Most apartment owners cannot boast spacious kitchen facilities. A similar situation is characteristic of both the old and the new housing stock. Therefore, every owner sooner or later thinks about a more rational arrangement of space.
Kitchens of small apartments are multifunctional rooms. Here, food is prepared, and the whole family dines, and guests are received. When developing a project, you should find a solution in which every corner should be used to the maximum, but there is enough free space so that your family members can, without jostling, warm up.
Designs of small kitchens come in angular and linear versions. The convenience of the angular approach in arranging the working area is that the stove, refrigerator and sink are at arm's length from the hostess. She can only turn in the right direction. Corner cabinets, characteristic for such a layout of furniture, are much more spacious than conventional models. In order not to lose a meter of usable area, the windowsill is turned into a countertop.
With a linear approach, the main elements of the working area are arranged in a row along the wall. On the opposite side there is a table. Specialists who create designs for small kitchens advise you to buy folding models, which, if necessary, can easily be folded, freeing up space. But this project requires a radical re-equipment of the premises. You have to move the sink so that it is between the hob and the refrigerator.
When choosing furniture, abandon cumbersome options. Cabinets should be compact, hinged, with a mass of pull-out shelves and drawers. We change the stove to the hob, and a tall and
narrow refrigerator will free up a few more centimeters. Try to either install or install household appliances on hanging shelves or in niches. Get rid of excess accessories. They only collect dirt and litter the space. A beautiful pattern on a glass apron, interesting ceramic tiles do not take up much space and look amazing, creating a stylish design for
small kitchens. For
small apartments , the statement is true: the fewer things in the room, the more it seems.
Light color scheme helps visually expand the space. But do not turn the dining room into a kind of hospital ward. Bright details, which are successfully interspersed in the designs of small-sized kitchens, make it possible to achieve lightness and a modern appearance.
As for the stylistic solution, the hi-tech minimalism is ideal for small rooms. The abundance of glass, metal fittings, transforming furniture is an advantageous combination of beauty and practicality. The room acquires elegance, but it is easy to care for work surfaces, they are durable and durable.
The classic designs of small kitchens are distinguished by the use of natural materials. Hinged cabinets and bedside tables are made of wood. Choosing this style you need to adhere to restrained, without excessive decor of forms.
Lovers of comfort and simplicity will love country cuisine. The sink and stove line up in this case, as a rule, linearly. The rustic image is emphasized by light Roman curtains with a characteristic floral print.
