Design Tips
- In a small room, the first thing to think about is a comfortable work surface. There must be space between the sink, stove and refrigerator for kitchen countertops. Then there will be enough space for cooking.
- It is necessary to abandon the very spectacular, but at the same time dimensional headsets with curved, streamlined facades. They are typical for interiors in ultra-modern style, and it is better to opt for compact rectangular and practical options.
- Furniture for a small kitchen should be chosen with facades made of frosted or transparent glass. The headset, in which glass inserts are present, visually looks lighter and the small room will not be cluttered.
- If you equip the kitchen with built-in appliances, then you need to place it at waist level - neither high nor low.
Furniture selection
Today, furniture for a small kitchen is quite diverse. And her choice depends only on personal preferences and financial capabilities.
There are two options for buying a headset:
- You can purchase a ready-made kit.
- Or contact a company that produces custom-made furniture.

Mini kitchen
A ready-made set is furniture that differs in standard dimensions, has average characteristics and a typical design. Of the advantages here will be only the price, speed of purchase and instructions for self-installation. But among the shortcomings, one can single out a rare coincidence of the configuration and area with the dimensions of the room. Since there are always empty corners or working areas are poorly designed.
Material selection
The choice of material for the production of kitchen sets for today is also diverse:
- In the manufacture of countertops, postforming, plastic, various types of wood-based panels, artificial and natural stone are used.
- In the manufacture of facades, MDF, aluminum profiles, solid wood, plastic, glass are used.
The quality of the furniture depends, of course, on the material from which the set is made. For example, wooden headsets are durable and highly durable, but they are afraid of moisture. But the facades made of plastic have a rich color range and are easy to clean.
Mini kitchens
The scope of this miniature headset is truly endless. Naturally, in an apartment with a large area where family meals are held at a large table, small kitchens will not be relevant. However, if you live in a "Khrushchev" or even a hostel - that's it. Also, such headsets will attract the attention of bachelors or couples who dine and dine outside the home.
Mobile kitchenette
You can arrange such headsets as you like, anywhere. Since most of them function 360 degrees, and you can move freely with your own hands.
Advantages
- The system of shelves, drawers, rotating and pull-out elements, as well as the rest of the "smart" fittings is thought out carefully. Thanks to this, every centimeter of the area is used for the convenience of the user. In such a kitchen, you will always have everything at hand.
- Headset mobility. This characteristic for a small room plays no less significant role than compactness. The location of such a headset can be changed as many times as you want. In addition, if you did not have time to clean the work surface and guests accidentally came, then you will not feel discomfort. In this case, you can simply slide the blinds or close the cabinet doors, and your work area will be hidden from prying eyes.
Certainly, foreign manufacturers have been more successful in this direction.
Small domestic kitchen furniture is not so futuristic, and it looks more traditional - like a standard cabinet. Although from the point of view of functionality and ergonomics, Russian mini headsets look quite decent, and certainly the price for them is much lower than their Western counterparts.
