How to make the kitchen comfortable

Often, the greatest difficulties in arranging a kitchen space arise due to a lack of free space or a poorly executed layout. But to solve such a problem is quite realistic, if correctly and correctly choose furniture for the kitchen.

Moreover, today there are so many models and design solutions on the market that the choice of furniture will not be a problem. The most important thing is to have a clear idea about how your kitchen will look in the end; everything must be coordinated in it.

After you have decided on the list of furniture, kitchen appliances and their sizes, you need to dwell on the “technical” aspects of your kitchen: wiring, sockets, hoses (gas and water), ventilation and pipe sizes, as well as their location.

Usually furniture and appliances are purchased separately, in which case do not forget that appliances and furniture should create one horizontal workspace without protrusions and elevations. The usual depth of equipment is 60 cm, based on this, navigate already in the selection of furniture.

The main element in the kitchen among the furniture are tall cabinets used as pantries for food storage, as well as tall cabinets for inventory. When placing them, it must be remembered that such cabinets should not tear apart a single working surface, therefore it is not worth placing them along the edges of the working surface. It is better if they are placed nearby. Among other things, high pantries can be used to place an oven or grill in them. Moreover, the height of their placement, you can choose one that is convenient for you.

An equally important part of the kitchen is the floor cabinets. Depends on the height and convenience of these cabinetsFurniture arrangement in the kitchenhow tired you will be after cooking, so the choice of this type of furniture must be approached very carefully. To facilitate the cooking process will help drawers on roller structures. Also, you can stop your choice on boxes with the push to open function, which to the maximum level facilitate their use. Based on the foregoing, we can advise you to carefully consider the placement of floor cabinets in your kitchen: place the most frequently used utensils so that access to it is as simple as possible, for example, on sliding shelves-carousels, and less used - on ordinary shelves.

Do not forget that working is always easier while sitting. Therefore, it is worthwhile to provide a retractable shelf under one of the drawers on the working surface - this will make it possible to work with comfort and save free space of the kitchen. If the chair near the working surface will not hamper your movement in the kitchen, you can purchase a high bar stool.

A familiar and necessary element of the kitchen are hanging cabinets. They should be located above the work surface at a height of not less than 45 cm - this will allow you to freely place a microwave oven, toaster, combine harvester and other equipment on the work surface, and also create enough free space for cooking. The standard height of the hanging cabinets is 60 cm, but if you want, you can also purchase cabinets with a height of 90 cm (in this case, the cabinets will almost reach the ceiling). If the height of the room allows you to "move up", then the free space under the ceiling can be occupied by mezzanines.
