The ideal compact kitchen is an island of cozinessand functionality, a simultaneous combination of laconism and style. It takes into account all the details of the interior, all the curves and literally every centimeter. Here, each thing has its own place in numerous drawers or shelves, a neat sink is adjacent to the stove, a small work table and a refrigerator. And if everything is planned correctly, then there is even a dining table! Turning your small kitchen into a cozy and comfortable place is not so difficult. You can contact custom furniture assemblers and they, having studied all the features of the room and taking into account your habits, will offer you the ideal option. At the same time, larger companies offer ready-made sets designed for large kitchens.
Headset Tips
Choose only the most modern accessories
Today manufacturers produce the mostvarious mechanisms that allow you to use the free space of your kitchen cabinets as efficiently as possible. Thanks to numerous drawers, shelves, baskets and containers, each item will have its own place.
Engage walls by hanging shelves and rails on them
Thanks to this, your work area will always remain free of unnecessary dishes, and all things will always be at hand.
Forget cabinets with swinging doors
Choose a kitchen set with sliding, folding or lifting doors, they take up significantly less space, they can be fixed in a position convenient for you, and they do not interfere.
Choose not only a roomy, but also "accommodated" table
When assembled, the so-called transforming table can fit even in the smallest kitchen, and when disassembled, it can “seat” a large number of people.
Use lighting fixtures built into the furniture.
This will not only visually expand the space, but will also allow you to divide the kitchen into several zones.
Headset placement methods
From the point of view of practicality and functionality, the following types of kitchen shapes can be distinguished:
- angular (L-shaped) shape;
- straight (linear) form;
- U-shaped.
Corner layout of kitchen unitsis the most popular among owners of small spaces. Its main advantage is its compactness. It does not take up much space and allows you to place quite a lot of different modules inside. The dining and work areas are usually located at opposite ends, making cooking and eating more convenient.
Linear kitchen shapes are usually chosenpeople who value simplicity and conciseness, as well as owners of fairly narrow rooms that are not suitable for corner shapes. In this case, the entire set is placed along one wall, which creates free space for a dining table.
If you only need a kitchen for cookingfood and washing dishes, and you prefer to eat in the living room, then a good solution may be to choose a U-shaped form of placement of the headset. This is quite a practical solution: there are three work surfaces at once, which you can use at your own discretion.
Little about design
When creating a small kitchen design,we recommend sticking to the main task - to lighten the interior and visually increase the space. To do this, professional designers advise following the following simple rules:
Pick furniture in light or neutral colors
Calm colors will visually push the boundaries, and the headset will not look light and practical.
Do not buy furniture in “flashy” colors. They attract unnecessary attention and significantly narrow the room.
Pay close attention to transparent furniture.
She looks weightless and very impressive.
Do not place built-in appliances too low or high.
Best at waist level.
