Kitchen As The Epicenter Of Life
Food plays a huge role in creating home comfort. Here, we spend much of our life, especially when it is functionally combined with the dining room and even the living room. The kitchen creates a mood of the inhabitants of the houses, and in many cases forms their relationships. That is why, it is so important to choose a kitchen design that matches the nature and habits of its owners. Only then, the kitchen will bring joy and inspiration, filling the house with warmth and love.
Deciding factor in choosing layout of a kitchen is the area of the premises. A small kitchen can not be accommodated all the elementary, we’d like to have on hand. And yet comfortable and functional kitchen can be any size. And the traditional ways of arrangement of furniture and appliances in the kitchen there is not much.
When the size of the kitchen is very modest or part of the premises allocated under the dining area, use a single row (linear) placement of furniture. This plan does not strictly appropriate only for kitchens, reminding of a long, narrow corridor. Here, furniture, built on the line, give the room an even more elongated form. Equally popular for the small kitchens are angle (L-shaped) configuration sets. If we evaluate the usability, the angular placement of furniture in small-sized kitchen is the most optimal. In both cases, the furniture is compact set in one part of the premises, freeing up the remaining space for a dining area and reception. In any case, in a small kitchen is not recommended to hang a large number of cabinets on the wall. This is a heavier kitchen, it will “eat” the light and create discomfort.
All kinds of kitchen design require its considerable size.
Kitchen with solid dimensions (15 m2) is a calendar of more extensive design. If the kitchen has a shape similar to a square, it looks good on the two-row (parallel) plan, in which the furniture is installed along two opposite walls. If, however, to set furniture along the third wall (U-shaped layout), it will create a very comfortable “working triangle”. If the kitchen is smaller, but want to apply it as U-plan, it must be remembered that between the ends of furniture should be a minimum distance of 1,5-2 m.
More rare for a traditional kitchen layout options are “Peninsula”, “island” or “atoll”. “Peninsula”, is often shaped bar, an ideal shared kitchen and dining room or living room. “The Island” is created, when making the working area in the center of the kitchen. Such “island” can be approached from either side, creating a special convenience for cooking. Installed in the center of furniture and appliances visually balanced suspension part of the “island” is a frame or island-shelf. Atoll is the most rare option plan, similar to the ring, open on one side. With such planning prepares a person feels in the center of a peculiar universe.
One of the innovations in kitchen design is unfixed (free) set of modules. In this case, many elements of the situation set on wheels. Tables, individual lockers, bars, refrigerators – all this can be moved, each time transforming the interior. During cooking, you can move up to your desired part of the situation, and then free up space, moving it into a corner.
Rational arrangement of the kitchen, where all necessary elements are placed optimally with respect to man and each other, create the same spirit that is so necessary for the creation of culinary delights and good mood.
