When planning the purchase of kitchen furniture, you need to carefully consider how to place the working areas, enter household appliances, choose materials without losing as a quality and durability. Consider the questions sequentially. According to the purpose of the kitchen, there may be “passing”-exclusively for cooking, kitchen-dining rooms-in addition to working surfaces, having a full-fledged dining table and kitchen studios, in which there is no partition between the living room and the food preparation zone. Having the initial dimensions and shape of the room, we select the layout: • L-shaped or angular, common convenient option for a square and rectangular kitchen. • P- figurative, with the location of the kitchen furniture along three walls. • in one line or two, where working zones are placed parallel to each other along the walls, without a dining area. • Island and peninsula. In the first, the kitchen island is taken to the center, in the second, bar racks are used as the peninsula. The next step in zoning the space. You can be guided by the rule of the “triangle” or the sequential placement of the refrigerator, washing and the kitchen slab, filling the space between them with working surfaces. This arrangement is quite logical: taking out products from the refrigerator, the hostess puts them on a working surface near the sink, then moves smoothly to the plate. Near the stove and sinks, it is rational to place boxes for cutlery and cabinets for dishes. In parallel, it is worth considering which built -in equipment will be needed, since it will be more difficult to enter it into a finished and installed kitchen. The rules are as follows: the refrigerator does not like close proximity to the stove and other hot surfaces, and it is better not to install the stove at the wall itself, so as not to wash it endlessly from oily spray. Choosing the color, as well as the material of the facades and countertops, it is worth taking into account their practical properties. On fashionable glossy and steel surfaces, fingerprints will be very noticeable, and getting rid of them will require effort. Countals made of naturally stone, marble and wood look spectacular, but they are not practical: materials have a porous structure, easily absorbing fat and dirt, sensitive to acids, high temperatures and shocks. Technological developments allow you to replace such materials with more practical, artificial. Particular attention in the configuration of kitchen furniture deserves the choice of internal accessories. Drawers in the form of boxes and dishwasher allow the maximum use of free space, they are spacious, fully advanced and easily accessible. When choosing them, the main principles are power, carrying capacity and reliability. For hinged cabinets, lifting mechanisms with a closer are recommended. It does not matter if there will be a kitchen from ready -made modules or is made to order these basic concepts will help to make it practical and functional.
