Kitchen with a portal (39 photos): video instructions for choosing with your own hands, an example of classic designs, price, photo

How many types of kitchen sets does the modern furniture market offer today? It is probably impossible to count. Furniture designers are now ready to offer such views, such shapes and sizes that you are amazed that all this is possible (it's a pity that twenty or thirty years ago, all this was not).

But, as experts assure, it is necessary to select a kitchen set exactly in accordance with the proposed interior design of the room where it will be installed.

Portal in the kitchen set

The variety is huge - no doubt about it. But the classics are exactly what will fit, in principle, in any kitchen interior design. True, even in this style you can always find something that will be considered exclusive. For example, classic kitchens with a portal.

Portal in the kitchen set

What is this kitchen portal? Pay attention to the photos posted on this page of the site, look carefully at what forms all kitchens have headsets, where there is one distinctive and characteristic feature (shape) in the form of a superstructure above the hob with a formed niche. This is the very portal we are talking about.

Nice and functional

The original solution in the form of a kind of element turned out to be not only a design element, but also a piece of furniture that performs a large number of functions.

For example,

• Here a hood for the kitchen is installed;
• A large number of shelves are placed in vertical small pencil cases;
• Perfectly mounted lighting that completely illuminates the hob;
• It is possible to increase the usable space of the headset by hanging it over the portal kitchen cabinets.

Attention!
The kitchen portal is installed not only above the hob, it can be placed anywhere you wish. By the way, there are such photos here too.

Kitchen Design

You can use this design element in almost any style. It is important here to correctly arrange it. And if you have chosen a classic kitchen, then the best option would be to design the portal in the form of a niche framed by shelves and pencil cases. Straight lines must be present here.

Classic kitchen style

If the Art Nouveau style is chosen, then this element will have to be decorated in the form of columns, balustrades. The artistic approach to this direction is completely different. Here you will have to use streamlined shapes, rounding, where it becomes possible to install small beautiful designer accessories in the form of flowers, all kinds of patterns, and more.

As it usually happens, modernity first of all gives us external beauty, while not forgetting purely functional qualities.

But in the hi-tech or techno style, the portal in the kitchen will be in the form of metal pillars, between which metal or plastic open-type shelves are installed. It would be a stretch to say that such a design is functional, but this approach is required precisely by the style that cannot be avoided.

Sometimes a question arises that concerns two types of wall cabinets. Imagine how you can arrange two types of cabinets (vertical and horizontal) to form a kind of portal.

That is, two wall cabinets are hung on the wall near the hob on both sides so that the latter is between them. Above the hob, a horizontal wall cabinet is hung flush along the upper edge with two vertical cabinets.

Plasterboard portal with hood

A rectangular opening is formed, which is created by the lower edges of the three cabinets. So should this be considered a portal or not? Most probably not. This is just the design of kitchen furniture, and it has nothing to do with this element.

Materials for the kitchen portal

What materials can be used to make a portal for the kitchen? It will be too easy to answer that made of the same material as the furniture itself. Although it should be noted that most often manufacturers do this. But, as practice shows, consumers do not always buy ready-made kitchens.

What are you talking about. For example, in your own apartment in the kitchen there is already a set that satisfies you in all respects. You are not going to change it, but you would like to change the interior design using the portal.

What to do?

• Firstly, it is possible to change the headset itself by installing a separate portal as part of the kitchen furniture element.
• Secondly, it is not necessary to use the materials from which the furniture is made (wood, MDF or laminated chipboard). You can use cheaper options (the issue price will be lower). For example, drywall or plastic.
• Thirdly, you can order a portal element in any furniture workshop that the masters will install for you, or you can do this process yourself (there is nothing complicated about it).
• You can build it from plasterboard with subsequent finishing.

The portal is not above the hob

And here we advise you not to do anything on your own. Shift the burden of responsibility onto the shoulders of highly qualified specialists.
After all, the environment around the hob is aggressive, where a solid and safe construction is required.

Conclusion on the topic

Considering photos and videos of a kitchen set with a portal, it is necessary to pay tribute to this design element. Whatever you say, but the furniture becomes presentable, unusual in shape and design. Especially such a set will look good in large kitchens, where you can beat this element with others, creating an unusual, one might even say, some kind of non-standard in the general setting kitchen.

If you decide to install just such a headset, then let our article be for you as an instruction for use.
