Sizes of kitchen corners

Compactness and functionality - these are the main criteria of kitchen corners that can solve the problem of footage in kitchens of different sizes. Of course, the kitchen corners were not invented yesterday, but it is precisely today that manufacturers surprise us with their design, size and additional functions. How to properly arrange furniture, reasonably beating the size of even a small kitchen area, expert advice will help.

What is a kitchen corner? First of all, this is a place where the family will not only have breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also receive guests. Therefore, the main requirement for furniture is convenience and functionality.

• Sofa. Usually it is angular, comfortable, is in almost every configuration.

• Chairs or stools. They are necessary in any case, however, in some trim levels they are not available, so they are often bought separately. Sometimes stools are equipped with a place for storing trifles, which is very convenient in a small kitchen.

• Table. It can be of any shape, depending on your requirements: round, oval, sometimes triangular. Prerequisite: proportionality with the sofa, otherwise the design will look ridiculous.

• Optional accessories: ottomans, pillows or benches.

Seats for kitchen corners are produced in two types: soft or semi-soft. The first option is more similar to standard sofa seats, while the second is a little tougher and resembles the seats of chairs. When deciding to buy the necessary furniture in the kitchen, first of all, you need to decide on the length of the sides of the kitchen corner. The generally accepted standards that buyers and sellers of furniture are guided by are from 140x110 to 140x200 with respect to a rectangular sectional corner.

The height of the furniture also almost always has a standard size: 80-90 cm. Of course, you can pick up or order a higher back of the product, then the whole kitchen corner will seem high. If your kitchen area allows you to place more overall furniture, then it would be logical to look at a larger kitchen corner in it. Custom size models can be ordered today without any problems, manufacturers will be able to fulfill any option.

The shops offer corners of various sizes, shapes and designs.

• Rectangular 3-section. Such corners consist of 2 sofas and a corner insert. All necessary inserts have different lengths. The analogs of the two sections are 2 sofas, located corner to corner with each other. Their sizes are 1000x1000 cm or 1200x1200 cm.

• Square. All sections are the same size, small. This is ideal for small spaces.

• Round. Basically larger dimensions than other designs. Suitable for non-standard kitchens.

The kitchen corner is the life-saving solution for a small kitchen room. The most compact size in this case is 110x110 cm. This design is equipped with many drawers for various small items, where you can also store cereals, potatoes or kitchen towels and napkins, which significantly saves space. In this case, there is no need to place an additional cupboard in the kitchen area. Everything you need will be at hand.

Behind the kitchen corner you can always place more people than on chairs, especially since such a seat is much more comfortable than a simple chair. For example, the depth of the sofa 50 centimeters is quite comfortable for vacationers.

You can choose a standard high-grade dining table in the set of a slightly larger size of 850x1500 mm, 1000x1300 or 1100x1600 mm. In any case, the dimensions and dimensions can be changed by ordering an individual kitchen corner. The model made by the letter “G” is especially popular. If you settled on a square shape of furniture, then you need to carefully weigh where the sofa will be installed.

Corners of small sizes produce non-separable or modular. The latter can be used in a complete design and individually. If your kitchen is very small, then manufacturers offer backless designs, and the pillows included in the kit are attached directly to the wall with a special adhesive tape. It is advisable to place the corner at a distance of a meter from the kitchen cabinets.

Of course, models with a berth deserve special attention. This is especially true in a one-room apartment, when guests suddenly rushed to you.

Corners with a berth have a number of indisputable advantages:

• such a model occupies a minimum of space, which significantly saves it;
• with a reasonable arrangement, that is, with the right angle of rotation and the size of the corner, you can create a pretty stylish design of the kitchen space;
• when buying such furniture you get a full berth;
• You can assemble such a furniture corner yourself, it will not be any difficulty.

If you have chosen a corner with a folding sofa, then remember that its length must be at least 180 cm so that a person can comfortably sit on it. There are models with smaller sizes - 110-140 cm.It is also necessary to take care of the proper seat height - at least 40-50 cm, but the depth should be from 50 to 70 cm.

