If you want your kitchen to look individual, then the furniture for it must be selected carefully, despite the fact that you have the most ordinary kitchen room.
For example, when ordering a set of kitchen furniture for a small kitchen exclusively for your limited space, you rationally and reasonably use every piece of scarce space. Make the kitchen practical, just for yourself and all your household.

Kitchen furniture: location and completeness
Location
Kitchen furniture can be arranged as follows:
- in two rows;
- in one row;
- the letter "G"
- the letter "P" and many more different variations to your taste.
Everything will depend not only on your imagination, but also on conditions such as:
- room area;
- room shape;
- your individual preferences.
Important!
The main starting point for the arrangement of furniture is, of course, the stove and sink.
The space of the kitchen, regardless of whether it is a "Khrushchev" or an extensive kitchen-dining room, is functionally and visually divided into two main zones: the working (cooking zone) and, in fact, the dining room.

When choosing furniture for the kitchen, it is imperative to take into account the features of each of the above zones. This must be done at least for the purpose of not getting dishware out of the cabinet over the heads of household members sitting at the table in the future.
In addition, shelves and cabinets should be positioned so that there is no need to make unnecessary movements. Also, do not forget about such a moment as a place for household appliances. Therefore, you must work out all these nuances in advance, having prepared the room with your own hands for the purchase of new kitchen furniture.
