Kitchens - Castorama (41 photos): how to choose furniture, a kitchen set with your own hands, video instructions for choosing, photo and price

Where the easiest place to look for household goods is, of course, in a hypermarket. And to come, see and buy. And how do you look at a few square kilometers - if positively, then the shops of the Castorama system will suit you perfectly.

Whether for small or large kitchens - everything is there.

No, really, why run around various points in search of:

• mixers;
• hoods;
• kitchen accessories;
• household appliances;
• kitchen sets -

when all this can be bought in one place.

Moreover, Castorama furniture for the kitchen offers a separate line of its trade activities. Your task is to choose from the variety that is offered and install in your kitchen. And from us, from us, instructions on "rescuing those drowning" at sea, which have already been mentioned.

A bit of history

The volumes are impressive.

Paying tribute to the creators of the hypermarket chain, I would like to say that the French company, which was founded a little more than four decades ago, already occupies a leading position in the world hierarchy of sellers of household goods and garden.

Starting their way from Western Europe, the French calmly crossed the ocean, settled in the United States, on the Asian part of the continent, and even appeared in the domestic open spaces.

The direction of activity has always been unchanged - goods for the home, renovation and gardening. Kitchens in Castorama are one of the main areas of their activity. Moreover, the basic feature of the company is to provide a set of products that allow you to assemble turnkey kitchens, with all the accompanying accessories.

And about practice

The design style of the room does not matter, there is everything.

Kitchens in Castorama allow you to take into account, if not all tastes, then the maximum number of them. Given the size of your kitchen, you will be able to choose and install from several of the most suitable types of kitchens.

Namely:

• Kitchen, where all the furniture is in one line;
• L-shaped kitchen, in which furniture is located, as a rule, from wall to wall, occupying one corner;
• U-shaped kitchen, furniture arrangement on three walls;
• Island cuisinewhere some elements are taken to the center of the kitchen;
• Kitchen Peninsula. In this case, some objects are taken outside the line of a single ensemble, but the connection with the general construction of the furniture is not lost.

And now, too, but in more detail:

• The kitchen, where the furniture is installed in one line, already initially assumes a large room size. Agree, it's quite difficult to fit all the cabinets, pencil case, refrigerator, dishwasher, and sometimes washing machine in one line in a Khrushchev. No, it's just impossible. And even wall cabinets will not solve the problem of a small kitchen. Or you will have to take not the whole set, but its parts, but then the conversation is not about the kitchen, but about individual elements.

Note! As much as you would like it, but any kitchen presupposes a set of obligatory items: stoves, sinks and a refrigerator. And if the place of the latter can be outside the kitchen (this is certainly inconvenient, but not fatal), then the stove and sink outside the kitchen is already nonsense.

• L-shaped layout. It is considered the most ergonomic. All the laws of convenience and functionality are seen here. The sink, stove and refrigerator form the cherished triangle, and the distance between them fits into all the established canons. And the furniture can be entered all without a trace, taking into account even a small area, since even it has its own developments.

Most popular layout.

• Layout using three walls or U-shaped layout. An interesting combination is the professional use of the kitchen. Keep in mind that the Castorama kitchen will also offer it, no longer suggests a dining area. If you have a separate dining room, then this option will suit you as much as possible, since you can not only fit all the furniture, but it is also most useful to place household appliances on three countertops and in hinged lockers.
• Peninsular kitchens. It is difficult to say for sure the meaning of removing one object from the general line, but such a design is also encountered quite often. In addition, this technique is quite in demand in the design of a modern kitchen interior.

Most often, in the peninsular version, either a bar counter or a cutting surface is taken out, but this does not mean at all that a stove or a sink cannot be in the design of an interior solution. But this is already a professional solution and assumes: firstly, a large room, and secondly, several people working in the kitchen.

The peninsula is formed by a bar counter and a curbstone.

• Finally, the island. The classic island involves taking the sink, stove and cutting surface to the center of the kitchen. Naturally, for such an option, we will not talk about any kitchen-dining rooms, moreover, this technique is practically not used in small kitchens. In all honesty, let's say that this type of layout is closest to professional kitchens (it is allowed to take several stoves to the center of the kitchen, but this is clearly not a household use of the kitchen).

Naturally, the Castorama kitchen set will suit every taste and budget. That's why he is a hypermarket.

But, nevertheless, we will tell you some useful little things. Moreover, our selection is already ready.

Useful little things

Convenience in everything.

Are they there, these little things, or maybe these are the same important things that we do not pay attention to, calling them little things. Be that as it may, we will not go into polemics, but will voice exactly those little things that, in fact, turn out to be very, very important.

Namely:

1. The material from which the headset is made. It is clear that the price of a product directly depends on the material from which it is made and the gradation of chipboard - MDF - aluminum alloy, or special glass means its increase. We have repeatedly compared the materials from which the facades of the kitchen set are made.

And without going into details, but simply stating a fact, I would like to say that MDF is the most convenient of the economy materials, and natural facades are natural. They are both more expensive and in some cases more finicky.

1. Functionality and convenience. Progress is not marking time, but items such as partial extension drawers are still found. When choosing a kitchen set, pay attention to the fact that all drawers should open quietly, fully extend, without effort, which is called one finger.

1. Ergonomics and safety (see also article Ergonomics of the kitchen - we create a comfortable and practical interior). Although safety engineering is a boring and mundane add-on, it deserves to be. And, therefore, we pay attention to the following aspects. Work surfaces should be comfortable and well lit.

Even the kitchen-living room option should be ergonomic.

Note! There is one simple technique that allows you to express the concept of convenience in mathematical language. Namely, the distance between the tabletop and the forearms of the arms bent at the elbow joints and parallel to the tabletop should not exceed 15 cm. And the width of the table top should not be less than 90 cm, but its length can be any.

1. And once again about security. It is not advisable to place the cutting surfaces behind the stove. This is due to the fact that the slab in this case is the last resort, the less movements around it. All the better.

1. And more about saving money. You know perfectly well that questions of reasonable economy are possible and welcome. So here you can save money if you assemble a kitchen set with your own hands. In this case, make sure that the assembly instructions are available. Other ways of saving are not acceptable.

Finally

There is also an island in Castorama, a kitchen island, of course.

We have selected a photo with the expectation of acquainting you with the possible options presented in the hypermarket, and the video guide will also be very useful.
