Kitchen – one of the most popular rooms in the apartment, the center of gravity for all family. It not only the place where food, but also the place for having a snack, the dining room and sometimes even the living room is cooked. Therefore it is important that the household appliances and furniture located in kitchen corresponded to its functionality and provided necessary convenience of use, cosiness and comfort.
What planning of kitchen depends on
Regardless of the sizes of kitchen before choosing complete kitchen, you need to decide on that functional loading which will be born by this room. What optimum set of the furniture necessary for you depends on that, how many people in family when they eat in kitchen whether houses the children studying at school have dinner whether you prepare daily throughout the day or only in the evenings, after work.
Besides, decide what working surface is necessary to you in what order there will be tables where washing, the fridge, plate will be placed. Also what has to be in kitchen, except obligatory work table, cabinets and hinged shelves depends on it: dining or folding table, angular sofa or stools.
Having decided on that optimum set of furniture and household appliances which is necessary for your family, evaluate as far as the sizes of kitchen will allow you to place all this. If the kitchen is rather big on the area, particular problems will not be – all will be located necessary and still there will be place. When the area small, consider question of re-planning or combination of kitchen with the living room by demolition of not load bearing walls and partitions. In case re-planning is impossible, and all necessary set of furniture is not located, it is necessary to think over question as it is possible to use optimum available space.
In case of re-planning, it needs to be coordinated with the bodies exercising test and architectural supervision in your city.
Choice of complete kitchen
On the big kitchen when choosing complete kitchen you can be guided by exclusively own taste, and here for the small room it should be taken into account that dark furniture will not look in it and will visually make kitchen less. Choose light tree or plasticity of pastel tones, bright color contrast combinations in small kitchen also reduce space. In this case it is better to refuse also from tightly the closed facades of hinged cabinets and to prefer the glazed doors.
If kitchen very small, as much as possible use space between hinged cabinets and working surface, there it is possible to place holders for knives, hinged shelves, drying, supports for spices.
As for optimum placement, the option when all household appliances and floor cabinets are under one table-top is very convenient for limited spaces. As producers in most cases offer modular kitchens, study catalogs and choose on them that set of furniture which is necessary for you. Consider that the Italian furniture has discrete step of 15 cm on width, i.e. you can order the same table or cabinet 30, 45, 60, 35 cm wide, etc. At the most part of other European producers this step is equal 10, and here Scandinavians offer modular kitchen constructions of any width. At them one discrete step is equal to 1 cm therefore you can build in such set kitchen of any size in the most optimum way, it should not be done to order and its price will be such as it is specified in the catalog.
