Of the disadvantages of solid wood furniture, we highlight:

• increased requirements for the quality characteristics of the wood used;
• thoroughness in the choice of style and design elements.

A standard range of kitchen furniture does not always make it possible to choose exactly what the buyer wants. In these cases, it is convenient to opt for modular furniture. Modules allow you to optimally fill the space of a room of any size and configuration, taking into account personal wishes.

Modular headset designs are a set of furniture elements (cabinets, shelves, countertops, frames for built-in appliances, etc.). Such elements make it possible not only to combine, making up a convenient modular system, but also to successfully supplement or replace failed elements.

Modular furniture designs have a number of advantages.

1. Possibility of creating optimal options for small kitchens ("Khrushchev").
2. Easy to assemble and disassemble. The modules are easily assembled and assembled independently.
3. Versatility... Easy replacement of one module with another or their relocation.
4. Functionality... You can choose any types and number of modules, select their overall parameters and design features, combine modules as you wish.

Popular types of modular kitchens are:

• single row;
• double row;
• corner.

Single row headsets installed along the wall in one row, they are perfectly built into small kitchens, allowing you to optimally arrange the kitchen space. The length of such kitchens is no more than three meters.

Double row are used for large kitchens, and the modules can be located along parallel walls, and near one wall or in the center of the room. Optimal zoning of the kitchen space makes the cooking process more convenient and easy.

Corner Kitchen options are more suitable for spacious rooms and come in two types: U-shaped and L-shaped, and are more suitable for spacious kitchens. Corner modules are spacious.

Natural solid kitchens are made from many types of trees (cherry, walnut, larch, alder, oak, etc.) and each of them has its own unique pattern, structure and properties. At the same time, rare species of wood are also used (tiglio, tulipye - tulip tree, anegri and others).

Ash has a special structure, freshness and energy., furniture from which is durable.Furniture made of this material is usually characterized by simple and smooth lines of facades, devoid of decorativeness.

The embodiment of stability, well-being, reliability and comfort are solid oak kitchens. The variety of colors and high strength qualities give these products a special solemnity and elegance. Solid oak furniture does not undergo deformation, perfectly tolerates changes in humidity, and is perfect for most interiors.

Beech is a common material for kitchen furniture. Beech furniture is strong and durable, well tinted in any color for individual orders. The material has a fine structure and exquisite color shades that bring a special comfort to the room. The latest technologies make it possible to purchase a beech set of an unusual smoky color.

An ideal kitchen option for true lovers of comfort and classic styles will be a set made of alder. This furniture is characterized by a restrained style in accessories and fittings, and the lack of decor and pretentiousness in details suggests its use in classic versions.

Pine headsets are popular for the cheapness of the material and its excellent characteristics. By releasing special phytoncides into the space, pine heals the microclimate in the room, strengthening the body's immunity. The strength characteristics of the material are excellent, since only mature trees about 100 years old are used in the production. Pine is hypoallergenic and aesthetic.

Birch products are durable, easy to maintain, and have a long service life. Birch furniture is harmoniously combined with built-in appliances, and the use of good fittings and glazing of facades make these products extremely sophisticated.

The basis for a successful and attractive kitchen design is the most harmonious combination of furniture elements, decor with the features of finishing the surfaces of the room. Interior elements should be combined with each other both in style and in color spectrum.

Determination of color solutions is the most relevant aspect in the design of kitchen interiors. Color has the ability to change the perception of a room's space, to organize special accents and to hide certain problems. Color solutions should be in place and harmoniously combined. Choosing the desired color spectrum, you can be guided by the rules of a harmonious combination of colors and shades.

In this context, wood can change color after being coated with special compounds. At the same time, certain types of wood change color slightly, others - to a large extent.

The variety of color combinations of different types of wood is endless. This is due to the significant number of tree species, differences in the growth conditions of trees in certain climatic conditions, as well as the uniqueness of the microclimate of each forest.

It is for these reasons that it is possible to choose almost any color of wood products, ranging from white, light to deep dark, to choose any shade from a red tone. Even gray wood is used in practice.

In addition to choosing the color of a particular wood, it is important to take into account the texture of its surface, as well as the existing features of the species of a particular tree. So, a feature of beech is short dark lines penetrating the beech massif. Merbau, having a fibrous structure, forms yellowish-greenish highlights on a dark brown background.

