We can safely say that the kitchen is the soul of the house. The hostess spends a fifth of her life on it, and the whole family gathers there every day. Guests are also often received in the kitchen.

Therefore, it is very important how cozy, beautiful, comfortable and functional it will be. Furniture plays an important role in kitchen design.

This single structure actually consists of many small lockers.

Putting together a fascinating constructor

Unfortunately, not every family can afford a large home with a spacious kitchen. In modern apartments only a few meters are reserved for this important room. How to properly and conveniently complete a small space? There is a solution. Modular kitchen furniture will help you.

Kitchen modular furniture is a set of ready-made standard sections (modules).

Any manufacturer will present you with a wide range of choices:

• Forms.
• Colors.
• Materials.
• Fittings.

Note!
The word "standard" means - the most adapted to the standards of the apartment and the kitchen equipment used. But this does not mean that there will be a template set.

You can choose and combine any combination of modules. Therefore, the comfort and individuality of your headset is guaranteed. The main thing is to skillfully and rationally fill the kitchen space.

A modular set will help with this in the best possible way, because it does not provide for a specific placement and "grip" of furniture with a single monolith.

• The modules can be placed separately from each other, both on the floor and on the wall.
• In addition, the placement configuration can be changed if desired.

Such furniture is similar to a designer set for adults: there is a set of details, and the result depends only on your imagination and individual taste. But in order to find the optimal headset, you need to know all the technical nuances.

Many modules are united by a plastic table top

We select materials

Headset base and facades

• Basically, modular kitchen furniture is made from pressed wood shavings (chipboard).
  The arsenal of various materials for the facade is very wide, because kitchen facade creates the main impression and is the "face" of the furniture.
  Durability and attractive appearance are not the only requirements for the material. It is very important that the material is resistant to moisture, temperature extremes, dust, dirt, and is also easy to clean and wash. And the chipboard corresponds to this.
• Of course, solid wood kitchens are considered the most reliable.. In addition to being incredibly durable, this material also looks beautiful. The cut of the tree has a different and unique pattern and a wide palette.
  You need to be prepared that after a while the shade of the furniture will become a little darker, but this is not at all scary, on the contrary - it becomes more noble. True solid wood, the material is finicky and does not like moisture.

Important!
For the kitchen, you will need to purchase a special air humidifier that will maintain the required humidity at the same level.

• Also, for the manufacture of furniture, finely dispersed compressed shavings (MDF) are used. It is an excellent material of increased density, complex shapes and rounded lines are easily made from it. It is environmentally friendly and surpasses wood in mechanical properties and resistance to humid atmosphere.

Painted MDF board - a stylish solution

• For registration (covering) kitchen facade, mainly use plastic plates up to one centimeter thick. Plastic can be of absolutely all colors, while any pattern is applied to it.
  Its surface is either matte, or glossy, and if desired. Plastic can imitate any natural material (from wood to marble). With such qualities, it becomes possible to implement any, even the most daring design decision.

Choice of countertops

The countertop is perhaps the main element of kitchen furniture. Indeed, the hostess's mood will envy from its quality, convenience and functionality.

The tabletop is exposed to frequent mechanical stress, because it is on this surface that most of the work is carried out when cooking.

• Optimal material for kitchen countertops will serve as a chipboard. In addition, this material will save money.
  After all, a high price does not always guarantee the proper quality, and vice versa. The surface of the countertop is covered with a plastic plate. And we already know about the aesthetic and functional properties of plastic.
• Also, the working surface can be made of artificial stone (a mixture of composite material and stone chips). Of course, this guarantees increased strength, but at the same time makes the structure much heavier.

No joints, cracks - the surface seems to be monolithic

Note!
The stone countertop is resistant to mechanical damage and can be easily restored.

Selection of fittings and components

What does the kitchen set consist of? The standard set includes: wall and floor cabinets, cabinets, pencil cases, shelves and sideboards. All these components have different lengths, heights and internal filling.

A set of modules is made depending on the size of the room, personal taste preferences and the general interior.

• Now it is in vogue to combine sections into a single monolith, covered with a solid work surface (tabletop). It looks nice and is considered quite practical to use. The instructions for filling the kitchen are very simple - you should think over the concept in advance and make clear measurements.

Memo!
In order not to get confused by the abundance of the options offered, you can preview all possible options on video or photos in advance.

• Hanging boxes have different fronts and functionality. It can be shelves with a blind door and fully open, stained glass, facade with glass. The widths of the module range, as a rule, from fifteen centimeters to one and a half meters. Floor boxes, chests of drawers, pencil cases and sideboards can be either closed with a plinth at the bottom or on legs.
• The bedside tables have folding, swing, hinged doors. The shelves are made deaf, removable and roll-out. Also, the headsets are filled with various boxes. There is also a wide selection here: foldable, retractable, rotating. It is important to choose the right package to make the most of the space.

Drawers with automatic door closers, which, with a slight push, work and smoothly press the facade

If everything is correctly selected, then assembling such a kit with your own hands will not be difficult. In addition, in the future, it will be possible to rearrange the modules in a different way and refresh the interior.
