To optimize the available space, in a small two-room apartment in Milan, we have created this minimal, discreet, bright and elegant kitchen.<\/p>\n

ALL LIVING ROOM<\/h3>\n

As we wrote in this article dedicated to the Kitchen Snack Table<\/a>, in contemporary kitchens the living area and the kitchen increasingly merge into a single open space<\/strong>.
There are no more partitions even at the entrance to the apartments, the door opens and everything we can have in a Living area is revealed in front of us.
So the kitchen, dining area and living room become a single room, just like in this article dedicated to a functional kitchen<\/a>.
To give harmony to this triptych, the kitchen must therefore lose its “operative” spirit by hiding ladles, pots and groceries and becoming a more discreet element<\/strong>, which is revealed only when necessary.
Much more storage space<\/strong> and doors closed from view<\/strong>, while maintaining everything needed to cook, serve and enjoy food.<\/p>\n

\u200bPHYSIOMY OF A MINIMAL KITCHEN<\/h3>\n

This kitchen, designed by Artecasa<\/a> studio, optimize the most of the available space.
It develops in the niche<\/strong> of the side wall at the entrance with an equipped part<\/strong> and a front island<\/strong> that acts as an additional storage space and snack table for quick meals.
What can therefore be seen from the entrance are two horizontal gray stone floors, which develop parallel.<\/p>\n

In the equipped part in the niche there are all the appliances needed<\/strong> in a minimal kitchen: a refrigerator column, a dishwasher with a two-bowl sink, a hob with an oven and a tall microwave.
In the island, lots of storage space, drawers for cutlery, pots and crockery and the top that extends towards the living area becoming a snack top to accommodate at least 3 diners.<\/p>\n

\nThree ceiling lights descend punctually on the Kitchen Snack Table, the backlit wall units remain at the service of the kitchen while a track with adjustable spotlights illuminates the relaxation area.
\nThe colors<\/strong> are light<\/strong> and glow in the light from the large windows at the back of the room.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.13.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cucina_prosp2.jpg” alt=”minimal kitchen lateral” title_text=”minimal kitchen lateral” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.13.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

On the ground a natural oak parquet that matches well with the gray veined stone chosen for the countertops and the back of the kitchen and the light-colored furniture.
Here another minimal Milanese kitchen with similar combinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
