Interior of a small kitchen in the home

What mistress does not dream of a huge kitchen? That was where to turn around when cooking, the family at dinner to gather, and tea and girlfriends to drink, if a visit will look.

Modern architects heard these wishes. We must give credit, today's kitchens are often even larger in size than living quarters. But many of our compatriots are still forced to huddle in "Khrushchev" and "Brezhnevka". And there the kitchens, as you know, are just tiny. Willy-nilly, hands fall, when looking at a mink in size one and a half to two. But designers assure us that this is not a reason for despair. The interior of a small kitchen can also be stylish, beautiful and modern. With the correct organization of space, the place will be found for everything and everyone.

Before you start to repair, it would be nice to decide what exactly you want to see in the end. The interior of a small kitchen can be solved in a wide variety of styles, but the most common options are hi-tech, classics and country. However, you can choose any other. There are no special restrictions here. Unless the pompous renaissance in the interior of a small kitchen does not fit, because it's too bulky.

It is not at all necessary to make room for cooking in the same vein as the whole apartment. However, it is desirable that there is no strong difference between them, otherwise your dwelling in the eyes of the guests will look like a "hodgepodge".

So, let's start creating a design project. Arm yourself with a tape measure, a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler. First of all you will need to measure the perimeter of the room, the distance between the corners and the window frame, the width of the window sill. Since the interior of a small kitchen is subject, first of all, to the goal of saving space, every centimeter should be used.

As a rule, rarely anyone starts re-planning from scratch. Surely, there are already things in the house that you want (or need) to keep. For example, household appliances: refrigerator, microwave, stove and so on. Their location, too, does not hurt to determine in advance. Usually the most cumbersome thing in the house is a refrigerator. Most owners of compact "Khrushchev" look for him a place outside the kitchen area. Thanks to this, a decent "piece" of space is released.

To transfer from place to place a gas stove you are unlikely to allow someone. The situation of the shell can be changed, but the matter is too troublesome. Therefore, their presence in a certain place take for granted, in the design of space, build on this. For example, the place of the cutting table is most conveniently defined between the sink and the stove, or in the immediate vicinity of the first.

In the interior of a small kitchen in "Khrushchev" standard furniture is hard to write, so it's better to make lockers and shelves to order. With this approach, you have the ability to equip additional storage areas at your discretion.

Pay attention also to the compact transforming furniture: folding chairs, folding table tops, sliding pedestals on casters.

Do not forget about the so-called "dead zones". This space in the corners of the room, between the window and the wall, under the windowsill. In spacious rooms, their use does not make much sense, but the interior of a small kitchen involves non-standard solutions.

The dimensions of the room dictate your own conditions, you will have to consider them, whether you like it or not. For example, when equipping a small kitchen, it is better to abandon furniture with sharp angles and give preference to smooth, streamlined forms.

If the room can not be enlarged in width, you need to try to "push the boundaries" of space, rushing up. The mezzanine and even open shelves can be placed under the ceiling. Of course, storing things there that you use daily is hardly convenient. But they will most likely not be empty.

Well, the last tip. Design for a small kitchen should be as concise as possible, however, this does not mean that you need to choose boring and practical things. Revive the interior will allow bright colors. Remember that many shades and textures allow you to visually model space, creating the illusion of space.
