Features of the layout
Kitchens with an area of 15 square meters are rarely found in typical buildings, most often they are a feature of "Stalin-era" apartments, modern high-rise buildings or houses from the private sector. There are also cases when the owners expand the room on their own. Usually such large rooms are equipped with two windows or even a balcony. Consider some of the features and nuances that the owners may encounter when creating a kitchen design with an area of 15 sq. m.
- Particular attention must be paid to the light. Two windows always let in a lot of sun, which is important to emphasize and not to use curtains made of dark fabrics. It is also undesirable to hang curtains on the entire wall, while closing both windows. It is better to purchase 2 different curtains, and place a sideboard or shelves between the openings.

- We must not forget about heating. If you have expanded the kitchen yourself, in this case you need to install an additional radiator. With one battery in a kitchen of such an impressive area, it will be cool.

- If we talk about going out to the balcony, then it is also important not to mask it, but to allow the light to enter your kitchen. Recently, it has become popular to dismantle a concrete slab and install a panoramic window. It's really beautiful on a project, but it's important to think about security as well.

Also, in order to save space for the dining room, many people combine the kitchen with a balcony where they install a refrigerator.
- It is imperative to take care of good lighting. One chandelier is often not enough, so a huge number of people prefer installing several built-in lamps, which give a lot more light. This is especially true for a corner kitchen; it will not hurt to plan a straight line. Also, with the help of light, you can build space in a rectangular kitchen-living room.

How to zone?
There are quite a few options for the arrangement of furniture and interior items in a 15 square meter kitchen. One of the most popular is the method of arranging the kitchen set in a straight line, along the wall, and on the opposite side there is a table for eating. L-shaped planning is no less interesting. It is convenient because you have a lot of space left to organize the space of the dining area; you can purchase a huge kitchen table, next to which you can place a sofa.

As a result, there will be 2 zones: for cooking and for rest.
Also, many people prefer to zone the kitchen in a U-shaped way. This option is ideal for those who have a great variety of different utensils, because such headsets are equipped with all kinds of storage cabinets. If you don't have a lot of dishes, then you can turn to the U-shaped method only at the bottom of the headset, and install shelves on top, on which various kitchen utensils will look good.

According to experts, a set with a so-called island is not convenient for a 15 sq. m., it will most likely fit into the 20-meter dimensions. If you make an "island", then it should be small, however, in this case, it loses its multifunctionality. All the pros and cons of such a design should be calculated in advance. Headsets with a bar counter also take up enough space, however, it is she who plays the role of a dining area, therefore, you save space by considering the convenience of the room.

How to choose a color scheme?

How to choose furniture?
Of course, the choice of kitchen furniture should only be based on your taste and your wishes. The style you select determines the material used for the body and fronts of the headset.

Although furnishing the entire kitchen with natural wood furniture is an expensive pleasure.
Cabinet fronts can be glossy or matte. Glass doors also adorn the kitchen set, especially the one in the classic style. If we talk about the countertop for the work area, then the stone one will be more durable, however, and the wooden one will be able to justify itself in use. In any case, each material needs its own, special care, only then the interior will be able to please the eye for as long as possible.

Lighting options
At first it may seem that organizing the lighting of a 15 square meter kitchen is not so difficult, however, in this matter it is important to take into account some of the nuances. According to the designers, the light in the working and dining areas should have a different power. Wherever you cook, it is best to use brightly colored light fixtures mounted directly on top cabinets or directly above a countertop. Above the table, it is better to place lamps of calm and muffled power so that meals are held with comfort.
