Kitchens with sliding doors for furnishing the living area

Kitchens with sliding doors make this important room of the house functional and aesthetically pleasing. They are perfect not only for those who need to furnish a small flat, but also for those who want to keep their rooms tidy by concealing the kitchen. The various models available on the market are also able to respond to different aesthetic tastes and furnishing needs in line with the rest of the house. They represent the right solution for those who have little space available, but also an alternative furnishing option compared to the classic, traditional layouts available on the market.

The foldaway kitchen types

Like all other kitchen models, kitchens with retractable doors are available in different types to meet different needs and personal tastes. The main ones among these are those with

• doors recessed into the sides
• folding doors
• flap lids
• shutters that can also be motorised.

Recently, more and more sought after and appreciated on the international market, for furnishing very small rooms, are also the compact ones capable of occupying in some cases just 1 square metre. These pop-up kitchens provide everything one may need in a given environment, without giving up those small conveniences that facilitate the preparation of multiple recipes by the most demanding cooks.

On the other hand, the designer foldaway kitchens, with their elegant and timeless appeal, are the perfect combination of versatility and aesthetics. These models, characterised by attention to detail and the choice of materials and finishes, are true modern masterpieces of practicality and elegance. A dynamic and flexible solution, capable of adapting to any need and desire.

Finally, you could also opt for a made-to-measure cabinet, so as to have an even more customised piece of furniture to suit your particular needs.

The advantages of kitchens with sliding doors

Choosing one of the different types of kitchens with retractable doors has several advantages. As mentioned above, as well as being a valid solution for those living in a studio or small flat, it is also a good solution for furnishing an open space where the kitchen is integrated with the living room. In fact, the kitchen with sliding doors acts as an alternative partition to the bookcase, island or wall.

In particular, kitchens with retractable doors not only improve the aesthetics of the room, as they make it look cleaner and tidier, they also make it seem larger. It is no coincidence that kitchens with retractable doors are the perfect solution for furnishing a minimal and essential flat, as its presence would not disturb the overall appearance of the flat, but also for mini-apartments and Bed&Breakfasts to make the space more functional for guests.

Not to be forgotten is the functionality that follows from a kitchen with concealed doors. In fact, in addition to the cooker, a refrigerator, oven and dishwasher can also be integrated inside. An all-in-one solution that is practical and features everything that can be useful in the kitchen.

Practicality in a single fodaway cabinet

In spite of the small size and special construction of kitchens with concealed doors, they are extremely functional and in some cases, even more so than an ordinary kitchen. As mentioned above, they are equipped with all conveniences, including electrical appliances and a gas or induction hob.

How much do kitchens with sliding doors cost?

As with any other piece of furniture, the price of foldaway kitchens varies depending on the brand that produces them. On average, standard models start at €1,000 to €2,000 and go up depending on the accessories and appliances that the chosen kitchen with retractable doors contains inside. In addition, designer kitchens with retractable doors cost more and can even cost more than €10,000 because they are made of the highest quality materials and by expert designers who do not forget the importance of aesthetics and design in the creation of striking, elegant and equally practical models.

Why choose a kitchen with sliding doors?

Installing a kitchen with sliding doors in your flat, as mentioned above, solves several problems. In a small home, it avoids the clutter of a classic linear kitchen, characterised by wall units and large appliances. On the other hand, it is, to say the least, perfect for open-plan rooms, whether large or small, as it offers the possibility of having everything in perfect order and always within reach.

From hinged door systems to sliding door systems, which save even more space, concealed kitchen models fit a modern and sophisticated design and transform the living area as if it were a true piece of furniture, essential and with minimalist features. In addition, they are characterised by surprising attention to detail and impeccable organisation of space. Discover ArredareModerno’s other blog tips for luxury furnishing.
