In the recent past, furniture sets for the kitchen were produced in a strict configuration. And in the place had to be arranged as it turned out. But, of course, it was impossible to achieve perfection. The kitchen was not comfortable and functional enough.
Many craftsmen began to alter and complete elements themselves. But not everyone is able to create convenient additional modules with their own hands.
Kitchen set of modular type with open corner shelves.
And the furniture industry turned to face the consumer. Now the collections of any factories consist of modular headsets.
Constructor for your kitchen
What is a modular kitchen set? It is, in fact, a constructor for the fun of adults. Each collection contains different elements of the headset, which can be selected separately, choosing exactly those that are suitable for a particular kitchen space.
It doesn't matter where you plan to buy furniture - in a salon or an online store. Everywhere you can preliminarily familiarize yourself with all the configuration options for a particular set, choose the modules that suit you in size and functionality, choose the color and the ones you like kitchen fronts.
In a special program, you can choose the size and location of cabinets and pedestals.
Now there are many video helpers in the form of programs for the selection of a complete set of kitchen sets. It's very easy to work with them. On the sites of online stores there is always an instruction that will tell you the procedure, and in the salons - a salesperson, a consultant, and often a designer, are ready to help you. The main thing is to measure your kitchen well, and then select the elements and facades for the kitchen.
Main parameter
The most defining parameter when selecting typeface elements will be their width. Of course, parameters such as price, color, composition are also very important, but the main thing in the selection is to fit all the elements successfully into the kitchen space.
Please note that for different manufacturers, the step for changing the width of the lockers is different.
For some, this parameter changes after 5 cm. and you can pick up modules of different widths, others have all cabinets only with certain dimensions, for example:
- 45 cm;
- 60 cm;
- 90 cm.
You should always pay attention to this parameter, especially to assess the possibility of installing the selected built-in equipment in the headset.
Lower tier
Lower level drawer.
Consider which cabinets are located in the lower tier of the kitchen unit. They are called pedestals or floor units. Such cabinets are used for storing kitchen utensils and for installing built-in appliances.
The depth of the lower tier is usually 60 cm. They are located under a common kitchen countertop.
There are the following types of pedestals:
- standard, cabinet with kitchen shelves for storing pots, pans, food;
- a pull-out option, more convenient to use, since the mesh shelves with the items stored there can be pulled out;
- sink cabinet;
- special pedestals for built-in appliances.
Council. Household appliances designed to be built into modules have a sufficiently high power.
It is advisable to lay a separate cable to connect it. This must be done in advance, before the installation of the pedestals from the kitchen set.
Upper tier
Consider what are the modules of the kitchen unit of the upper, suspended tier. The width of this tier is narrower than the lower one and is 40 cm.
The upper hanging row is completed with the following types of lockers:
- usual, with shelves and fronts, for storing dishes;
- open, open shelves for decorative dishes and other decorations;
- for drying dishes, such a cabinet is equipped with drying metal shelves inside;
- for built-in appliances, it is rarely used, mainly for a microwave oven.
The photo shows the top row cupboard for drying dishes.
Council. Open decorative shelves are very convenient to use, they are easy to reach, and it is easy to remove the necessary items.
But do not get carried away with them, as dust and soot can accumulate on open shelves.
You will waste a lot of extra time in the cleaning process, rubbing all the items and the shelves themselves.
So a couple of open shelves are enough for a modern kitchen.
Column or pencil case
This is the name of tall cabinets, which are also present in sets of kitchen sets. They are available with different content and for different purposes. It remains only to choose the one that is right for you.
Here are the main pencil case models:
- for building refrigerators;
- with various pull-out and simple shelves;
- combined, with shelves and with built-in appliances (microwave, oven) installed at eye level.
Council. It is advisable to choose a built-in refrigerator at the same time as kitchen furniture, so as not to be mistaken with the size.
It should be borne in mind that for a normal level of air circulation, you need to leave a gap of several centimeters and not put the refrigerator close to the wall.
Decoration of the end of the kitchen row
End cabinet in the form of a rounded glazed display case.
Such modules decorate the facade and round the corners. They are floor and wall mounted, as well as in the form of pencil cases. Most end cabinets have a curved facade, open or glazed shelves.
The face of the kitchen
The facade of the kitchen is made of plastic coated with colored lacquer imitating antique furniture.
The face of every kitchen is undoubtedly its facade. The facade is called those elements that are in sight, on the front of the cabinets and drawers.
Facades are also selected individually from the set offered by manufacturers. And this set is expanding and new trends appear in the design of kitchen facades.
It is difficult even to list all the materials from which kitchen facades are made today:
- from natural solid wood;
- wooden frame with panels;
- from MDF boards with various coatings;
- from chipboard boards with various coatings;
- from an aluminum profile;
- from glass.
When choosing facades, the main thing is to observe a certain style in the assembly.
