When choosing a kitchen set in a store, many consumers are faced with the problems of choosing the best option for their kitchen. For some, the price turns out to be too high, some are not satisfied with the build quality, and some may just like to assemble kitchen sets with their own hands.
This is especially true for a private country house, where a non-standard layout of premises is possible. In any case, the independent creation of a kitchen set is quite possible, the main thing is to have a great desire, a little experience and an understanding of the essence of the process.
As we wish, we will do so!
Things to Consider Before Getting Started
- Any production usually begins with the creation of a drawing of the future structure, in which its dimensions and features are calculated. Before you draw a kitchen set, you need to decide on the functionality of the furniture and its main characteristics. Determine where the stock of food will be stored, and where - household appliances and dishes, how the modules will be located relative to the stove and sink, how to connect the hood to the ventilation ducts and similar moments.
- In order to correctly execute a drawing of a kitchen set with dimensions, you need to know the basic principles of calculating the optimal sizes, on which the convenience of the entire kitchen set will depend. In addition, there are standard standards, such a kind of instruction or recommendation, which were calculated back in Soviet times. So that the hostess has to walk less in the kitchen, bend over for dishes or reach for a jar of cereals. At least…

Some technical nuances
Examples of correctly dimensioned drawings
So, for designing a tabletop, a depth of 600 mm is chosen, and the distance from it to the bottom wall cabinet kitchen must be at least 450 mm. The average depth of the wall cabinet is 300 mm, and the width of the base cabinet can vary from 150 to 1200 mm, depending on preference.
Focusing on the height of the person for whom it is designed kitchen set, hanging shelves are installed at a height of 350 to 1320 mm. The sink should be located in relation to the hob no closer than 600 mm, and the level of the hood should be at a height of about 650-750 mm from the hob level. Drawings and dimensions of kitchen sets need to be customized for a person, and not for walls and ceilings.

Optimizing the kitchen space
- Next, a material is selected to create a headset, the main characteristic of which should be environmental friendliness. The most suitable for these purposes is plywood, or a more expensive option - natural wood. Also chipboard, solid wood or veneer can be used as auxiliary materials.
To facilitate the process of assembling furniture, it is better to calculate in advance all the necessary details by applying them to the drawings of kitchen corner sets. The corner version will be more convenient in any case, since it is placed more compactly. - After that, your part will already be followed by the ordering of boxes and facades in production according to individual sizes. That is, the headset itself, in fact. Submit drawings of corner kitchen sets to the enterprise along with a detailed description.
It's a good idea to decide in advance on the material and pay for it if you don't want to get furniture from poorly compressed sawdust. In addition, it is recommended to purchase all accessories for future cabinets, including pull-out baskets, cutlery trays and cabinet handles.
The result of thoughtful "amateur performance"
Important!
Not less, but even more!
It is necessary to clearly define and plan the purchase of basic kitchen utensils and appliances.
The dimensions of the projected countertops and the depth of the cabinets will depend on the dimensions of the selected oven, stove or sink.
Many kitchen items have certain standards, but some of them should not be ruled out.
Corner kitchens on their own
Unlike straight wardrobes, corner furniture design requires more care in measurements and basic calculations. Before drawing up drawings of kitchen corner sets, it is necessary to have not only clear parameters and dimensions of the room, including the exact value of the angle chosen for the placement of the project, but also the idea of the placement of equipment - this will be a kind of instruction.
The slightest deviation of the angle from the norm will lead to the formation of a gap between the wall and the furniture, or, worse, the corner cabinet simply will not fit into the given dimensions. Therefore, one of the main tasks when designing a corner kitchen is to determine the size of the angle, also taking into account all the unevenness of the walls.
Think about common sense!
It is necessary to think over the approximate design of the future kitchen set, on which the main dimensions will depend. The depth of the hanging cabinet in this case should be no more than 350-400 mm, and the rest of its dimensions are drawn in accordance with the overall dimensions of the project. (Cm. See also article Kitchen interior design: types.)
To be sure that your do-it-yourself kitchen set will turn out the way you planned it, it is recommended to apply for the services of professionals with experience in designing furniture. This way you will avoid additional problems that may arise during the installation process.
If you are sure that all measurements were made correctly, then there are several special programs that help you to independently make a sketch of the project according to the specified dimensions.
Summary
Design is for the experienced. Or at least for those who think. It is impossible to just take and draw drawings of kitchen corner sets with watercolors, you need to be guided by many requirements and prescriptions. You should succeed! And in addition to the above, watch the video in this article.
