Kitchen 3 by 3

Most of our kitchens leave a lot to be desired in terms of size. However, do not despair, because from any, even the smallest room, you can make a stylish giant.

So let's make the 3 by 3 kitchen design original, unusual and interesting.

Color solution

It has long been known that it is the color that affects our consciousness, oppresses or stimulates it. Therefore, the choice of color should be approached thoroughly. After all, the kitchen is one of the most visited places in the house and our mood for the next few hours depends on it.

Combination of blue with beige. A good example of the "white crow" refrigerator.

Advice! Red and the shades closest to it induce appetite. On the other hand, bright blue will help reduce appetite, which is suitable for people on a diet.

Tips for choosing colors

When choosing a color, it is worth remembering:

• Light colors visually increase the volume, while dark ones, on the contrary;
• Light colors are more reflective than dark ones, which helps to cope with the lack of light;
• Simple paintings such as trees and branches can also visually expand the space.

Lighting

When playing with light, you can achieve interesting effects. After all, light can be of various shades. Consider the options:

• Energy-saving lamps;
• Fluorescent lamps;
• Halogen lamps;
• LED strips.

Advice! Incandescent lamps, in the common people "Ilyich's light bulbs", should not be considered, not only because of their inefficiency, but also because they are prohibited by law in some European countries.

It is worth noting that if you have low ceilings (for example, suspended), you will have to give up classic lamps, because no one wants to look up every time so as not to accidentally catch on.

Energy saving lamps, like halogen lamps, have a different degree of luminescence:

• 2700K - Warmer light;
• 3200K - ordinary LON;
• 4200K - daylight;
• 6400K - colder light.

Of course, these are just the most common color temperatures. When choosing a light, you should, first of all, combine it with the choice of color. Those. the warm light will only distort the black elegance of the headset.

Often the hostess needs additional lighting directly in the working area; the design of the 3m by 3m kitchen will not suffer at all. For this, halogen spotlights are perfect, which can be easily mounted directly into furniture. Also, simple fluorescent lamps are suitable for this.

Designer options

Nobody forbids combining lighting means.

So, for example, you can highlight the main options for designers:

• Lighting is provided by one lamp on the ceiling, a classic version.
• The ceiling lamp illuminates the table and chairs, the spot lamp illuminates the entire hostess's workplace.
• Lighting is possible with a completely single luminaire, or with halogen lamps distributed over the entire ceiling. The ability to include separately and together.
• Adding to any of the previous LED strip options.

Using an LED strip as a complete lighting is problematic, but solvable. Moreover, it will give not only an original design, but also provide an opportunity to spend romantic evenings.

At the same time, the price is more than offset by pleasant surprise when turned on. She is mounted by her own hands easily and quickly.

Interior

There are many options for interior layout, let's dwell on the so-called L-shaped. Its meaning lies in the fact that it creates ideal work efficiency, storage - cutting - cooking, in a square kitchen.

The surfaces for working in it adjoin at right angles, while the sides should be 3 by 1.5-2 meters (kitchen design 3 m by 3 m provides for filling the entire wall with furniture), depending on the window and doors. What it looks like:

1. Refrigerator (storage)
2. Washing (cutting)
3. Stove (cooking)
4. Working space

Here the instruction is simple:

• The stove is placed closer to the sink, and the distance between them should not exceed 1m.
• The refrigerator should not be too far from the sink, but for our 3 by 3 kitchen this does not threaten.
• If the sink is on a corner, you will need to swap the stove and refrigerator.

Professional tricks

Consider the main actions with the interior to increase compactness, originality and style:

• Glass table. At the opposite wall, it will create a particularly strong visual increase in space if there is any drawing on the wall.
• Mirror. It will play an important role in increasing the volume of space, which will organically look among glossy surfaces, shiny walls and sparkling dishes.
• Transforming multifunctional structures. Ideal for small spaces. Indeed, if necessary, they are able to turn around so much that they can accommodate not only many guests, but all family members.

Time confidently strides forward. And the usual transformation gradually turns into a motorized one. This project video on our website will show how you can automate the kitchen interior.
