Kitchen in a Indianapolis apartment

Just because you're only renting a space doesn't mean your cooking space has to be anything short of extraordinary. With a few smart apartment kitchen ideas for your Indianapolis apartment, you can prepare your favorite dish with ease – regardless of the size of your cooking area. Impress your friends at your next gathering with your functional kitchen setup and unique style by using these simple tips.

Keep reading to find six easy ideas on how to transform your kitchen, no matter how ample your space is or your floor plan.

 

Take Stock Of Your Most Frequently Used Kitchen Equipment

Do you often mix meats and veggies in a slow-cooker and arrive home to a tasty dinner that's ready to eat? Have you not used the air fryer in over a month? Take stock of which utensils and appliances you use most often and put other items away on a cabinet shelf. Not only will this open up space in the kitchen, but you'll save time when cleaning.

 

An Island Makes Sense For Your Indianapolis Apartment Kitchen

If counter space is needed, adding an island to your kitchen will often create the versatility you need. Add even more adaptability to your kitchen layout by utilizing a rolling island. These handy surfaces can easily function as an extra table, serving space, or they can be stored out of the way when more room for guests is needed.

 

Hang Your Knives

One of the smartest apartment kitchen tips for your Indianapolis apartment is to ditch the oversized knife block for a wall-mounted magnetic knife strip. You will find that restaurant kitchens use them for their space-saving and convenience. Regardless of the size or location, a knife strip will create a contemporary feel to any kitchen. Just pay attention and ensure you install it out of reach of children!

 

Free Up Space with a Peg Board

When you need additional space, putting up a pegboard may be an effective solution. Pegboards can support enough weight to hang pots and pans or be used to line up your favorite mugs in a fun display. A mix of suspended plants next to your frequently-used kitchen equipment can allow you to stash your tools in plain sight. A pegboard adds functional style to any apartment kitchen in a distinct manner.

 

Double Your Sink As A Cutting Area

Sinks of all types can be used as a handy surface for any job. Get a sink cover for drying plates or use as a prep station. When you want to turn on the water, store the top back in a nearby cabinet. You can even place your current cutting board horizontally over your sink for a makeshift sink cover.
 

Save Space With Backless Stools
