Kitchens are where we keep some of the most important home appliances, like white goods, ovens, and hobs. However, with so many crucial appliances being found in the kitchen, it can be really difficult to organise it all, especially when working with a small kitchen space. However, just because you have a small kitchen does not mean that you have to miss out on having some of the best kitchen equipment around.

At Reliant, we have a number of years of expertise in the world of kitchen appliances, so allow us to take you through the very best of small kitchen appliances!

What Can You Do If You Have A Small Kitchen?

If your kitchen is much smaller than average, it can be frustrating to try to find space for all of the most essential appliances while ensuring there’s space left for you! In order to make the most of the space, you will need to opt for some smaller kitchen equipment.

While smaller appliances may seem initially less useful, you can rest assured that there are a number of great fully-equipped kitchen appliances across the market that come in a more compact form.

If you’re trying to save space within your kitchen, then you can opt for some smaller versions of some of the most essential appliances. Don’t worry, because they’re not lacking in the power or efficiency that you might normally expect!

Kitchen Appliances

Integrated Appliances

If you have the budget available for it, then opting for integrated appliances can be a great way to save massive amounts of space in your kitchen. Put simply, integrated appliances are those that are actually built into the walls, appearing flush against them. This not only helps to keep bulky appliances from taking up space but also creates a very modern look in your kitchen.

Integrated appliances can also be discreetly built into an existing set of cabinets, to create a uniform look across your kitchen.

Integrated appliances can cost quite a pretty penny, and may be slightly more difficult to fix, should issues occur, but they are a fantastic way to maximise space.

Washer Dryers

A washing machine is one of the most crucial appliances to have in the kitchen, but many people prefer to pair them alongside separate tumble dryers.

If you are working with limited space, but you want to make the most of a washing machine and a tumble dryer, then we strongly recommend going for a washer dryer, which includes the best of both appliances, all in one convenient machine!

Air Fryers

Air fryers have become all the rage in recent years, and it’s not difficult to see why. Not only are they an awesome health-conscious alternative to a deep-fat fryer, but they are also incredibly compact, making them a great investment for those with smaller kitchen spaces.

If you only have a small oven in your kitchen, then an air fryer can also make for a perfect supplemental appliance. If you want to cook up a massive feast, you can use both your oven and air fryer at the same time. Cooking in the air fryer is incredibly easy, and you can have immense meals cooked up in no time. Part of what has helped to make air fryers so popular is that they can be used to cook a massive number of varied dishes, making it a truly versatile piece of kit to have handy.

When you’re done cooking, cleaning up an air fryer takes next to no time, and you can simply store it away until you need to use it again!

Under Counter Fridges

When many of us think of fridges and freezers, we tend to think of tall units that take up large amounts of kitchen space. Luckily if you’re short on the kitchen real estate that a fridge might take up, then you can always opt for the extremely useful under counter fridge.

Positioned, obviously, right beneath your counter, these convenient fridges make up what they lack in height with what they boast in capacity. Here at Reliant, many of our under-counter fridges boast immensely deep storage space that allows you to make use of every inch. With multiple adjustable shelves, and even storage within the doors, our under-counter fridges can help you to keep your food fresh, without cluttering your kitchen.

Making use of the space directly under your kitchen counters can be a great way to maximise your space, and remove clutter from your countertops. Underfloor fridges are incredibly convenient and efficient, with great storage space despite their compact size.

Microwaves

If you want compact kitchen appliances that are quick and easy to use, then you cannot go wrong with a microwave. Microwaves vary massively with regard to size, so at Reliant, you can easily choose the perfect microwave for your kitchen space.

Microwaves are also incredibly easy to install and can rest discreetly atop your kitchen counter. If counter space is lacking, you can also easily have a microwave integrated into an existing set of cabinets, creating a subtle display that is easy to access whenever you need.

Boiling Water Taps

Boiling water is almost a necessity in the average household. How else are you supposed to have your morning cuppa without it? Unfortunately, household kettles can take up quite a fair amount of kitchen counter space, making them a source of constant frustration in smaller kitchens.

With a boiling water tap, you can cut out the middleman, and get access to boiling hot water whenever you need it, right from your own tap! Not only can these help to save you precious countertop space, but also help you to save a lot of money in the long run. The energy usage from a boiling water tap is far less than a conventional kettle!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Do With A Gap In My Kitchen?

If there’s an awkward gap within your kitchen, such as an empty wall, or an unused bit of floor space, then we recommend filling it up with some decorative elements that can help to bring the space together. Why not put up a shelf, with all of your favourite cookbooks and recipes stacked up, for easy access?

How Can I Make My Kitchen Less Boring?

There are tons of things that you can do to improve your kitchen space! Try adding some colour, with a splash of paint, or with some unique tiles. Playing around with colour can be a great way to totally change the mood of a kitchen space. For example, lighter colours can make your kitchen feel more open!

How Do You Revive a Tired Kitchen?

A great way to give your kitchen a new lease on life is to update the various appliances, to ensure that they are working efficiently. You might also want to redecorate, by adding a splash of paint, or totally updating your cupboards to a new design or colour! These can really bring new life to a tired old space.

What Makes a Kitchen Look Cheap?

A great way to keep your kitchen from looking cheap is to pick appliances that match, and that have similar designs. If you can’t find matching appliances, then you can always install new cabinets or panels that can hide your appliances when not in use! Even without spending much money, you can improve the perceived value of your kitchen space.
