Italian furniture for the kitchen (51 photos): video instructions for choosing with your own hands, features of kitchen handles, price, photo

Historically, the kitchen, or rather the place for which it was issued, was originally intended only for cooking. Later, the kitchen began to transform, acquiring not only multifunctional equipment, different from fireplaces and braziers, but also elements that, at first glance, were not related to cooking. Many people made kitchen furniture with their own hands.

The kitchens of Italian masters especially stood out, who combined not only comfort and convenience during their stay there, but also the unique southern flavor of the headsets created by their hands.

The photo shows a sample of Italian cuisine.

Times go by, but Italian kitchen furniture has remained an unsurpassed benchmark. Even now, against the background of mass production of furniture, it is distinguished by the sophistication of lines, the highest quality the materials used, as well as the ability to combine classic forms with modern design finds.

1. Equipment needed for cooking
2. plate;
3. oven;
4. sink or sink;
5. water heating equipment, etc.
6. Furniture
7. cabinets;
8. tables;
9. chairs;
10. countertops;
11. stools;
12. bar counters, etc.
13. Other devices
14. hood;
15. dishwashers;

While cooking equipment is the most important thing in a kitchen, special attention is paid to furniture. Recently, the fashion for built-in appliances has even spread, when all the stoves, refrigerators and sinks are hidden behind the doors and under the tabletops of the headsets, not standing out in any way in the interior.

In these cases, as a rule, the price of the headset is slightly higher, but the kitchen looks like a picture.

Homemade Italian cuisine

Is it possible to make Italian cuisine yourself

If you know how to use carpentry tools, you know how to install fittings yourself, and you understand materials from which the furniture is made, then you can easily recreate the best examples of such headsets.

Having carefully looked at the photographs of furniture sold in online stores, you will surely notice that Italian kitchens are made in a variety of styles. For example, there are images created in the style of Empire, Baroque, Classicism, Eclectic facades and high-tech kitchens.

From the foregoing, the conclusion suggests itself that it will be quite difficult to completely copy the facades of the headsets on the solid wood. To do this, you need not only to have vast experience in the artistic processing of wood, but also a lot of time that will have to be spent on their manufacture.

Therefore, one of the possible and at the same time the least expensive option would be to order or purchase ready-made facades made of MDF for your future headset in specialized stores that sell similar elements.

There you can also buy boxes and boxes, which are selected by size and color shades, and Italian handles for kitchen furniture and other accessories, without which the overall impression of the headset may not be complete.

Let's start creating a headset project

Before going to the store, you must definitely take all measurements of the kitchen space and transfer them to paper in the form of a plan. Then draw up a draft of the future headset.

On it you need to indicate the location of the main elements, such as a stove, sink, oven, cabinets and countertop, putting down at the same time, the exact dimensions that must be adhered to when buying facades in a store, or when placing an order for them manufacturing.

Attention!
It is impossible to move the sink or gas stove to another corner: the sink is located so called "wet zone" with special waterproofing, and do not touch gas equipment at all recommended.
The maximum that can be done is to turn these elements on the other side or move the centimeters 20 to the side.

Take this stage extremely responsibly, since real Italian kitchen furniture is always as ergonomic and functional as possible. Be sure to consider the location of the water, gas and sewage pipes, the presence of outlets and the location of the ventilation holes.
