If you have a small, restricted amount of area for your kitchen, you might be the perfect candidate for a free-standing kitchen. Free standing styles of kitchens are not permanently installed but stand alone on the floor of the kitchen. They can be moved around and rearranged. Freestanding styles suit tiny kitchens well because they have an open feeling to them and are moveable in the event you’d like to reorganize.
Most base free standing kitchen units stand on legs. This alone helps open up the space of a small kitchen. The base units can have doors like most cabinets, or drawers. Depending on what suits you better, you can mix and match cabinet types.
Upper Cabinets
How can you have upper cabinets with free standing cabinets, you might ask? The upper sections are usually wall mounted and can also be moved if necessary. A great idea for space challenged kitchens is to use a combination of closed upper cabinets with open shelving. Restricting the amount of closed shelving helps a small room appear larger while making good use of space.
Using a combination of free standing cabinets, islands, trolleys and shelves can help turn your small space into a wonderful useable area.
