Sofa for a small kitchen

If you are the owner of a small kitchen, then you should not be upset, because there are modern kitchen sofas that are specifically designed for small spaces. Their manufacturers have taken into account all the requirements for such products, creating real masterpieces.

Such furniture has all the advantages of its larger counterparts, offering you the following advantages:

Among the wide variety of such examples, you can probably find something to your liking. Most often, to save space, such sofas are made without a corner block.

Sleeper sofas

• The rather compact dimensions of a number of models allow them to be used in really limited spaces.
• In the unfolded state, the product takes up much more space, which should be taken into account when choosing an appropriate dining table. An excellent solution in this case would be a book-table or any folding model.

Materials for corner sofas

Which product should you choose? German kitchen corners are of high quality, while domestically produced products can boast of a low price. The answer is simple: choose not what is fashionable, but what suits you best.

In addition, if you take the selection procedure seriously, then you can pick up a really good option from the array at an affordable price that will serve you for many, many years.

In order to choose a worthy product, pay attention to the material of manufacture. Most kitchen corner benches are made of wood. Moreover, such a sofa can be upholstered in almost any material. The filler is foam rubber.

Let's take a closer look:

• The body of elite and expensive models is necessarily made of natural wood.
• Economy class furniture naturally uses cheaper materials. Most often, chipboard or MDF is used here, which makes it possible to somewhat reduce the cost of such products. If the corner bench is made at a good furniture factory, then the use of substitutes for natural wooden boards does not in any way affect the quality of the final product.

Kitchen corner upholstery:

• Thick upholstery fabric.
• Leatherette.
• Genuine Leather.

Advice!
If you have opted for products with fabric upholstery, then give preference to those fabrics that do not absorb moisture.
The best choice is wet-cleaned upholstery with high quality synthetic fabrics.

The most practical option for upholstery is genuine leather or high-quality leatherette. These surfaces can be easily cleaned from dirt using specially designed products. Naturally, in terms of strength and durability, no material can compare with genuine leather. The best kitchen benches upholstered in leather are Mercury (pictured below) and Soul.

Where to place the kitchen sofa

Since the vast majority of consumers make repairs with their own hands, they are engaged in the selection and placement of furniture on their own. Speaking of the kitchen, there is not a lot of choice, since this room does not differ in special dimensions.

However, if the layout allows you, then place a corner bench by the window. In this way, the dining area will have a unique atmosphere and look more attractive than if located in the middle of the kitchen.

If you are interested in original pieces of furniture, pay attention to the round sofas. They are very comfortable and attractive and original.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that the choice of a kitchen corner bench seems very simple and obvious to many people, in reality it is a serious step that requires thought and comparison of a number of furniture elements. Here you have to take into account many important factors, namely, the material and size of the product, the availability of a berth or its absence, shape and presence in the design of additional compartments for storing kitchen utensils, in particular, minibar.

Modern kitchen furniture manufacturers offer you a truly huge selection of not only upholstery colors and textures, but also various options for the products themselves. But even if you liked a particular option, be sure to pay attention to the materials from which the product is made.
