Furniture placement

The layout of the area of ​​6 square meters. meters, intended for the organization of the kitchen, should begin with the choice of the type and design of furniture and place for it. After all, this element will occupy the largest amount of free space.

The interior should be roomy enough to hide all the accessories and accessories necessary for cooking and eating.

Few people like it when pots and pans are placed throughout the kitchen, and each guest can see things that are not intended to be shown. Therefore, all these items should be able to get inside the cabinets. Each work surface, all appliances and the kitchen table should be given free access. The space should be organized comfortably and ergonomically, so that everything is easy to get without moving the furniture.

The positive point of a small kitchen can be considered, the fact thatthat with proper organization all the devices and objects will be easily accessible to the hostess. Agree that it is very convenient when you can cook dinner, on the spot.

Design options

Interior designers offer a fairly large number of options for arranging furniture on six squares. One of the tips is the location of the dining area near the window opening or in a free corner. Such an arrangement will make the place for meals most convenient. A kitchen unit is an essential element of a cooking room. Here are some solutions offered by professionals to accommodate this weighty part.

  1. Placing near the wall is traditional in our conditions. This configuration is linear. It is good in that it allows, occupying one side of the room, to leave others as free as possible. However, the kitchen "Khrushchev" is characterized by a small length of the walls, and placement along one of the walls may be insufficient. In this case, designers can offer a project in which the missing parts of the headset will be placed against the opposite wall and the cabinets will be parallel.The free corner or place near the window is reserved for the organization of the dining area in this embodiment.

  2. Corner headsets are also a common solution for small spaces. In this embodiment, the furniture is located in two adjacent perpendicular walls. This design leaves a maximum of free space in the far corner. This allows you to place there a dining table and chairs, as well as large household appliances, such as a refrigerator.

  3. A good solution for a small dining room is getting rid of one of the walls. So you can significantly expand the space by connecting the kitchen to the nearby room. This way you can create an interior studio. But, having decided on such a significant redevelopment, you need to make sure that the wall you want to get rid of is not a carrier. Otherwise, such a redevelopment will not only be illegal, but also represents a danger not only for your family, but also for all residents of the entrance. After connecting the zone in the resulting studio room will help to distinguish between partitions, screens and certain types of furniture.

  4. Without breaking the room of the next room, you can expand the kitchen, taking advantage of the space of the glazed balcony or loggia. After such an extension, kitchen furniture can be positioned much more conveniently due to a significant increase in free space. Do not forget with such redevelopment about modern insulation and sound insulation of walls.

  5. Refrigerator - an integral part of any home. Placing this large-sized appliance in a corridor or another room is often a necessary, but completely inconvenient solution. Therefore, planning a kitchen with a refrigerator is quite a complicated but important task. Designers advise to place this device at the end of one of the lines of the kitchen set, or in the corner of the room. The sink, stove and oven must be located at the opposite wall or along the diagonal line in order to realize the correct design triangle.

Installation of home appliances

Placing other elements of household appliances is a much simpler task. The stove and the sink can be located anywhere in the headset; only your desire and the location of the gas and water lines of communication affect their position. Will perfectly fit into an interior and the built-in cooking surfaces and ovens will save an empty seat.The oven of this configuration can be placed anywhere, including making a choice in favor of the upper cabinets, so its contents will be in front of your eyes, which is quite convenient.

If you decide to equip a kitchen with a dishwasher, this is best done in an embedded format. The top of the machine will be closed by a tabletop, on which you can place the necessary things or cook. And the door can be disguised as a cabinet, which will make the device invisible and not affecting the design of the room.

The situation is also becoming frequent when the bathroom and toilet in small apartments also have scanty space, just like a kitchen.

In this case, the space of the kitchen and dining areas have to accommodate a washing machine, because there is nowhere else to fit it. If the reality is so cruel, it is better to deal with it, as with a dishwasher, and close the top countertop. It is necessary to select furniture of the appropriate height. Or vice versa: the devices, although they usually go about the same dimensions with regard to such needs.

Geyser is still an integral part of many apartments. On the one hand, it is very convenient.You can plan the temperature in the apartment and turn off the heating yourself, depending on your needs. However, it is required to place also a rather large column itself. Traditionally, it is located at the top of the wall. For beauty, it can also be hidden under a wall cabinet. However, remember that proper ventilation and space between the walls of the column and the cabinet must be ensured. Ask the gas services about security measures that you must and strictly follow.

Small electrical appliances can be removed in cabinets and get out of them as needed.

However, they can be placed on the tabletop, if you use them quite regularly. Manufacturers specifically make attractive the design of this technique so that it does not need to be constantly hidden. Due to this, convenience is increased, the appearance of the interior does not deteriorate, and on the table they do not take up much space due to its modest dimensions. It is only necessary to remember that such devices need to be connected to the network. Therefore, you need to choose a place for them near the outlet. Or, when repairing, make enough number of outlets at a convenient height for a toaster, a coffee maker, a slow cooker, a microwave oven and an electric kettle.
