Straight kitchen sofa (42 photos), which one to choose

If we talk about upholstered furniture, then this type has long left the living room and moved to other premises. Sofas and armchairs can be seen today in offices, nurseries and kitchens. But this does not mean that they all have the same functional specifics. For example, a straight kitchen sofa is a special piece of furniture.

And there is nothing surprising here, because the kitchen has a specific functional content that is specific only to it.

Hence the specificity of the furniture itself, especially such as kitchen straight sofas.

• Firstly, it should be noted that the kitchen belongs to the category of "non-residential premises".
• Secondly, we still spend a long period of time here, especially the hostess.
• Thirdly, food is prepared here, that is, conditions are unfavorable not only for furniture, but also for other elements.
• Fourthly, the whole family often gathers here to have lunch, communicate, and solve pressing problems. Therefore, the load on the furniture is quite large.

• And if the apartment is small, then straight sofas for the kitchen are a place to relax, where you can retire and read a book or do small household chores.

Note. The last criterion suggests that a straight sofa for the kitchen should be comfortable in the first place. Therefore, it is often associated with the comfort of a home.

Criterias of choice

It was already mentioned above that the kitchen is a room where food is primarily prepared, so high temperatures are common here. And to cool this room, we sometimes install air conditioners in them or, in extreme cases, open the windows. And this suggests that the temperature difference is always present here.

The same can be said for humidity. Let's add odors here, here you have unfavorable operating conditions.

Therefore, when choosing a straight sofa for the kitchen, you need to pay attention, first of all, to the materials from which it is made. This mainly concerns the frame and upholstery.

Narrow sofas for the kitchen with a sleeping place - two in one. Read here.

Frame and upholstery

As for the frame, the best option is wood. Most often, pine, beech, oak, birch are used for this.

But in any case, it must be a dry tree, which is treated with special compounds before assembly. It is these solutions that will resist moisture during the operation of furniture.

The upholstery is also not easy. But most often manufacturers offer either fabric upholstery or leather.

Let's start with the leather material, after all, whatever you say, but it personifies nobility and refined taste. In addition to the fact that such a sofa has an impressive appearance, it has a high rate of long-term use.

Many years will pass, but it will delight you with its splendor and beauty all the time. But this is not all the advantages of this element of kitchen furniture.

Let's add here:

• The strength of the skin;
• Environmental friendliness;
• Practicality (it is not difficult to take care of such upholstery);

True, even such splendor and reliability are not without drawbacks. And the biggest drawback is the price. It must be admitted that leather straight sofas for the kitchen are not yet available to a large number of consumers.

Therefore, manufacturers began to produce a budget version, in which leather substitutes are used instead of leather. Of course, this is not leather, but this material, especially modern, will not yield to it in many respects.

Here and high strength, and great appearance, and a large range of colors (which is very popular with consumers), and an acceptable price. That is why straight sofas made of leatherette are so in demand and popular today.

As for the fabric upholstery. Nowadays, mostly kitchen sofas are upholstered in jacquard. What it is? This fabric is lint-free, very dense, which is made using the technology of complex weaving of threads.

Her advantages:

• High wear resistance;
• Jacquard does not fade or rub off;
• Decent appearance.

Shinill is another type of fabric upholstery. Here natural (cotton) and synthetic threads are woven into a single fabric. Therefore, this fabric is very durable. Flock (fabric) is also not inferior in its characteristics to the materials described above.

Design features

If we consider kitchen sofas, then, most likely, in their size they resemble benches, of which they are distant relatives. If you compare them with analogs that are installed in living rooms, then they look narrower, but they feel tougher.

Currently, the modern furniture market offers a fairly wide range of models, where it is necessary to note two models that are completely different from standard types.

1. Straight kitchen sofas with a drawer (see. photo below).
2. With a berth.

The first model is the traditional kitchen straight sofas, which contain a spacious drawer. Their functionality becomes higher, and this is an important aspect of the issue of choice. Say what you like, but in the kitchen there is always not enough space for utensils.

The second model is not a folding sofa, which we often purchase for other rooms. But its design is designed in such a way that the seat simply reclines, creating a place to sleep. Convenient and simple.

Such sofas help out if there are too many guests staying overnight, and there is not enough space in the house.

Custom sofas

Sometimes it is very difficult to find a ready-made sofa for the kitchen, which is why the “custom-made furniture” service is so popular and affordable today. What is required of you?

You have to take measurements with your own hands of the area of ​​the kitchen where the sofa is supposed to be installed. With these dimensions, you come to the workshop, where the designer, with your active participation, finds the model that you like the most.

You just have to pay and wait. A few days will pass and you will become the proud owner of a brand new sofa that will delight you for years.
