So that the design and layout of the 14-meter kitchen are harmonious and ergonomic, different factors must be taken into account... The shape of the room is of great importance. If the room is elongated, rectangular, it is best to consider a linear or parallel layout.In the case of a single-row arrangement, the headsets are placed along one of the walls, while the other is used as a dining area. You can put a table, chairs and even a small sofa there.
A two-row layout uses both walls, but if the headset is made shorter than the wall, then you can equip a cozy dining group in the vacant space. In square-shaped rooms, corner and U-shaped layouts look best, which can be combined with a peninsular one.

Choosing a sofa for the kitchen, stop on a folding type model, so you will have an extra bed. Alternatively, you can choose the option with storage sections under the seat, this will allow you to place small appliances or other rarely used items.
If the room has a door to the balcony, it is necessary to think over the arrangement of furniture so that the opening is completely free. If possible, connect the kitchen with an insulated loggia, this will increase the area. Another, less drastic way to increase the space is to replace the entrance door with an arch.

Choice of colors
Since the footage is quite good, when choosing a color, it is not at all necessary to rely only on light shades. If you like contrast, catchy combinations, you can safely experiment.

Be sure to consider the style direction, the color should not contradict it. Designers advise not to use more than 3 colors in decoration and adhere to proportions:
- main color - maximum area;
- additional - small area;
- accent - in the form of details.

Textiles, decor, lighting
Without decor, any room will seem unfinished. Pay special attention to the design of the window opening. Focus on the chosen style, then the overall picture will look harmonious and effective.

The main thing is not to overload the space with details and select decor elements in accordance with the chosen direction.
When choosing curtains, pay attention not only to aesthetics, but also to quality. It is better to choose synthetic fabrics that will be easy to wash and will not absorb odors like a sponge. You should not choose heavy dark curtains for the kitchen, they will reduce the space and make the interior heavier. In addition, they are impractical to maintain.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/06/varianty-dizajna-kuhni-14-kv-m-72.jpg)
Be sure to consider the side the window faces. More light will be needed on the north side. Consider an artificial lighting system so that there is enough light in all areas. Therefore, in addition to the chandelier, be sure to equip the work area with built-in lamps or LED strip. Lighting allows you not only to make your stay in the kitchen comfortable, but also visually highlights the zones, gives the room a coziness.
