Visual expansion of small-sized kitchen

Compact kitchen Khrushchev - design can be designed in any style, but experts have thought overall recommendations.

1. The lighter the general solution of the kitchen color, so it seems more spacious room.Finishing veneer cabinets, natural wood or laminate DS P n od oak or cherry texture looks very noble.But in a small kitchen, these surfaces as it looms on all sides, narrowing the visual space.And if in the kitchen just to cook, and there elsewhere, then it is justified. Overall , perfect solution - light walls, ceiling and surfaces of kitchen furniture colors:

• white;
• milk;
• «coffee with cream";
• light peach;
• pale lilac;
• blue-gray;
• lime and anise (diluted);
• light lemon etc. .

This invoice surfaces can be anyone - from small cell under the "retro" or "country" to the figure of the noble white marble.Fashion prints can also be used, but not over the entire surface, it is better - in the lower part of the kitchen units, or only 2 - 3 surfaces.

2. The floors can be any color and texture, but the tiles in a checkerboard greatly narrows the limited space.It is important that flooring was practical and small area provides the opportunity to use the more expensive coverage, for example, self-leveling floors with an original visual effect.The compact kitchen it will be only a few square meters, which is within the modest budget of repair.And visually it will detract from the small kitchenette.

If you do not have enough wood textures in the kitchen interior - lay a waterproof flooring or laminate.Budget option - linoleum with amazing wood pattern.If there is a possibility of flooding, it is not necessary to take the linoleum on the insulation, it is better to find an alternative.

The compact kitchen looks very noble, any tile on the floor, it should blend in with the walls and the overall style.Small area of ​​the floor surface and can be decorated in a light marble granite or other stone.

Remember: Any large drawing or drawing a contrast visually breaks and reduces the space!An exception is the beautiful ornament on the floor in the center in the form of an elongated rhombus, pulling the visual surface.

Tip: Insulate small-sized kitchen on « warm floor" system, especially since the cable is not necessarily laid throughout the space - just under the parquet, tiles or laminate between work areas.It will cost quite inexpensive on a few meters.

3. The use of mirror and glossy surfaces visually expands the space.Excellent solution - glossy stretch ceiling is white, especially if it continues to light walls.Glossy or lacquered doors and countertops also visually add light and space.If the front door to the kitchen has a sufficient area of ​​the glass insert, it is possible to paste over the special foil or film , simulating mirror.Chrome-plated surface, accessories and fittings not only looks very elegant, but also add the total brightness.

4. Successful redevelopment and zoning are also able to significantly increase kitchen space.For example, a kitchen, combined with a loggia or a balcony, gives extra space at the right approach, but there is not to overdo it, so as not to destroy the bearing wall.The same applies to the wall, where the door is.

design of small-sized kitchen looks very original, if the input is designed asymmetrically, in the form of an arch, stone grotto or other structure of the original form.Using the principles of zoning of space, you can delineate and significantly transform the space for cooking and reception food, saving space.

Tip: Do not use in zoning podium and multilevel ceiling in a small kitchen - they will take away a certain amount of living space.

5. Minimizing planes furniture - another design reception to increase free space kitchen:

• worktop, combines the functions of the sill and a dining table;
• least hanging lockers and cabinets;
• transparent plastic chairs - special "chip" of contemporary designers;
• chairs or stools on thin metal legs;
• use the folding table top and seats .

oblong dining table is not always justified in the family for 2 - 3 people.It is quite a small square table, console or even a bar.In some families all eat at different times and in different points of apartments - in a chair watching television, a computer desk or on the couch for a coffee table.

6. Originally built-in lighting - another opportunity to free up space.This original and compact pripotolochnye chandeliers dot diode lamps and other modern methods of lighting .They are designed not only to significantly modernize the appearance of small-sized kitchen in Khrushchev , Disa dH etc. edusmatrivaet local illumination of the lower and working planes.Additional lighting fixtures provide a special effect - they would scatter and expand space.

As originally to solve the problem with a stove, sink and refrigerator

If decrease of kitchen furniture can somehow save space, you can not escape from the modern oversized refrigerator, sink and stove with hood.However, there are some interesting solutions, especially when it comes buying new appliances.

1. Gas stove - to its impressive dimensions are all used, if it is a traditional 4-burner stove with oven and grill.However, it should honestly answer the question himself:

• it often we use all 4- mja burners at the same time;
• use if baking oven;
• satisfied if we charge for the use of gas for standards based amount registered in the apartment?

