The kitchen in any house is a place where you have to spend a lot of time. Modern kitchens in their functionality today are more reminiscent of a small household plant. There should be a plate, a dishwasher and washing machine, and an ironing board, and a refrigerator. And how sometimes it is difficult to accommodate all this gentleman’s set into the narrow walls of a small kitchen. But there is also furniture! And with her how to be?
There is a way out – it is quite simple and can do anyone who want to turn their small kitchen into a cozy and functional room. If there is no way to expand the kitchen space physically, then you can do this visually.
Firstly, in the kitchen itself you will have to leave a minimum of household appliances-the washing machine can be installed in the bathroom, and the refrigerator in the corridor. Secondly, the amount of furniture: it is better to install two large kitchen cabinets with many shelves and departments, than separately furnished with furniture of small dimensions. Hinged shelves should be with vertically opening doors. Well, if the doors themselves are transparent, glossy or even mirror. Such a facade will allow you to “push” the walls and add to the light of light.
Another way to “raise” the ceiling is the height of the furniture. If one kitchen pencil case is above the rest of the furniture, then the impression of a high ceiling will be created – the kitchen will simply grow before our eyes.
By the way, the color of kitchen furniture is also of great importance – dark tones will crush, and too bright – cause the effect of narrowing and approaching walls. The furniture of pastel, calm tones is best suited for a small kitchen, and it is desirable that some two colors dominate-say, white and blue.
If possible, abandon the recreation area in the kitchen – the kitchen corners or ottoman will only clutter up and so a small room. But the kitchen table is desirable that it be oval or round in shape – everything is for the same reason – it is visually smaller than its rectangular twin. And if such a table also has a glass countertop, then outwardly it will generally seem weightless. Unforgettable in the same way about the windowsill. It can quite be converted under a cutting table or used as an additional shelf for a microwave or dishes. And if you hang a special shelf in the corner for storing the covers from the pan, then the pots themselves can be stored alone in one-a place for something important to be released for something important.
The main thing is that you do not need to give up – they say, the kitchen is small – because everything in the world is relative. Sometimes in a huge house you cannot find peace of mind.
