Nifty Kitchen Design for Your Condo


So you’ve just purchased your new condo in Alexandria, VA, just outside of the nation’s capital. A condo is almost the same as an apartment, but you actually own the property rather than just renting every month. This gives you a lot more agency to rebuild and remodel your condo to your liking. And what better way is there to get started than with a brand new, updated kitchen design? Although many Alexandria, VA condo complexes are on the newer side, kitchens go in and out of style about once every decade. Now might be a great time to liven up your condo kitchen design. Unfortunately, most condos have limited space to use. But don’t worry, there are a lot of practical ways to create fulfilling and exciting small kitchens! Here are a few pieces of curated kitchen design perfect for your Alexandria, VA condo.

Just because you live in an Alexandria, VA condo with not a whole lot of space doesn’t mean you can’t have a great kitchen design.

Tear Down the Walls for Kitchen Design

If your complex allows it, consider opening up the available kitchen space by tearing down any unnecessary walls or half walls. Many years ago, the kitchen was intended to be a hidden room that’s the only purpose was to use for cooking. Dining was done elsewhere. In a condo, there’s really no reason to have any walls taking up valuable space, especially since most homeowners don’t use specific dining rooms anymore. Have your kitchen become a spot not only for culinary creation but also for a fun conversation! Popular trends in the last few years indicate that a quality kitchen design can make your home seem more inviting and friendly.

Use Floor to Ceiling Storage

On the walls that you do still have in your kitchen design, consider adding cabinetry that is wall to the floor. This not only looks nice, but it also allows for the most amount of storage possible. That way, you only need to leave out the most attractive cooking utensils to show off and put Grandma’s tried-and-true iron skillet away only for when you need it.

Integrate the Pantry into the Kitchen Design

As mentioned earlier, space is a commodity in any Alexandria, VA condo. A good suggestion is to custom build a pantry directly into the kitchen area. This can be done using clever cabinet work by a professional cabinet installer. Request a doored-cabinet to be made with shelves that are just the right height for bottles and cans, and make sure to build it away from any light sources since that can accelerate food spoilage.Then, use the intended pantry closet for other things, like kitchen cleaning supplies or extra pots and pans.