In many cases, the owners arrive in the old - put a large gas stove, but use 1 - 2 burners and cakes make 1 - 2 times a year.Today, many of us often use assistive appliances:

• electric;
• microwave;
• coffee machine;
• electrical grill ;
• bread maker;
• multivarku etc. .

Perhaps it would be more practical to closely confine a small kitchenette modern-plates on the 2 heating elements, as well as convenient to use appliances more frequently.There is an opportunity not to pay for gas even , but also save a lot of space, taking into account the hood, pipe and gas counter .

Tip: If you can not do without the hood, it is best to set the slant, where the bell for the absorption of soot is diagonally - this form gives better access to the plate and takes up less space.

2. Refrigerator.If the family is small, and it is not accepted to stock a lot of products, it makes no sense to hold almost floor cuisine huge half-empty fridge.It is quite a small model and version of the horizontal cooler also has the right to life, if it will solve the problem of space.Sometimes the fridge put in the hallway next to a small-sized kitchen, freeing up space.In addition, a small fridge can be placed on the kitchen cabinet.

Tip: If the refrigerator is already a solid occupies part of the kitchen space, try to completely fill the entire vertical over it - hanging cabinets, shelves, or hidden behind the doors of the gas meter and communication.Do not place anything on top refrigerator itself, it violates its balance load and total work.

3. Wash - remove it nowhere, but it is possible to put a compact or concealed faucet (tap) and drain hose and the siphon fence off a shelf in the cupboard.In this niche is convenient to hide bin for rubbish, Cleaning tools and cleaning agents .As for the sink in the sink, it is best to confine the metal bowl . For a compact fill the space above the sink there is an option - at the rear to fix the hinged grate -dryer Plate.

Tip: At the bottom of the plane hanging lockers installed over the sink, it is wise to build in hooks (other holders) for the washed cups and other utensils.Only the hooks should be turn away from the face.

Compact kitchen Khrushchev : furniture design

Choose furniture for a small kitchen is difficult, especially because still be a place for the stove and refrigerator, table and stools.

1. The best option - to turn to a company that makes food to order size.Experts will come, will make accurate measurements, take into account all the wishes of the owners and opportunities this premises.But in most cases people buy ready-made cabinets and hanging lockers and on-site assembles, and the fact that not climbed - put in other places.

Tip: Do not try to accommodate the extra cabinet or wall cabinet, if they are cluttering up the kitchen.Individual modules can successfully attach to a hallway or closet , on the balcony or in the nursery.

2. Make update the facade of the kitchen - a more economical option.Not that important material and color of the inner "filling" of cabinets and pedestals, if it is possible to combine the same doors and countertops.Wooden doors limited space, especially when the solid facade, and glass doors and open shelves give more space visually.

3. When selecting chairs or stools for the small-sized kitchen is better to stop the choice on stackable models - when stools or chairs are collected by exposing each other stack.This is a convenient and compact version and in those cases, when the whole family comes to a close little room once a day - dinner together.When such a need furniture - chairs are laid out, and then the stack over and put up in one corner.

4. Relatively soft corner - it's always nice and comfortable, but do not always have a place for him.The compact model is ideal for the design of compact corner kitchen.But when buying these options is better to give preference to the lockers - folding seats, which open niches.These built-in "chests" can be added to the storage of kitchen utensils that are used infrequently or for the season -. Items for preservation, banks, etc.

In order to space and saving money can not buy a couch in the corner PLANNING ku ku hni and equip a certain similarity.It is reasonable to upholster the walls under the windows soft back under the seat, and it can be a solid or composite (individual stools).

Windows and doors in a small space kitchens

As discussed earlier, a small light in the kitchen should be a lot, and bright shades help to visually expand the space.Therefore it is necessary to prefer white plastic windows or laminate a light wood.Do not clutter the screen with numerous flower pots, especially on the shelves, it is better to restrict the broad low bowl with a collection of succulents a Japanese garden of stones or a pair of collection of violets.Minimum curtains, you can make on-screen, such as Japanese.And if blinds - only horizontal, that quickly rise up, wash them and in the kitchen easier.

relatively doors have many options, but they can not be used general with good extract.If in a modern apartment with a small kitchen zoning is used only as a nutrition unit for heating and quick cooking, it is enough for a small demarcation zones.If there is no drawing, the obstacles to smells can install glass doors made of thick tempered material.

Tip: All accessories can be purchased at any stroymagazine , cloth and cut at the nearest glass cutter at the same time make sanding ends and holes for mounting handles.
