Type-setting furniture for the kitchen, assembling a kitchen set with your own hands: instructions, photo and video tutorials, price

A set of type-setting modules

In any house or apartment there are three rooms that have a narrow specialization. This is a toilet, bathroom and kitchen. If we look at them from the point of view of their filling, then for each room there is a certain standard set of furniture, appliances and accessories. Although it should be noted that the range of all of the above can be huge, here a lot depends on the manufacturer's designers.

In this article, we will not touch the bathroom and toilet rooms. We will focus our gaze on the kitchen, or rather, on kitchen furniture (for a house, apartment or summer cottage). Consider the types of furniture, and determine which is best.

Standard, type-setting and custom kitchen furniture

So, from the title of the section it is clear that the modern furniture market today offers three types for kitchens:

• Standard;
• Typesetting;
• To order.

Standard kitchen furniture

This category includes ready-made headsets. That is, it is a complete kit that cannot be split and sold separately. You can vary the location of the parts of the headset, there are no problems here, but you cannot separate it (it will simply lose its functionality). Manufacturers now offer linear and angular options, which are often given either female names or color names.

Pros of purchasing:

• Acceptable price;
• Fast installation that takes virtually no time. By the way, consumers usually install a ready-made kitchen set with their own hands.

Minuses:

• Usually the choice in terms of fit is limited. That is, you will not have to buy the headset that you liked, but the one that fits the size.

Typesetting version of kitchen furniture

Type-setting kitchen furniture, which is also called modular, consists of floor pedestals and wall cabinets of different sizes. With their help, you can carry out the assembly more flexibly, which creates a convenient choice. If you decide to purchase this particular option, then contacting a specialized store, you will be able to make a choice from a large assortment, which will be offered to you either in the form of a catalog or in the form of a warehouse, where the entire assortment assembled.

Kitchen with type-setting furniture

Basic convenience modular kitchen sets lies in the fact that it is possible to select furniture elements exactly to the size of the kitchen area and to the size of household appliances. In addition, it becomes possible to use elements of different sizes, which is sometimes a simple need to fill non-standard rooms.

Benefits:

• Free choice of a complete set, not limited by anything;
• There is an opportunity to buy additional modules as needed.

Disadvantages:

• Typesetting kitchen furniture has a higher price than ready-made sets;
• Limiting the color palette;
• It will not be possible to order non-standard variations of the elements, that is, you will choose from what will be offered to you.

Kitchens to order

In this regard, there are no frames, only the dimensions of the area will be the limit. Everything else, and this is color, shape, fittings, sizes and so on, is only at your discretion. By using custom-made kitchens, the parts can be sealed so that the entire space (down to a centimeter) is filled correctly and completely. And this can be attributed to the merits of this category.

But, how without flaws. First, the deadline for the order. Usually you will have to wait at least a month for the headset to be made, everything will depend on the number of orders. Secondly, as practice shows, the cost of a custom-made kitchen is two or three times higher than that of the two previous categories.

Making a choice

As you can see, each category has its own pros and cons. Which cuisine to choose? In principle, this is a rhetorical question, because, as in any business, finances will play the main role here. If you allocate a large enough amount from the family budget for the purchase of kitchen furniture, we recommend making it to order.

In the event that you are limited in funds, then purchase a ready-made headset, with the arrangement of which you will pretty much suffer. But the type-setting kitchen is the golden mean. Both the reasonable price and the ability to precisely match the required size of the room make it by far the most popular category in terms of filling the kitchen space.

Original design option

Of course, some restrictions (colors) are present here, but there is an opportunity for little money to assemble a functioning headset that will exactly fit into the dimensions of the room. And this, frankly, is a big plus. And if you still find a supplier who will offer additional services, for example, free delivery, installation, etc., then type-setting kitchen furniture is the best option.

Attention! Many suppliers of typesetting furniture charge an additional fee for installing household appliances. So remember that the sink is not included in the kit, as a furniture element, it is a plumbing fixture. And you will have to pay for its installation (this is in case of often misunderstandings).

What are type-setting kitchen furniture made of?

As such, there are no material restrictions here. Again, let's make a reservation, everything will depend on your pocket, or rather, on the availability of money in it. Currently, manufacturers offer both budget options (made of chipboard and MDF) and expensive counterparts (made of veneer or solid wood). So some models cannot be called budget-friendly, their price is quite decent.

Assembled set - simple and tasteful

But in this case, it becomes possible to assemble a good kitchen set from modules (photo above) without resorting to the "custom-made furniture" service, which will be more expensive in any way. For example, wooden cabinets and cabinets, selected in the same stylistic design, can more than cover your needs not only for beauty and functionality, but also for prestige and long-term exploitation. So, choosing this particular option, you do not lose anything, there are still more advantages.

Conclusion on the topic

So, it has been decided - type-setting furniture for the kitchen is the best option, inexpensive and functional, which will solve your problems quickly and efficiently. The fact that the complexity of the selection of modules is still present, this is not a criterion for refusing to choose, the complexity is present in everything. But so that you can pick up faster, the video in this article will help you. Let this be a kind of instruction for use (find out also about the main points of installing a kitchen set).
