Homes with small kitchens fitted out with Santos furniture

Although the average size of homes has been getting smaller and smaller, the need for space in the kitchen has been increasing, whether it’s for cooking, storage or enjoying meals any time of the day. Santos designs have always been intended to make the most of the units, squeezing out every last inch of available space. The extensive range of modules and measurements developed by the brand make it possible to come up with the best combinations for every situation, giving rise to kitchens tailored to every project.

Santos also makes use of a system with predominantly horizontal lines which does away with doors in the lower part of the kitchen, promoting the use of full-extension, large-capacity drawers and double drawers. These are not only more ergonomic for users, but also provide a panoramic view of their contents, facilitate access to them, and can be customised and organised with different exclusive accessories.

What’s more, the kitchens designed by Santos come with 55 cm deep drawers as standard, which – when compared with the standard 50 cm deep drawers – provide 10.59% more usable space in each drawer and double drawer. Horizontal lines are likewise prominent in the upper part of the kitchen, with more accessible cabinets that make it possible to see what’s inside.

Santos kitchens also feature plenty of integration options aimed at ensuring that everything is kept tidy and out of sight – which is extremely important in small kitchens. Tall units, for example, are a good option for housing appliances and storage solutions in compact and organised spaces. Meanwhile, pocket door cabinets come with an auxiliary work area with worktop, lighting profile and plug sockets, making them perfect as a breakfast area or when using small appliances without having to move them around.
