Lucky for those who own an apartment in which the kitchen measures 4x4 meters. Its total area is sixteen squares, and this, frankly, is a decent size for the kitchens of city apartments. If we compare it with six-meter kitchens, then there is a lot of fantasy to create a design.
Kitchen design 4 by 4 meters is a real opportunity to realize all your desires related to a beautiful, cozy, comfortable and functional environment. Fortunately, the size allows it. Such developments exist, they can be viewed in the portfolio (photo) of any designer. But if there is a desire to create something unusual, something that differs from everything proposed, then you can cooperate with a designer and try to make an individual project.
Kitchen 4x4 meters - good dimensions for interesting solutions
Where to begin
First of all, you need to decide on the style. This is an important point. Because a design is being developed in order to live in it for a long time (at least 10-15 years) until the next renovation. This means that you will have to take into account all the nuances of the location of furniture and household appliances, color design and lighting..
Original design
And if you immediately decide on the style direction in the interior (your taste preferences will play a major role here), then with selection of kitchen furniture you have to tinker. Do you know why? The thing is that the kitchen set will have to be selected not only by the size of the kitchen space, but also by the functionality of its items.
Sixteen square meters is a large volume, so you can place a sufficient number of pieces of furniture here that could satisfy any owner. But is it worth cluttering up the space? This is a good question. Therefore, there is a need to consider some kitchen design options.
Straight-line option
This method of arranging furniture is used most often. The thing is that the wall length of four meters allows you to place a fairly large number of furniture elements. In addition, both the hob and the refrigerator are placed in the line. In principle, it is convenient in all respects.
But this leaves a large free area on which you can arrange other furniture in the form:
- Corner or straight sofa;
- Set up a large roomy dining table;
- Arrange chairs, not small stools.
Straight placement
That is, to create conditions for complete comfort of food intake. And this is an important factor.
Very often, such a kitchen layout is diluted with various furniture elements that increase its functionality and usability. For example, a bar counter or an island of pedestals for a variety of kitchen utensils and products will look great here.
Island option
By the way, it is the island, as a 4m by 4m kitchen design, that is preferable to other methods of design approach.
- First, a whole set of furniture appears that can be used for different purposes. That is, here you can organize a table, a work surface, install a hob or sink. Even kitchen bar would be appropriate here.
- Secondly, combining several zones into one makes it possible to correctly arrange the entire kitchen space.
This will mainly be appreciated by the hostess of the kitchen, who will not leave the zone of the working triangle (stove-sink-refrigerator), but at the same time the dining table is located right there. By the way, at the expense of the refrigerator, it is best to install it opposite the island, inserting it into the kitchen set. - Thirdly, it becomes possible to organize uniform lighting. That is, by installing several hanging lamps above the island, you completely solve the problem with the illumination of both the working area and the surface of the dining table. So to speak, two in one.
- And the last point, which concerns the convenience of using the island option, is the ability to move away from the use of wall cabinets.
There is nothing against this piece of furniture. But this, as modern designers note, is the past, so to speak, an obsolete archaism. Without hanging cabinets, of course, the kitchen space will be much freer (but that's up to you).

Other options
What else can you offer in such a large kitchen? The corner option is acceptable, it is possible to create a good dining area, where not only upholstered furniture will be installed, but also good equipment (TV, music installations, etc.). It becomes possible to organize a play area or cabinet. That is, it is not difficult to beat such an object.
Please note that when choosing a style and arrangement, other nuances must be taken into account. For example, ceiling decoration.
In such a large kitchen, multi-level structures will look great, which can be played up with unusual lighting.
Table by the window
By the way, very often the option is played out when the dining area is transferred to the window opening. This is a very convenient location that helps to achieve some kind of absolute in terms of concentrating natural light on the dining table surface. Is such a moment important?
Without a doubt.
- Firstly, this is one of the best lighting options.
- Secondly, it becomes possible to save electricity.
- Thirdly, this area is turning into more than just a dining room. It can be used for the various personal needs of all family members.
What about other pieces of furniture? And here let your fantasy tell you. The variety of arrangement is huge, the main thing is that everything is convenient and functional.
