Practical kitchens: 5 ideas to inspire you
The kitchen is no longer just a space to prepare delicious dishes and has become a truly creative and welcoming environment , where residents can enjoy the experience of cooking as a moment of relaxation, fun and even to share good times . For this reason, thinking about the decoration and arrangement of furniture and appliances is one of the easiest ways to achieve a "practical kitchen" model. Tips for making it more spacious and making the most of every corner are always welcome. Below, we have selected 5 practical kitchens that were created using simple items.

Having hooks from one end to the other was Cacau Ribeiro 's proposal for this practical kitchen model. The project was exhibited at CASACOR Ribeirão Preto 2019. This way, anyone who decides to venture into the culinary arts can count on the necessary accessories being available in a simple and visible way , that is, without having to rummage through drawers and take other instruments out of place.

Havingcarpentry as an ally to ensure practicality and better arrangement of furniture and appliances is a timeless and very accurate idea. In this project designed by Flavia Ranieri , from Estúdio da Longevidade, and exhibited at CASACOR São Paulo in 2018, the furniture was ideal for ensuring practicality in a space with reduced dimensions . The drawers incorporated into the modular unit and just a few centimeters from the sink help the resident when it comes to picking up utensils or even putting away dishes.
A practical and beautiful kitchen was the result of the project by architects Cris Araújo and Linda Martins exhibited at CASACOR Santa Catarina in 2018. Having shelves in the kitchen is a very functional solution for including essential everyday items, such as spices and condiments.

The modern and industrial look of Paola Ribeiro 's project forCASACOR São Paulo 2018 did not fail to include practical elements to ensure a more functional kitchen . The concept of shelves has been incorporated in an innovative way, at the bottom of the table, offering space for pans and condiments . In addition, the project also featured a shelf that follows the orientation of the door to accommodate dishes and baking trays. It is also a practical and easy way to find items quickly.
