Kitchen sets for a small kitchen

A small kitchen is the main problem of apartments with an old layout. Because of the shortage of square meters in it is impossible to put a full dining table with chairs or a soft corner, and island furniture is not even worth talking about. However, modern manufacturers came up with a way out of the problem and developed kitchen sets for a small kitchen. They do not have massive storage systems and large working surfaces. Here priority is given to the correct arrangement of furniture modules, practical fittings and roominess.

How to choose small kitchen sets?

When buying furniture in the kitchen, it is advisable to refer to furniture factories that manufacture custom-made headsets. In this case, the layout of the room will be taken into account and all niches and openings will be used. Ready-made suite will fit snugly against the wall, creating a feeling that it's like "grown-up" in the kitchen.

To make the headset comfortable and functional it is important not to forget about the following points:

  1. Special fittings . Pay attention to the headset with an "intelligent" storage system. It involves the use of the following mechanisms: a system of shelves "trains", boxes and baskets with dividers, containers, baskets, nets, "magic corners", shelves-carousel. Their task is to provide access to dishes stored in the depths of floor and hanging cabinets.
  2. Door opening system . Classic hinged doors of hanging cabinets occupy a lot of valuable space. It is better to choose a headset with a lifting mechanism that keeps the cabinet door open. The opening system can be sliding, folding, lifting and folding.
  3. Extendable table . Some kitchen sets include a sliding table top or folding table. If necessary, the table can be simply pushed deep into the headset, thus freeing up space in the kitchen. If you need to prepare a lot of food, and the working space is not enough, then you can quickly push the countertop and use it as a stand for the bowls and cutting boards.

As you can see, a small kitchen set can become a full-fledged replacement of large-sized furniture. You just need to take care of the competent layout and modern furniture stuffing.

Headset Configurations

Experienced designers distinguish two optimal configurations of suites for a small kitchen:

Direct set used in planning in the form of an elongated rectangle. In this case, the sink is put in one end of the kitchen, and the refrigerator in the other. The hob is located in a place of honor in a central place. With this option, you get two working zones - left and right of the cooker. The length of the zones depends on the size of the wall along which the furniture is located. The direct headset is more symmetrical. Here you can play beautifully with milled facades and flowers.

Corner set is suitable for kitchens of square shape. It combines everything: compactness, ergonomics, convenience and stylish design. It can accommodate a large number of kitchen utensils, and modern fittings and opening systems allow you to easily get the right thing from the farthest corner of the headset. In addition, the corner layout of furniture allows you to separate the dining area. For this, you can use a bar counter or a compact island.

The only disadvantage of a small corner kitchen set is the lack of possibility to use photo printing. For its decor, a monophonic film with interesting color effects (chameleon, sparkles, blur effect) is more often used.
