Corner kitchen 6 sq m

Minimalism in a kitchen set is the best solution for creating a stylish room

A small and compact kitchen set is a functional acquisition. It will fit into a small kitchen and combined with a dining room or living room. There are many options for placing elements of such furniture - I will introduce you to them in this article.

Square meters - each is worth its weight in gold

Measure the kitchen in steps. Why not meters? Because dimensions are needed to create a project on paper or on a computer, now you need to feel the kitchen as it should be.

Instructions for creating a virtual interior:

Go into the kitchen with the layout drawing. Visualize how you will use the headset.

• Start by washing. Turn your face towards the place where you plan to wash. Now look around to see if there is enough space for your work surface, reach for the refrigerator and stir the soup on the stove? If yes, then mentally put a tick over the sink.

• Location: Linear or Angular. Now look from the other side, can you fit it all in one line or do you have to install an L-shaped headset? If you have one wall almost three meters long, then you can calculate arithmetically: 600 mm standard refrigerator + 600 mm standard sink + 600 hob. As a result, a little more than a meter remains.

Corner placement is the only way out for non-standard narrow spaces.

Note! This option is possible only when the kitchen is 2x3 m, but not 2.5x2.5 m. the room will have to use the second wall, otherwise the working surface will be too small.

• Free passage. Stand near the future kitchen table, use a tape measure to mark its extreme point. Shorten or lengthen it until it seems to you that the passage between him and the cabinet will be free enough not to interfere with the seated person. If the distance is not enough, place the table in the corner opposite the cabinets.

The main areas of the kitchen corner: cooking, washing, food

Make the most of your space

The goal is to place the corner set ergonomically and fit into the interior. Start right at the corner.

Advice! Decide in advance on the number of cabinets in the headset. First of all, place all the necessary items, then gradually add around the cabinet, moving away from the working area.

Washing area

Traditionally, the corner is occupied by a sink and cupboards.

• Sink cabinet aboutIt is usually installed in the corner: it is convenient to wash here, the stove and worktop are next to each other. Do not install any drawers or shelves inside, as taps and water pipes pass here. Leave this place for the trash can.

Fashionable option: a sink by the window, in the corner - a cabinet with a table top.

• Dinnerware hinged - This is the largest wall cabinet, as it is used for storing tableware. Place it next to the sink and equip it with a dish dryer. This design comes in different sizes - it all depends on how many people you have in your family.
• Roll-out cabinet install next to the sink. ABOUTTypically, the top drawer will hold a tray of forks / spoons.

Products area

This area is with a refrigerator, therefore it is located on the other side of the stove.

Here put:

• Cupboard for grocery products.
• Curbstone roomy for any stocks, conservation. You can put on it equipment that you often use (for example, a microwave).

Cooking area

Always at the stove: a cupboard with kitchen utensils, shelves with spices and a workplace.

Let's consider how to arrange the elements of the kitchen corner near the stove - the central object of this zone:

• Small wall cabinet convenient for storing spices.
• Drawer appropriate if, instead of a stove, there is a built-in oven with a hob. Place the pans here.
• Cupboard for kitchen utensils with a large distance between shelves, it is convenient for pots. We use its countertop for cooking.
• Hood is needed, since the smells from the kitchen scatter too quickly throughout the rooms.

In a combined kitchen you cannot do without a hood

TV spot in the kitchenette

Complete the corner with a TV - modern models can be mounted anywhere.

Lovers of watching movies at dinner or listening to the news at breakfast are dedicated to:

• If you want to position the TV in the kitchen, hang it in front of the dining table.
• Can be attached to tall cabinet. But if there is a built-in refrigerator, this is a bad idea. It is often opened.
• If desired and pre-wired installation, the TV can be installed in a wall cabinet, fixing it thoroughly.
• Or abandon one wall cabinet and place the TV next to the front door.

Advice! Try not to mount it to the ceiling. Orient yourself like this: the maximum height of the fastener is the lower edge of the device at eye level of a standing person. So it will be better to see, and it is convenient to look, even while sitting.

Materials and colors

The most suitable for a corner (made to order or by hand), easy-care materials:

• Chipboard (sheet form pressed wood shavings). It is from this material that modern kitchen sets are made.
• Natural wood used with rare exceptions - it is too expensive.
• MDF (medium density fiberboard). For this material, a painted or plastic coating is optimal. They are considered the most reliable, affordable and attractive (see our article Kitchen fronts made of MDF - let's add variety).

Painted MDF combined with acrylic top - stylish, fashionable and functional

As for the color scheme prevailing in the corner kitchen, preference should be given to those shades that are lacking in the room.

For example:

• if the kitchen is lit enough, then it is better to add a little dark shades to eliminate glare;
• in a dark room, the use of light facades is necessary to reflect light from the lamp and fill the room with warmth and comfort.
