A standalone kitchen is designed to fit compact and complex spaces, bringing all the functionality of a kitchen to a small and limited footprint. For many clients, this comes in the form of a small flat or apartment that boasts an open plan living area with the need for practical kitchen appliances alongside a sofa and relaxation zone.
The only way to get around the limited floorplan is to get creative with the layout and how you construct the ideal kitchen – and that’s where professionally designed standalone kitchens really come into their own.

Standalone Kitchen Units in Small Flats and Apartments

The first and most obvious use for a professionally designed and created standalone kitchen is in a small apartment or a flat with a very small footprint.
It could be that you want to optimise the kitchen that’s already in place by adding storage and extra worktop space – it could be that you want to create a more open plan vibe by stripping back the structure of a contained kitchen and building all the appliances into one unit.
Whatever it is, a standalone mini kitchen unit combines prep space with a stove top, fridge/freezer, sink, and a storage cupboard. Extras can be added in the form of wall-mounted microwave cupboards and extractor fans, but the basic standalone unit perfectly balances practicality with design flair.

Outdoor Kitchen Areas

If you’re someone who loves to cook outside and serve meals al fresco, then there is no better way to balance the need for climate-controlled storage and hygienic prep areas than a standalone mini kitchen unit.
Typically crafted from stainless steel with the ability to add colour through the cabinet and storage doors and across the unit’s main body, outdoor mini kitchens are compact and contain everything you need to enhance your al fresco cooking. Many of the pre-build mini stand alone kitchen units available make excellent base units around which to centre your BBQ, pizza oven, and other equipment.

Enhancing an Office or Commercial Environment

A mini kitchen can effortlessly and efficiently provide employees, clients, and visitors to your office or commercial premises with somewhere to make a cup of tea or prepare their lunch when at work.
With a range of different facilities and appliances on offer, including microwaves, fridges, stove tops, and more, both the worktop and integrated features support everyday and regular use by teams of individuals.
And with mini kitchens boasting a standalone design that allows them to be integrated into your chosen location, it’s easy to fit the kitchen unit into a corner of your breakout room or open plan office.
Suffice to say, standalone kitchens boast a plethora of uses – both inside and out, domestic and commercial. To discuss your specific needs and requirements, the next step is to reach out to a local supplier and task them with the build of your standalone kitchen.
