Radius kitchens: features and types

Every hostess dreams of having a luxurious kitchen, in which it will be not only pleasant to cook, but also just to be. In recent years, modern radius kitchens, which look very original, have become very popular. Traditional headsets, of course, do not fade into the background, although the radius options are no less functional than them. They have their own characteristics. And there are also varieties of radius kitchens.

Curved facades look more impressive compared to the classic options. In addition, they are considered to be more comfortable and versatile.

• Rounded facades are almost always made to order according to individual dimensions, as a result of which they are very ergonomic and aesthetic. Moreover, a custom-made headset is almost always an exclusive option in a single copy.
• Radial options fit best in studio kitchens, especially small ones. They perfectly complement several combined areas: the cooking area and the dining area, in particular, if the set has a bar counter.
• Radial headsets have no sharp corners, which is also an undoubted advantage, especially if there are children in the house or apartment.
• It is not always advisable to choose radial kitchens if the area of ​​the room is less than 10 m 2. This is due to the fact that the volumetric semicircular sections "eat up" the space.
• Such kitchens are made in almost any style. The most popular are options in the classic and high-tech style, there are often options in the direction of Provence or country with all sorts of carved details and drawings.Scandinavian-style radial headsets are practically uncommon.

To date, curved kitchens are made in 2 ways:

• by bending solid wood;
• by cutting out finished rounded parts from the required material.

Both methods are quite expensive, and therefore high-quality radius kitchens cost customers a decent penny, especially if they are made, for example, of larch or oak.

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of radius elements kitchens from various materials.

The pluses include:

• high wear resistance and strength of radius panels;
• noble appearance and exclusivity of products;
• resistance to high humidity and any detergents.

With high-quality proper care, radius kitchens made of natural wood can last more than one generation and can even become generic. Often, in round kitchens made of natural materials, glass is used to design original curved facades, especially if the set is made in the Provence or classic style. Among the disadvantages are:

• high cost of products;
• a limited number of colors, as a rule, they are all natural;
• the complexity of the restoration if necessary.

Curved radius kitchens from enamel also have a number of positive aspects:

• a large selection of colors and textures;
• durability and practicality;
• special resistance to fading and exposure to chemicals.

The disadvantages include a rather high cost, although it is slightly lower than that of natural wood options, and also the fact that, as a rule, traces from hands and various objects are always visible on glossy enamel surfaces. Such a headset can be problematic to maintain.

These types of headset options can be purchased very profitably, they have their merits.

• They are available in a wide variety of colors.
• Highly resistant to UV rays and cleaning chemicals.
• They have an attractive appearance. Of course, they don't look as expensive as the natural wood options, but the imitation can look just as good.
• Can be pasted over with glossy or matte film coatings.

Radial kitchens are also often made of plastic, but they have a number of disadvantages, despite their budget price. As a rule, such headsets are put on only for the first time.

Usually, upper or lower cabinets, as well as drawers and pencil cases are equipped with radial facades. Bar counters combined with the kitchen can also have a rounded shape. Depending on the chosen kitchen design, rounded islands are also made. There are several types of radius furniture.

• The kitchen can be traditional, but the facade will be rounded or elliptical.
• Asymmetric options for radii are not uncommon, as well as with lines concave inward.
• The curving lines of the headset can be wavy, vertical or horizontal. Wave-shaped drawers look especially interesting.
• Most often, roundness is added to the end parts located near the entrance to the kitchen. Such rounded elements perfectly complete the furniture range and, moreover, reduce the risk of injury to family members, especially small ones.
• Today, one of the most popular kitchen options is one when radius elements are combined with ordinary smooth doors in the headset. Such combinations are relevant both for studio kitchens and for large rooms.

To obtain a complete and complete picture of the design of a radius kitchen, the facades should be correctly selected in terms of colors and textures. Everything should be harmoniously combined. We also recommend using 3D design before buying furniture, which is now offered by many salons for the production of kitchen sets.

Before ordering furniture, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with interesting designs of radius kitchens, which you can take as a basis for your future project.

• If you have a dream to install a stylish high-tech style headset in your kitchen, then you can pay attention to the glossy black and white radius kitchen. The main thing in such an interior is to use built-in appliances and pay special attention, for example, to the original hood, which can become a kind of accent in the kitchen. Although it can attract a minimum of attention if you make it built-in.

• Lovers of Provence and country styles will pay attention to the semicircular corner kitchen made of natural wood in a milky color scheme. Such a set can be made of larch or, for example, bleached oak.

• A bright set with a bar counter in a semicircle looks no less original. Usually, such options fit perfectly into an area of ​​at least 20 m 2.

Curved furniture groups for the kitchen should be carefully calculated based on the size of the room and the desired built-in appliances. That is why it is recommended to use the services of professional companies to buy this kind of headsets, which have been selling furniture for kitchens for several years.