If the kitchen corner becomes a permanent sleeping place for someone from the household, then it is better to choose a stable set with a durable mechanism and leather seats. If only guests sleep in the kitchen, then you can choose a model with a softer coating. Such corners are also equipped with convenient drawers, the cover of which are the corner seats. They can even store cans with conservation. However, due to the small footage of the kitchen, you will have to periodically move the table to take everything you need from the drawers.

Convenience and functionality do not always become criteria for choosing small kitchen corners. It is clear that all this furniture is adapted for eating, so it is important that the seat of the sofa and the back of the chairs are very comfortable for a long time. Non-standard sizes and options of such sets can also turn your small kitchen into a very stylish room. To order such furniture, it is necessary to calculate how many people usually sit at the table, whether it will be convenient for them to approach the corner, and whether the set fits into the overall design of the kitchen.

An important moment in this case will be the selection of accessories and textiles in the kitchen. For example, a marine-style kitchen will make your room quite unusual. Pillows a la vest add zest to the corner in blue and white.

In this option, you can choose a bright green seat upholstery, add bouquets. In a small room you can recreate the illusion of a coupe: a small table and 2 seats decorated in a minimalist style are sufficient.

If you are the owner of a spacious kitchen, then you can equip a U-shaped corner herewhile receiving a completely full-fledged zone for receiving guests and conducting intimate conversations. By adding a couple of chairs, here you can take a small group of guests. It is enough to decorate the walls in bright colors, even in white, and choose the upholstery of furniture in color or with an unusual pattern of geometric shapes. This will further expand the space, and unusual textiles will add a positive element to the kitchen.

A kitchen corner with hard seats will also look good. Here, various bedding and pillows will be superfluous, and the corner zone itself will be a temporary "haven" for eating in a large and spacious kitchen.

Many designers recommend placing the kitchen corner near the window opening with a magnificent view of the nature.

So, if you decide to decorate your kitchen space with a corner, first decide what size suits you. Here, height, length, width are important. Carefully measure the footage of the room and determine the place where the corner will be located.

Some owners use a loggia, an attached balcony or bay window for a kitchen corner, where a sofa can easily fit. The second point is the upholstery of the kit. This element can simultaneously spoil the appearance of the kitchen or, conversely, ennoble.

• Upholstery fabric can repeat the design of curtains in the dining area.
• Upholstery today is presented in a wide range. If you choose a soft sofa with fabric upholstery, then remember that the most common materials are velor, jacquard, plush or chenille.
• Microfiber with a teflon coating has proven itself perfectly - a material from which it is easy to wash all stains.
• Short-flock flock is less wear-resistant than microfiber, but also very practical, with a huge color scheme.
• Leather coating is a classic of the genre, it is a durable material, it is easy to care for the skin, but such a corner will fit only into a certain style of kitchen design.
• For many years, eco-leather has been breaking records for popularity; it is a fire-resistant material that visually resembles genuine leather, while being much cheaper.
• Both overall and miniature kitchen corners will look great with any of the above fabric upholstery, the main thing is to skillfully beat the color with the surrounding design.

The next moment is the material from which the kitchen corner is made. It is necessary that both the table and the lining of the sofa and chairs coincide in texture. It will be nice if outwardly the “wooden” design of your furniture differs in color shade from the floor. Manufacturers offer the following material options.

• Chipboard. A good budget option, depending on the laminated coating, can have any color. Of course, chipboard is less high-quality than wood, but visually this coating is very noble, especially if you pick up good quality upholstery to it.

• Wood. High-quality, natural and wear-resistant material, however, is far from a budget option. The most appreciated products are beech, pine or birch.

For a small kitchen, it is better to choose a kitchen corner with a table on one leg, this will facilitate the present process of "shrinkage" around the corner. As you can see, the kitchen corner is able not only to rationally use the footage of the kitchen, but also to make it a pretty stylish and comfortable area for relaxing and meeting friends.
