Kitchens under sloping ceilings require careful planning to make optimum use of the available space without compromising on the desired finish. We show you how to overcome challenges and find just the right solutions for you.
Planning tips for kitchens in the attic
#Tip 1: Make clever use of angles
Systematic storage
Sloping ceilings are often seen as an obstruction to elegant living room or kitchen design, but they can also give you plenty of scope. Minimalist kitchen designs work perfectly in attic spaces. Kitchens without wall units are on trend and their low-key look is particularly suited to open living spaces.
This kind of planning is made possible by clever storage solutions in the base units. Sophisticated pull-outs and carousel solutions mean that there are hardly any constraints, even in smaller kitchens.
Cleverly organised interior drawers are also great in small kitchens.
Especially where there’s not much room overhead, carousel solutions come into their own: they ensure that pots and pans are perfectly stowed away but always close at hand.
And precious worktops for preparation, storage or the sink blend in as if by magic.
Kitchens under sloping ceilings adopt these minimalist planning ideas and show how important functional solutions are.
#Tip 2: Matching features for the living area
Choose features that work in unison
Tall units are tricky to install in some attic flats; however, a range of features can help to skilfully include the sloping areas in the planning.

Shelves, support panel elements and recess cladding not only look great – they also make full use of the available space. This means that even without tall units, the kitchen makes full use of the rooms' height, creating a warm, homely atmosphere.
Open elements and well-designed lighting make the sloping roof even more inviting.
#Tip 3: L-shaped kitchens or kitchen islands
More space to cook in
In smaller rooms under the roof, skilfully shaped kitchens help make efficient use of the available space.
An L-shaped kitchen makes perfect use of two walls while opening up the room to the dining or living area.
Where there’s room to spare, a kitchen island may make sense – it will provide additional storage, shorten distances and give the room a modern look.

#Tip 4: Tailored solutions trump compromise
Under a sloping roof, standard kitchen plans soon reach their limits. In this case, it’s worth looking at creative tailored solutions: units with an angled cut, made-to-measure shelves and corner pull-outs make the most of the space without leaving any storage space unused or having to forego work surfaces. This means that you don’t need to compromise when planning and will still be rewarded with a bespoke kitchen full of functional storage space.

#Tip 5: Technology that adapts to sloping ceilings
Smart technology that simplifies planning and creates real added value.
It’s even worth thinking beyond classic solutions when choosing kitchen appliances. Instead of extractor hoods, modern downdraft extractors are well worth considering. Without an extractor hanging over the kitchen units to draw attention, the room automatically feels bigger and more open. What’s more, hobs with a built-in extractor are a flexible option when planning your kitchen – even under sloping ceilings.
Discover contemporary kitchen appliances that fit perfectly under a sloping roof – functional, elegant and ideally suited to your everyday needs.
Embrace the angles
A kitchen under a sloping ceiling is not a drawback but an opportunity. From large kitchen-cum-living rooms with a kitchen island to compact L-shaped solutions, thoughtful planning, creativity and an eye for detail help you create a unique kitchen that will soon become the hub of everyday life – perfectly tailored to your preferences and the available space.
