However, not every family can boast of a large kitchen, in which even a family of 3 could easily dine. But thanks to new technologies, even from small and narrow rooms, you can create a cozy, functional corner.
Features of small kitchens
Direct kitchens, as a rule, are always located against the same wall. To work effectively in such a space, a number of rules must be observed:
- do not clutter the kitchen with a lot of things;
- talk a little and rarely (ideal for a newlywed or single person);
- organize a separate area for lunch and dinner.
The main advantages of such a kitchen set are simple and ready-made design, affordable price and compactness... The disadvantages include the fact that in such headsets the rule of "golden triangle" is not observed.
If the length of the structure is more than 4 meters, then it becomes inconvenient to work.
Often it is necessary to reduce the work space and move the refrigerator to another room.
Small straight kitchens
To create a beautiful and functional kitchen, several recommendations must be followed.
- Move the sink away from the wall. Ideal if the sink is in the middle of the headset. Accordingly, the washing machine and dishwasher should also be close to communications.
- Choose deep cabinets for compact storage of kitchen utensils. It is better to organize the work surface between the sink and the stove. If there is very little space, then it is better to give preference to hobs, for example, with two burners.
- There must be a distance between the refrigerator and the stove not less than 15 centimeters.
This arrangement allows the wall of the refrigerator not to heat up from the gas stove, and splashes of fat will not stain its surface.
- Wall cabinets make it possible to functionally use the space of the room. Studio kitchens or kitchens combined with living rooms make it possible to separate the work and dining areas.
Then there is a place in order to harmoniously organize the space.
Design options for small kitchens
So that the interior design does not bother for many years to come, it is necessary to decide on the style that should be in this kitchen. Let's consider the most popular destinations.
- Classic. Traditional, elegant, discreet. It never gets boring. It always looks great. The facade is usually milled. Colors are chosen calm and muted. Walls and furniture can be brown or white, as well as sand or coffee shades.
- High tech. Simple style with a minimum of detail. Furniture is often built-in. The facades have discreet decor. The surface of the headsets is often shiny and smooth. The colors are dominated by green, orange, black.
- Minimalism. Precise geometry in every detail. There is no decor or it is poorly visible. Style presupposes severity, laconism, the absence of everything superfluous.
The choice of design should be shaped by a person based on his needs and preferences, as well as the size of the room. Color matters too. Often beige and its shades, as well as green, are used for the kitchen. Recently, an interesting version of the chessboard. Use white and black.
