard, one shelf being adjustable. Measuring only 100 by 60 cm, these lovely sets don’t take up much floor space either.
With a variety of kitchen units for sale at affordable prices, you’re sure to find a piece suited to your specific needs. With pricing already in your favour, let’s move on to inspirational ideas.
Helpful Tips for Creating that Classy Kitchen You Desire:
These nine tips are sure to be a hit for any kitchen:
- Wider pathways cause less friction.
- If space allows, fit an island once you have decided on the purpose.
- Plan recycling properly.
- Invest in multi-plugs.
- Maximise storage space.
- Get the lights right to create perfect ambience.
- Remember to add a good ventilation system.
- Hide the dustbin in an easily accessible spot.
- Add workspace.
- The Direction of the Flow
Try to make walkways a minimum of 92-cm wide so that anyone, big or small can easily fit through. This will also make a big difference if you have to move new furniture in or out. The areas for cooking should have even wider paths for comfort.
If at all possible, you should avoid placing the stove in a spot where others might walk by frequently. This is particularly true with little ones or pets around. You don’t want hot oil spilling because of someone bumping into your legs. Think of appliances that family members might still use while you’re busy preparing the food. Place those items within easy reach for use without the devices being in your way.
With the compact design of our kitchen units for sale at low prices, you can easily fit a stove and sink unit in a small area and have enough space available to add a small corner table and cupboards for storage.
- Islands or Breakfast Nooks
If ever there is a feature that gets used for almost everything, then it is a kitchen island. Some like to chop on it; others enjoy baking. Many use it to double up as workspace and a dining area. If your flat or home is exceptionally cosy, consider the kitchen island as a space-saving rather than space-filling design. It can become the work area, a place where kids can make their own sandwiches and the area where you can put an appliance.
- Support the Green Movement
With recycling becoming more popular each year, it is almost like a taboo not to be part of the movement. Keeping the environment clean and healthy is an act that benefits everyone, animals, plants, and humans alike. Thus, we all try our best to contribute to this, but sometimes fail to do so due to poor recycling methods. If you want to be eco-friendly or just store some used plastic and newspapers for crafts, you should make it easy for yourself. Allocate a cupboard in the kitchen for this, and place a few containers with labels to separate your materials from each other. Then you can find what you’re looking for with ease.
Even if working with limited space as may be the case in a granny or bachelor flat, government house or student flat, you can make enough space for the recycle bin. Simply do so by installing one of our compact kitchen sink and stove units. These are for sale at prices that allow for bulk installation at retirement or townhouse complexes and government subsidised homes.
- Add a Multi-Plug to Save Space
Multi-plugs can come in handy when you want to switch on more than one appliance at a time and have limited power to connect sockets. If you are afraid of getting the outlets wet because of the nature of a kitchen, you can always hide them in cupboards for safety. This will also make it easier to repaint when required.
- Organise Creatively
When you think about a neat house, what do you picture? Items all over, stacked on tables, boxes and crates in every corner? Certainly not. A kitchen without enough storage will never be chic because you’ll always have way too many objects lying around. A good way to sort this problem is by shopping for combination units for sale. These sometimes offer additional packing areas. Our sink, cupboard, and stove units take up less space and offer more storage area.
Don’t forget about that empty spot on top of your fridge. There are many ways to add storage without compromising on counter or equipment space. Speaking of fridges, our stove, sink, and fridge unit is a perfect example of maximising the functionality of a small kitchen. The unit comes with a single cupboard and the small fridge space. You can thus have the important luxuries without such taking up too much space.
- Is That Green or Yellow Powder?
Consider picking a brighter globe for the kitchen. This will enable you to show off more of the detail in the design. Seeing clearly while handling sharp objects is imperative and can save you a lot of pain. If you are not sure that the ambience will be right with a brighter light, you can always opt for the warm-tone energy-saving bulbs.
- Fresh Air Helps
No one ever burns the stew on purpose, but it does happen from time to time. That smell when you open the oven, and smoke fills the room is just terrible. Imagine something similar happening and all you have is a tiny window that doesn’t even open completely.
We sometimes don’t have much of a say when it comes to windows and doors, but you can always improve the ventilation with a ceiling or stand-based fan to help with ventilation. Don’t throw out your equipment manuals either, as knowing how the units work, just might be what prevents a disaster.
- Some Skeletons Are Better Left in the Closet
Another good tip for less of a stench is by storing the dustbin in a pull-out cupboard. This way, there is a smaller chance for rotten food becoming an invite for rodents and other pests. You’ll be saving on bug spray and cash by not having to purchase a fancy bin to match the rest of your kitchen. Remember to place it where it won’t be a hassle to take out the trash. As an alternative for a smaller home, have a large bin with a heavy lid just outside the door rather than inside. If possible, place it under the roof to prolong the lifespan of the bin.
- Where Can I Put That?
Lastly, but most importantly, don’t compromise on the workspace. Our units for sale that include the sink and stove sets already save space. This makes it possible to add counter-top areas, even in a small space. You can never have enough unused flat surfaces to work on. After all, that is where you do all the prep work,and most of your appliances take up permanent residence. Having to clear off the whole counter each time you need to start with a different ingredient can take forever. Thus making use of our smaller multi-purpose units for sale to increase space can make all the difference.
