You need to start decorating the kitchen with a carefully thought out plan for the arrangement of all elements. In order for your main room in the house to be as convenient and comfortable as possible, its planning must be based on your needs.

For this, it is better to divide the kitchen into the following zones:

• a worker where you will wash food and dishes, cook food, etc .;
• dining room;
• passage.

Working triangle

Competent layout of the working triangle

The working area takes up the main position. It includes cabinets and shelves where food and utensils are stored, surfaces for preparing and cooking food. Experts recommend placing a refrigerator kitchen sink and a stove next to work surfaces.

These three main elements are the so-called "working triangle", which is responsible for storing, preparing and preparing food.

The optimal area of ​​the working triangle ranges from 6 square meters to 7 square meters. Otherwise, you have to create unnecessary movements when moving between these three objects. If the triangle is less than 4 sq. m, this also causes discomfort due to tightness.

Internal furniture filling

In addition to the appearance of the kitchen, do not forget about its internal content. For example, for bulky dishes such as pots, it is better to make deep drawers under the stove. Products that take up a lot of space can be placed under work surfaces.

An important point is the additional installation of double sockets in the kitchen. They will be needed next to each desk, since now we have a lot of electrical appliances, and each of them needs to determine its place.

Advice!
It is best to place the sink, dishwasher and washing machine next to the water supply.
This will facilitate their maintenance and resolve the issue of communications transfers.
If you have a large family, it is worth considering installing a double sink.

Pay close attention to lighting. Ideally, there should be a directional light along the top row of cabinets along the panel below and a background light.

You can add elegance and lightness to the atmosphere with the use of multi-level open racks, corner shelves or open shelving. A very convenient and effective innovation is rotating corner cabinets such as a carousel or "magic corner".

The delivery of the necessary items with the help of such devices becomes very convenient and economical, since it requires almost no effort.

Arrangement of furniture

Organization of the space of a small kitchen

After you decide which items and kitchen equipment You need, there will be a question about placing all this on a certain territory. As everyone knows, the main drawback of our standard apartments is their small size.

By size, all kitchens can be divided into the following types:

• small - from 5.5 sq m to 8;
• medium, square from 8 meters to 10;
• large, with an area of ​​10 - 15 sq. m;
• very large rooms over 15 square meters.

In accordance with the size and location of the room, the optimal layout is selected for it.

In total, there are several basic types of furniture placement that allow you to achieve comfort:

• linear - in one or two lines;
• corner or L-shaped;
• in the form of the letter "P" or U-shaped;
• combined - "island" and "peninsula".

Linear kitchen

Linear placement in a small room

The location in one line is suitable for a small-sized room, designed for a maximum of one or two people. The working area will occupy half of the usable area. If the dining area is located in the same room, it is better to choose a pull-out or folding table. Otherwise, there will be no passage at all, and this is very inconvenient.

Note!
Such a layout will be convenient in a studio apartment, where the room is divided into zones "kitchen-dining room-living room".
Then the kitchen set is placed linearly in one part of the room, and the other is divided into dining and recreation areas.

A simple and compact layout is represented by the option of arranging furniture in two lines. It is best to place the stove and sink on one side, and the refrigerator and cabinets on the other. In this case, the distance between the lines of furniture should be at least 1.2 meters. Such a layout, with a limited area, also provides for a separate room for eating or the use of a movable table.

Corner and U-shaped layout

Corner furniture layout

1. The corner type of layout is suitable for almost any room, except for too narrow. By placing furniture and appliances on two adjacent walls, you can easily create a convenient working triangle. The dining area is located in the center or by the window. However, it does not interfere with the passage.

1. The method of placing furniture along three walls in the shape of the letter "P" is the most convenient and safe, as there is no through movement. In order to use such a kitchen as a dining room, it is necessary that the passage is about the same as half of the working area.

1. For a large kitchen, a combined scheme will be preferable, where an angular working area is used. The continuation of one of the lines will be a table, which is placed perpendicularly.

1. In kitchens-dining rooms, a short perpendicular of the table can divide the working and dining areas.. If you choose the right length of the table, you can achieve harmony in the correspondence of all zones - the working, dining room and aisle.

1. The U-shaped layout can also be used in a small kitchen from 5 to 9 meters. The main thing is that the distance between the lines should be at least one and a half to two meters.

Island and peninsula

An elegant island with a classic twist

Placing an island or peninsula is best suited for large kitchens over 16 sqm. The island is an addition to the corner or U-shaped model. That is, another work surface is installed in the middle of the room.

The main thing is to think over the layout very carefully so that there are no additional movements. This option looks very impressive, but its price can be significant.

The layout of large kitchen spaces also has its own challenges. It is more difficult to create an atmosphere of a single whole in them. Therefore, the kitchen-island plan was developed. Most often, a stove, a sink is placed in the center of the island, and a tabletop for breakfast remains along the contour.

The optimal size of the island is 1.2 by 1.2 m, the minimum is 60 by 90 cm. The shape of the island can be either square, rectangular or curved.

The following video instruction will help you with the arrangement of the most important room in the house.

Conclusion

According to one of the rules for arranging a kitchen, it is believed that for a convenient layout, its area, excluding table space, should be at least 8-10 squares. But many, especially typical kitchens are smaller. Therefore, only by taking up the layout with your own hands or by seeking help from a professional designer, you can create a truly beautiful and original kitchen.
