Furnishing kitchen & room with sloped ceilings: tips & inspiration

The challenge of sloped ceilings: possibilities and ideas

4th floor, around 50 square meters, apartment with sloped ceilings: Mom, dad, and child live together in a tight space – creative planning is needed here. However, even in rooms with awkward angles, sufficient storage space can be created. Whether narrow passageways, niches, or rooms with sloped ceilings: Whoever approaches their planning cleverly can set up a cozy, functional, and personalized apartment with sloped ceilings using shelves, low wall cabinets, and various corner solutions.

Irregularly-shaped rooms with sloped ceilings offer a unique opportunity to unleash creativity in interior design. By carefully choosing colors and textures, even kitchens under sloped ceilings can appear inviting and cozy. By optimizing natural lighting, the space seems generally larger and more open. Ultimately, thoughtful room dividers or visual elements allow clear structuring of the room without emphasizing narrowness, resulting in a harmonious and functional outcome.

Planning a kitchen with sloped ceilings

Eating, cooking and playing together – so that mother, father and child have enough space for everything, every square meter should be carefully planned. An example of this is using the last 15 cm of kitchen planning with an end shelf unit. With reduced-depth cabinets, there remains enough room, even in tight passages. Nolte Küchen offers suitable solutions for this, whether illuminated handle recesses, wall cabinets with illuminated shelves, wall-mounted shelves with integrated lighting or lighting underneath the wall-mounted cabinet. Real storage-space solutions can also include base cabinets and various corner solutions such as corner cabinets with rotating carousel, cabinets with all-round visibility or base cabinet corners with extendable lifting columns, which create sufficient space for kitchen utensils and appliances.

Cleverly Designed Space Optimization

Every corner utilised: The kitchen layout in U-shape offers plenty of storage space.
Whether it's a large fridge-freezer combination or simply ample storage space: a full-height side cabinet offers plenty of room. The illuminated handle trim is another visual highlight.
Reduced-depth cabinets and shelves do not obstruct even narrow passageways. The lighting integrated into the recessed plinth area is a particularly eye-catching detail.
Even the last 15 cm are put to use here: A pull-out cabinet offers plenty of space e.g. for oil and vinegar bottles.
