Oz Girisken an architect; mentions that flush cabinetry and similar coloured bench-tops creates a much larger, open feel in a small space. The greatest benefit of building a small space from scratch is being able to harbour natural light and flood it into the most used space of any small home \u2013 The kitchen. No matter the space you have to work with, carefully planned out kitchens can still make them feel very usable. Galley kitchens can create ample bench seating and work well in tighter spaces<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/sydney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/galley-kitchen.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12277 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/sydney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/galley-kitchen-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/sydney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/galley-kitchen-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/sydney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/galley-kitchen-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/sydney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/galley-kitchen-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/sydney\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/galley-kitchen.jpg 1139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>The Studio<br \/>\n<\/strong>Most people are unaware that they can build a studio in their backyard without council contributions and they can position it closer to their rear fence. These \u2018studio\u2019s can only be 36sqm in size. However, they are allowed to harbour a wet-bar, a small kitchenette so-to-speak with enough bench space to prepare meals and snacks.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of \u2018work from home\u2019 spaces popping up everywhere, there is still a need to prepare meals away from the main house. Just because space is limited it doesn\u2019t mean functionality needs to be &#8211; home studio\u2019s have boomed over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Defining your entrance way and \u201cmost used\u201d space is the best starting point when it comes to designing a small kitchen. It is important to consider the obvious fact that we use the entrance\/exit and in most cases just one major space in any home. If it happens to be a lounge or desk that is most used during the day the kitchen should be planned in an integrated way to function as the \u201chub\u201d that ties everything together.<\/p>\n<p>With special thought given to where the refrigerator is and how much bench space is needed for a small area is vital. For instance; many people don\u2019t realise that placing a fridge at the end of a galley kitchen or in tight nook will become frustrating to use over time. Being a well-used appliance, it should always be easy to access and take as little steps to access as possible.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of small kitchens can function a lot better with careful planning from the very beginning. With careful consideration of how a space will be used years down the track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the lockdowns, there has been a surge in backyard studios and granny flats across Sydney.
