How to equip a corner kitchen and what elements to use better

Is your kitchen too small?This is not a reason to despair: there are many ways to furnish the entire perimeter, including corners, in the most efficient way. Famous designers and technical specialists help us in our global research. The corner kitchen is the most common type of room. The interior of this type of kitchen is especially convenient for cooking, since the workspace is reduced in favor of functionality. And the corner arrangement of furniture and the variety of options for the seemingly most difficult element in design allow you to use every centimeter of the room to the maximum. In addition, the cost is reduced due to a smaller amount of materials and fittings.Nolte ManhattanNolteNolte ManhattanNolte High Wood Types of Solutionsdesign/appearance/layout There are four different design options. The first is a traditional corner kitchen (L-kitchen), an identical configuration of upper and lower cabinets, which are also used in the corner. You can combine a corner and a straight kitchen. With this arrangement, the lower cabinets will be combined with a straight line of upper cabinets or open elements located along one of the walls. The third option is the presence of a simultaneous transition in height of all storage systems. It is also possible to have a solution in which a high cabinet in the corner implies a transition to a straight line of lower and/or upper cabinets.Nolte Windsor LackNolteNolte KojeNolte Nova Lack Alexey Dergalin, Nolte KuchenCorner solutions are determined by the type of cabinets - lower or upper. All of them have the ability to be attached to a false panel of conventional storage systems. They can be with either hinged solid facades or with conventional shelves, with rotating semicircular baskets, with pull-out LeMans shelves and with pull-out shelves or drawers. Conventional ones are suitable for storage, special ones - under the sink. It is also possible to vary the corner overall size within wide limits. Special corner cabinets differ in size, but can have hinged diagonal and folding facades with a rotating mechanism or with an internal angle of 90 or 135 degrees, as well as special cabinets for sinks and hobs.Nolte Kuchen LuxNolte Kuchen ManhattanNolte Kuchen Head of Project DepartmentArtBaza design studio Veronika Kovaleva recommends paying special attention to the so-called "kitchen triangle". These are the three most important elements of the workspace: refrigerator, sink, stove. They should be located so that their order corresponds to the sequence of cooking. Veronika Kovaleva, ArtBaza: - This is the holy of holies of any kitchen. Especially when it comes to corner kitchens. Ideally, you should strive to ensure that the triangle is equilateral. Fortunately, the corner layout contributes to this. artbaza.ruAngles also come in different varieties - straight and beveled.The first option is more complex in terms of ergonomics and operation, since it is difficult to use the interior space 100%. For deep corner sections, roll-out, rotating or exhaust mechanisms are used. The beveled angle when opening the door guarantees full accessibility of the interior space. There is no need to use complex technical solutions, and there is much more space for cooking. But this type of placement does not look very relevant in a modern kitchen, but will suit, for example, a country style. One of the successful ideas would be to build a stove or a special corner hood into it. Veronika Kovaleva, ArtBaza: - The option with a beveled corner is very convenient. Visually, the kitchen looks much nicer than the acute-angled option. Usually, with this arrangement, a sink is placed in the corner, and on the sides of it there is a lot of convenient space for culinary creativity. artbaza.ru In addition to the L-shaped layout, it is also possibleU-shaped option. In this case, the configurations of the upper and lower kitchen elements can either match or differ. An accordion door for cabinets located at head level is the most convenient corner solution. Pull-out mechanisms are used for lower cabinets. Unfortunately, they are not compatible with the sink.Anastasia Muravyova, decorative designer:— This photo shows a kitchen with a U-shaped layout, the facades form a right angle. Very often, the kitchen has a common riser with an adjoining bathroom, so the corresponding communications are located in the corner of the kitchen, and it is logical to place the sink there. In this project, we located it in such a way that the approach to it was convenient, and in the corner itself there was a “wing”. The base under the sink in such cases is usually used to store detergents, garbage containers. You can install the so-called “rational angle” system. anastasia-muravyeva.name If the kitchen is large in area, there is no need to occupy the entire upper line with cabinets. The most interesting option is when the lower bases form a U- or L-shape, and the upper elements are located on the same line. The hood can be located separately. The same situation occurs if there is a window on one of the walls. Then there is no need for corner elements at the top of the kitchen, and the above applies only to the lower bases.Nolte LagoNolte White GlassNolte Asya Bondareva, interior designerCorner kitchens are used in most of my projects, so I know all the pros and cons of this arrangement. The advantage is that such a design allows you to make a continuous line of the countertop, thereby increasing the work surface. But this arrangement also has a disadvantage: difficult access to the contents of the corner cabinet. In order to avoid this, you need to choose the right fittings for the corner cabinet. This can be a pull-out corner that comes out of the corner section and allows you to see everything that is stored out of sight. Or a "carousel" system, rotating which you can always find the necessary item. Therefore, I fully support the corner arrangement. bondarevadesign.ruNolte Kuchen Thus, the corner kitchen— the most advantageous layout option due to its compactness, separation of work and dining areas, and versatility. This is the most common type of kitchen space, which also looks quite presentable. And there are a huge number of devices to make maximum use of all available space for the sake of comfort and versatility.
