If you decide to make the kitchen functional, stylish and cozy, then, first of all, you should choose several options for interiors and then customize the design to suit your own needs. For example, you decided that there should be a sofa in the kitchen. First, you need to note all the pros and cons of its presence in this room. The pros are as follows:

• stylish look of the kitchen;
• convenience of location;
• extra bed for guests.

The following disadvantages are worth noting:

• smells;
• contamination of the upholstery;
• if the kitchen area is small, then the presence of a sofa will only aggravate the situation with the storage of utensils and the placement of the table.

If desired, all the minuses can be turned into pluses, for this you need to choose the right upholstery of the sofa, its design and size. A comfortable two-seater small sofa can fit in a kitchen with an area of ​​10 sq. m. A large area will allow you to put 1-2 sofas and conveniently arrange the rest of the furniture and appliances.

The range of sofas today is simply huge.In addition, some firms make custom-made furniture according to the sketches and wishes of the clients. That's why there should be no problems with choosing a sofa, the main thing is to decide in advance what the interior will be in terms of style and content. The sofa can be angular, classic (straight), folding, without armrests, on legs or with storage boxes.

It is worth remembering that for the kitchen, you need to choose compact upholstered furniture so that the room is not cluttered... You can put both a classic sofa and a corner sofa in a wide rectangular kitchen. Its size will depend on the remaining free space after installing the headset. In addition, you need to keep in mind the size of the sofa so that it is convenient to bring it into the kitchen.

The corner sofa has a lot of advantages. It usually has a hidden drawer for storing linen or blankets, as well as a large sleeping area. Some corner sofas can be additionally expanded ("book" or roll-out mechanism). If the area of ​​the kitchen allows, then you can put just such furniture.

As for the design and appearance of furniture, the modern stylish version looks like this:

• straight two- or three-seater sofa laconic shape with fabric upholstery (suede textiles, matting, high-quality dense fabric) on legs; it can be with or without armrests;
• angled or straight leather small sofas in a Scandinavian restrained style without wooden inserts and carved details;
• corner options without unnecessary decor, voluminous pillows and tables.

The choice of where to install the sofa depends on the area of ​​the room and the kitchen set. First you need to put the headset, then, evaluating the remaining area, choose a sofa for the dining group.

• Usually, with a standard rectangular kitchen layout, the sofa is placed on the side of the window along a long wall. A table and several chairs are placed next to it. At the same time, the set can be straight or angular - it depends on the area of ​​the room and the wishes of the owners.
• In a long narrow rectangular kitchen, the design of the furnishings may look like this: a kitchen set is installed on the sides along the walls, it is appropriate to place a small sofa near a small wall (under a window or against the opposite wall). Nearby is a kitchen table and a few stools or small chairs.
• In a large kitchen, combined with a living room, you can place a large corner sofa, an "island", and a suite. In such an interior, a significant part of the room is occupied by the working area: the kitchen set can be installed with the letter L, in the middle there is a small island with a table top and a bar stool, on the opposite side there is a large comfortable sofa and a dining group.
• You can also fit a sofa into a small room, but this will be a special kitchen version with a massive bottom and drawers inside for storing all kinds of utensils. As a rule, such furniture is sold complete with a table and stools. Such a "corner" can be placed next to the refrigerator, on the contrary - a kitchen set. True, such furniture is quite heavy and takes up a lot of space.
• If your kitchen layout includes a glazed balcony, then you can either connect the balcony to the kitchen and win a few squares, or leave everything as it is and set the sofa so that it does not block the path to the balcony. For example, on the side along the wall, next to the table and chairs, along the other wall of the headset.
• You can also put a sofa near the wall opposite the balcony. This arrangement will save space, but it all depends on each specific case.

A beautiful kitchen looks cozy, you want to spend more time in it, cook more refined and delicious dishes. Coziness and style in the room are created by cute little things, dishes, bright and interesting accents. It is worth considering what ideas designers are proposing to us today.

• Hang 1-2 open shelves and put beautiful stylish vases, decorative milk jugs, large candles on them. The color of such dishes can be classic white (milky) or to match the curtains, towels, or just contrasting. Kettles and pots can also be bright, presented in the same style.
• You can also stylishly decorate the interior using framed posters and paintings. Lighting and textiles also play an important role. Curtains in color and print should match the style. If the kitchen is made in the Provence style, then the curtains can be in a small flower. If the kitchen is in Scandinavian style, then choose textiles with a solid color or with a clear geometric pattern.
