In specialized shopping centers there is a large selection of furniture for every taste. However, in this assortment it is difficult to select samples that would fit perfectly into the interior of the room. Practice shows that author's design projects spoil the situation. Make soft kitchen corners with your own hands, if you have the appropriate materials and a non-professional power tool is easy, there would be a desire.

It is necessary to start with drawing up of the general concept and the plan of works. We will need drawings of kitchen corners, which can be found in specialized catalogs. Images with detailed details can be done on their own. In the same catalogs you can find instructions with patterns of all the necessary details for assembling a quality corner for the kitchen.

Tools and materials

For work that is better organized in the workshop, we will need equipment and tools:

1. Fret saws with electric drive and nail files with small teeth for cutting chipboard;
2. A drill with a smooth frequency adjustment or a screwdriver with a set of cues and drills of different diameters;
3. Stapler furniture with sets of staples measuring 10 × 8 mm;

1. Laminated and non-laminated chipboard;
2. An upholstery fabric such as a tapestry, spandex or kozhvinil.

Cutting details

The author's soft kitchenette has a base of chipboard with a thickness of 16 mm. Using an electric jigsaw it is necessary to cut a sheet on a table or workbench. There should be a free space under the sheet, which allows you to drill precisely along the line. The general rule of nesting: the hidden parts are made from a cheaper non-laminated chipboard.

Kitchen corners with their own hands are assembled since the tightening of seats and their backs. For these details, the operation is performed as follows: on the sheet of foam rubber we put the component part and cut the excess. The stock of fabric is made so that it can be wrapped and fastened along the contour.

While making a soft kitchenette in the workshop, it is recommended to diversify the soft parts. Pads are formed as a result of the attraction of tissue and foam rubber with the help of cloth or leather buttons. Panels are drilled in places of installation with an electric drill.
