If the kitchen is cozy, you want to spend time theremore time. Prepare a delicious lunch and eat it right there - slowly, in comfort. How to arrange a comfortable corner and what options are offered by furniture manufacturers, read in our article If there is no room for a separate table in the kitchen or you just do not want to break the single and integral image created by the set, the place for eating can be organized, for example, as part of the kitchen island. This is not quite an analogue of a bar counter - there is more useful space, you can easily install an additional sink nearby, everything you need is at hand. More and more often, this option is already provided by manufacturers, especially distinguished by this, where everything is used to being calculated in advance. Irina Zaitseva, interior designer: - Kitchen manufacturers now offer various interesting options for ready-made solutions with corners arranged on the kitchen island, where you can both eat and work on a laptop (or combine these two activities). Moreover, there are different height options: “bar” – 100–115 cm, which, in my opinion, can block the entire view of the kitchen itself, and “semi-bar” – 85–95 cm, more convenient not only for drinking cocktails, but also for having lunch.

Many would agree that a kitchen island— an extremely popular element that has taken a prominent place in . We value not only its isolation, but also its multifunctionality; it is a zone for both rest and work. A useful space that can be organized at your own discretion: as a place for eating, relaxing with a glass of wine, or a storage corner for additional household appliances. It is the possibility of choice, the availability of options that forms a truly exclusive kitchen that you will not want to leave.

A dining group that doesn't stand out from the crowdoverall kitchen design is a great way to draw attention to the . The dining area thus plays the role of a visual connecting element between the hob, for example, and the worktop.

Surface geometry can help with diningarea to both blend into the background and stand out. Make it slightly lower or higher than the adjacent tabletop. Think about the shape - square, rectangle, smooth lines and rounded corners? An important decision: what will you sit on. A bench, a sofa, high bar stools or simple chairs - both the overall style and the ergonomics of the space depend on them. Backless chairs, for example, can be pushed under the edge of the counter and hidden, but sitting on them for a long time, for example, working on a computer, is not very comfortable. A bench will be noticeable in the interior, but it will accommodate more guests at a dinner party.

Lighting also plays an important role, itcan create a cozy and intimate space in the evening in a circle of light, and disguise everything outside of it. When dining, you will not see the sink full of dishes and traces of the cooking process, but will be able to focus on the food. Another good way to replace a snack on the go with the feeling of relaxing in a chic restaurant is smooth surfaces. With them, all unnecessary and distracting attention can be easily hidden behind discreet facades.

So, is it worth choosing a ready-made solution forcreating a dining area? Of course, if you have room for it. The advantage is that everything that you have yet to think about is already taken into account here - color, material, shape, size. Take advantage of thoughtful design and be sure to use all the possibilities of the space. Ruslan Kirnichansky, architect, designer and design critic: - What to do if you have no space not only for an island, but for a dining area at all? My new apartment has a tiny kitchen - only 7 square meters, according to my calculations, it barely fits the equipment (refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, hob, oven, exhaust system, in addition, you also need storage space). Everything is very compact, but if I put a table in this kitchen, it will become really cramped. But I found a solution: there is a long window here, and my builders will install a countertop instead of a window sill, its depth will be about 50 cm, and it will be my "table". I'm waiting for the renovation to be completed soon so I can have breakfast there and look out the window. So I recommend finding hidden reserves, like in my case the window sill, and making it more functional. For small kitchens, you can also use folding tables that can be folded down when needed. fab-im.com
