Kitchen corners without a table: what are they and how to choose them?

Small apartment owners are often faced with the choice of an ergonomic kitchen corner that does not have a table. Finding one is even difficult, but it is possible, and it will be no worse in terms of a set of characteristics than a complete set with a table.

The area for placing the dining area is not always the size for the location of the table, but everyone wants to have a modern design, despite the small kitchen. An excellent way out is to take a closer look at the compact models of corners, in which the table is either immediately absent, or it can be removed without damage to the structure.

Minimalism is in vogue now, and the more compact the furniture, the better. The set without a table will fit even the smallest kitchen and will be used as a mini-pantry. Models, depending on the configuration, are of several types.

This sofa can be purchased separately or specially ordered.

In this case, chairs of the same design are attached to the sofa. Their quantity can be changed to order. Most often, there is a set of a sofa and two chairs to match.

An interesting and futuristic approach to welcoming guests. Kitchen sofa with a sleeping place inside, which can be pulled out when necessary.

• Storage possibility. An excellent way out if there is no pantry of its own or the kitchen set does not have enough compartments for storing dishes or other kitchen utensils. There are special boxes under the seats, they are not striking and are very spacious.

• Ease of parsing. Such a mobile corner can be easily disassembled, and you can do a rearrangement or general cleaning without any problems - it can always be easily moved, even by a fragile hostess, to clean the floor.

• Favorable compact sleeping place. If you have a transformable model, you can always host friends and relatives with an overnight stay without purchasing an extra bed.

• Space zoning. By placing the kitchen corner in a different place in the kitchen, except for the corner, you can divide the room into zones.

To get the perfect corner, you need to take into account the strength and practicality of the selected materials and the specifics of the kitchen. Of course, financial position also does not take the last place, because it is not always possible to afford expensive varieties, but this does not mean that the model will be worse in terms of its means. Just consider a few guidelines when choosing.

• Corner frame... If your budget is tight, purchase a plywood frame. It is durable and inexpensive. Fiberboard models are more expensive, but they contain special shavings that are more resistant to moisture and fumes in the kitchen.

• Model materials. Of course, the most common material is wood. Beech, pine, oak - they all justify the price with their durability. Many models are made of metal with upholstery, which is also not entirely cheap, but certainly durable.

• Upholstery... You can buy a corner either upholstered or not. For home comfort, the first options are more often chosen. Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the fabric used, its durability, soiling and fading in the sun will depend on this, and if you have pets, then the material must also be hypoallergenic. Pay attention to microfiber, velor, chenille and leather (eco-leather is better: it is more practical and hypoallergenic).

Your kitchen corner should not contrast with the rest of the furniture, but it is also not necessary to take it exactly the same color as the kitchen set. It is only important to take into account the general mood of the interior and try to choose a module from the same material as the existing kitchen items. For example, if the entire kitchen is made of carved wood, a school canteen-style metal corner would look out of place and cheap.

If you're looking for inexpensive options, don't ignore the upholstery materials. It should not have protruding threads or scuffs. The corner itself should be assembled without cracks and creases, no matter how cheap it is. Try to open / close drawers right in the store, pull out the sleeping place, if it is a transformer, check that nothing sticks or creaks.
