When planning any interior there is always main task which the designer, whether it be the professional or just the owner of the apartment who has conceived repair and change of situation seeks to solve. In case of the living room it can be beauty and cosiness, for the bathroom — gigiyenichnost and simplicity of leaving. If we speak about kitchen, then here the unconditional priority — convenience — is often complemented with the second, not less important — to cope with the shortage of the place. Apartments where the kitchen is really spacious, began to appear only in recent years, and many still live in five-storey apartment blocks with kitchens in 6-6.5 square meters. The solution of these two tasks at the same time will demand thorough planning of interior of this key room of any apartment.
The kitchen is, perhaps, the only thing in the apartment industrial premises. Therefore also design of kitchen is similar to creation of hi-tech workplace: anything superfluous, everything near at hand, ergonomically, conveniently and safely. As a rule, in kitchen two main zones are allocated: working and table, complemented with pass zone. Experts advise to equip kitchen so that the work area had the form of the triangle formed by the fridge, plate and sink. It is better to place these key objects not closely to each other, and to separate work tables. The area of work area should not be there will be quite enough big, 7 square meters, otherwise cooking will turn into exercise on relay race. Less than 4 meters this zone also cannot be, it will turn out too closely.
Take care of such important trifle as enough electrical outlets, it is desirable double. The modern kitchen is full of electric devices, and the confusion of wires of extenders here not only is inconvenient, but also is dangerous. Certainly, it is reasonable to place the dish and washing machine is closer to sink, exactly there pass water supply system pipes. If family big, think of installation double, or even threefold sink. Well and, of course, lighting — the most important element of comfortable kitchen activity. Optimum, if background lighting is added dot on the lower edge of hinged cabinets.
Concepts of planning of kitchen exists a little, and everyone allows to equip kitchen taking into account requirements of convenience and the available designer of the area. The kitchen placed to one line will occupy only one wall of the room. Such option is suitable for absolutely small rooms, and the work area will make 50% of total area of kitchen here. In this case comfortably it is impossible to place table zone — there will be no pass zone left. The folding or folding table will become rescue. If the room has the sufficient area, then such planning will allow to turn part it into the dining room or recreation area. The kitchen constructed to two lines along opposite walls — is convenient, practical and functional. The distance between lines should not be less than 1.2 meters. In this planning the table zone is also not provided. The L-shaped kitchens placed along two adjacent walls are popular. They form practical triangle, leaving enough place and for placement of dining table, and for spacious passes. The only case when such planning is impossible — the narrow extended room. If there is no need of through pass, the kitchen can give the U-shaped form which is very practical too, especially in the small room. The wide kitchen allows to make "island" or "peninsula" - additional working surface in the central part of the room.
