Views
All kitchen furniture is arranged according to certain principles.
The letter "G"
Favorite assembly of the owners of small apartments. The set can be easily mounted between two perpendicular walls.
Peninsula
One part goes along the wall of such a structure, and the second goes across.
Thus, there is free space on both sides, which is used for a table or bar.
If you have a square kitchen, then this is the perfect option for her.
The letter "F"
Such a set is placed along the perpendicular walls, and a peninsula for a bar or table is substituted for it.
Styles
In the classic style, only noble woods are used, and any cheap materials like plastic are simply excluded. Furniture can be of different shapes, with carvings and decorative elements. The design uses only a basic palette of colors, avoiding flashy shades.
In modern style, preference is given to metal, which gives the kitchen austerity and rationality, the absence of pretentiousness and challenge.
In the country style, there are minimalist notes in the kitchen. Tablecloths, curtains, rugs, tableware, as a rule, have a floral pattern. Cellular patterns are also often seen.
It is important that corner furniture is made from natural materials.
Refined romance - this is the mood of the Provence style kitchen. Simple crockery in pastel colors will be the perfect complement to the corner design. Furniture and decorative items must be made of natural materials.
Loved by many, mainly thanks to the efforts of Ikea, Scandinavian design will transform a small kitchen beyond recognition... This style recognizes only natural materials, a minimum of colors, a maximum of accents.
Unlike Scandinavians, Art Deco design, as the name implies, consists of flashy shades, futuristic mixes and a wide variety of colors and textures.
Selection rules
- Before buying a corner kitchen, it is very important to clearly plan the room, determine which model will suit your layout, and choose a style that does not run counter to the general style of the apartment, because it will be somewhat ridiculous to leave the baroque bedroom, walk along the corridor in the same design and suddenly get into a high-tech kitchen with a bunch of "bells and whistles" and super modern design.
- Consider lighting. Any furniture, corner or not, will look poor and even untidy in dim light. The more small lamps in the kitchen, the more comfortable all areas will look.
- If you have a small kitchen, choose corner furniture with glass inserts on cabinet doors, glossy or mirrored surfaces to attract light and visually expand the space.
- Buy furniture without sharp corners - they create the impression of excessive severity and some heaviness of the interior. The rounded corners are ideal for the kitchen.
Materials and colors
For a kitchen that is not oversized, pastels and base colors will be the perfect color scheme to help get rid of clutter in the space and, as if to move the walls apart. Don't think the classics are boring. Basic colors (white, black, red, beige) have many shades and midtones - from bluish black, frosty white to cream or bright red.
If you have a desire for a kitchen in different colors to add playfulness, use pure shades of natural tones of green, yellow, blue.
Corner kits are most often made from plywood or solid wood, which allows you to create kitchens for any wallet. If you are ready for serious spending, then purchase a corner set from solid wood, and for those who want to save money on the market there are many combinations of solid wood and plywood.
The purchase of corner furniture will never make you regret it, because its functional characteristics, attractive appearance and ease of maintenance can satisfy the needs of even the most skeptical buyers.