Various style solutions, be it classic or modern design, mainly relate to the front of the headsets and other elements. How well the whole structure fits into the overall interior of the kitchen largely depends on the style of the facade.

The choice of facades depends on the style in which the design of the entire room is being designed. Wood facades can be given a wide variety of shapes and appearance, for example:

• with smooth and clear contours;
• with milled surfaces;
• with carved edges or trim;
• with curved door silhouettes in a romantic style;
• with deliberately rough processing in a rustic style.

Solid oak surfaces, elements from pine and other solid wood are perfect for the interior created in eco-style or in the classic version. In these cases, the furniture either completely retains the colors of natural wood or is not intensively tinted with dyes and furniture varnishes.

Cladding panels using veneer, multiplex, solid wood make it possible to decorate the kitchen in a wide variety of styles - from classic to modern modern style. The exceptions here are high-tech and loft styles, which require the use of modern materials or glass.

Solid wood kitchens are considered classics that are believed to be in fashion forever. Indeed, such a kitchen successfully forms home coziness and comfort. Solid wood sets, especially oak, beech, ash, pine, are environmentally friendly, durable and beautiful. In the manufacture of headsets, wood material is dried and coated with special protective compounds that prevent moisture and temperature changes. Solid wood products have a beautiful texture and increased strength. The versatility of the quality characteristics of wood material suggests a variety of style solutions and space for design.

The vast majority of projects are designed within the style modern, which is distinguished by the rationality and naturalness of the lines in the performance of various elements. This style is distinguished by the absence of everything superfluous and the naturalness of the lines of each element.

In kitchens designed in style provence, the leading role is played by shades of furniture. In the design of the dining area, as a rule, white is used. The Provence theme also provides for the presence of an antiquity effect, as well as forged decorative elements. At the same time, chips, small cracks and abrasions are often present on the countertop made in this style.

The atmosphere of warmth and comfort is created by rooms decorated in the style noble classics... White looks great within this style, and the use of patinated wood will help set off the most advantageous sides of the kitchen. Often, carved patinated decorative elements or painting are used, bringing harmonious variety to the overall design of the kitchen.

The use of patinated modules does not at all cause violations of the monochrome interior, but to a large extent revives it. Aged wood is obtained by using special mixtures, the composition of which depends on the characteristics of the surface to be coated.

The selection of furniture is always associated with the choice of a certain type of headset, which largely depends on the amount available. Handmade headsets are always more expensive than factory-made ones. But the latter, having different prices, can be classic, elite, made in different styles, on which the specific price of the product depends.

It is first necessary to determine the dimensions of the planned acquisition by making the necessary measurements of the premises. You should not get carried away with complex expensive fittings, because with the increase in the complexity of the system, the level of its reliability decreases.

Wood is a difficult material to process, therefore its quality characteristics are the subject of careful selection, regardless of which type of headset is chosen. There are a number of recommendations for her choice.

1. The facades of the headset should not be wet, as this indicates poor-quality drying of the solid wood. This can lead to possible deformation of the product in the future.
2. The surface of the wood must be flat and smooth. Cracks, scuffs and potholes are unacceptable.
3. Each decorative element must be checked for accuracy and thoroughness of manufacture. Any roughness can subsequently lead to delamination of the material.
4. Mounting holes in well-made furniture always have clean and tidy (no cracks) edges. Otherwise, this will lead to weakening of the fasteners and the appearance of new cracks.
5. Facades should not include knots, otherwise curvature of structural elements will occur over time.

The care recommendations for headsets are generally universal. To clean the structure, use special (no alcohol additives) detergents. After wet maintenance of furniture, its surfaces should be wiped dry.

There are some recommendations for regular and competent care.

1. When caring for furniture, do not use products containing solvents or abrasives. All you need is soapy water and a sponge.
2. Special mastic will help to give the surface of the headset the necessary shine.
3. The air humidity in the room should be maintained within 50-75%, which will ensure the safety of the product's performance.
4. Do not place heating devices closer than 50 cm to the headset.
5. Remove dust from the surfaces of the product using soft flannel or plush.
6. Small scratches or small cracks are rubbed with sandpaper, and then treated with polish, after which they become invisible.
7. Fastening fittings are subject to periodic checks, during which loosened screws and bolts must be tightened.
