To make design of kitchen independently – difficult task. It includes not only the choice of color and style for the updated kitchen. But, first of all, ergonomic planning of space, selection of materials and choice of lighting.
Planning
Any project should be begun with creation of the plan. Draw it on paper with exact marking and the sizes of all parameters (walls, doors, windows). Define where you will have work area and where lunch. Just to do it when the area of kitchen sufficient – more than 10 sq.m. And with standard areas of "five-storey apartment blocks" and "brezhnevka" – 6-9 sq.m. it is necessary to fight for each centimeter. Therefore at once look what niches, corners and windowsill it is possible to use functionally indoors.
Planning work area, do not forget about so-called working triangle: washing, work table, storage of products. To another to you has to interfere nothing with movement from one point of triangle and through it there should not pass the line of the movement of people in the apartment. Then work in kitchen will be comfortable.
Lighting of the working area – too very important point in the design project. It is the best of all to create additional illumination of working space by means of LED lamps or dot lamps. The lunch zone has to be separately from the worker. Here the main thing is to create comfort and convenience. Enough seats for all family, successful approach to zone during giving of dishes, the good, but not arresting attention lighting.
Equipment for kitchen
In advance make the list of all household appliances and the equipment which you want to see in new kitchen. The set can be bought ready, especially if you have big areas. Or to order on special design, adjusting to your metric area and specific requests. The second option is especially favorable to small-sized apartments. The built-in washing machine and the fridge can make space more integral and more spacious. The lunch zone in the small-sized apartment can be replaced with bar counter. Especially, if you are young family. Other option – folding table. There can be it not the most comfortable decision, but for small kitchens sometimes it happens the only opportunity to have dinner in kitchen all family.
Finishing materials
Material selection – one more cornerstone of the design project. Today the construction market offers such set of different options of finishing that it becomes harder and harder to choose. For sexual covering the tile is ideal for work area and high-class laminate for other premises of kitchen. It is possible to use and linoleum – this material remains still is demanded thanks to the universality, convenience of laying and reasonable prices. The choice of kitchen aprons can just nonplus: ceramic tile, mosaic, plastic panels, artificial stone, tempered glass, MDF and so forth. It is necessary only to choose what will suit you most of all on quality, design and the price.
Style of kitchen
The style direction of your kitchen is final stage of the project. The most important – that the kitchen on the design corresponded to the common decision of the apartment. If your interior is standard and does not bear in itself any style line, then and you should not register kitchen in the pronounced design direction. Massive and intricate headsets under classics or modernist style perfectly are suitable for big and wide kitchens. And here for small-sized rooms it is the best of all to choose furniture and accessories in style of minimalism or hi-tech with the smooth planes and simple lines not to overload already small space.
