Kitchen to the ceiling: types and uses in the interior

Cozy cuisine is the key to pleasant family evenings. To make such a room cozy, you need to properly arrange it, equipping it with comfortable and functional wardrobes. Today, the kitchen to the ceiling has become quite popular. And this is not in vain, because it is considered one of the best options for improved ergonomics of the kitchen space.

The modern kitchen to the ceiling has many advantages, which, in turn, allow you to close your eyes to all the shortcomings.

1. First of all, it is beautiful and fashionable.
2. Such headsets look quite elegant and elegant. Even if there is a small gap between the ceiling and the cabinets, they hide it behind the cornice.
3. Tall floor-to-ceiling cabinets provide plenty of extra storage space for various kitchen utensils.
4. Dust will not accumulate at the very top of the cabinets, while cabinets that do not reach the ceiling are an open shelf that must be cleaned every day.
5. The work area will look not only beautiful, but also holistically.

But, like everything in this world, the kitchen to the ceiling has disadvantages, among which the following should be noted.

1. Their price is slightly higher than ordinary kitchens. And this is explained simply: more materials are needed to make such furniture.
2. It will be difficult to get to the upper shelves, but still possible. It is necessary to substitute either a chair or a small staircase. However, not everyone can afford it, and for this reason, the upper shelves or drawers often remain empty.
3. If the kitchen is small, then it will seem too busy, which will make it not as comfortable as we would like.

There are two options for such kitchen sets: mounted and floor.

They are tall columns-cabinets that occupy almost the entire space from the floor to the ceiling. Such furniture perfectly serves both for storing kitchen utensils and for installing household appliances in it. For example, very often behind the facade of such cabinets you can see the built-in refrigerator or dishwasher.

Quite popular are three-piece cabinets in the entire wall. In this case, the upper as well as the lower part of such furniture are used to store food and kitchen utensils. The part in the middle is used to house appliances, such as a coffee maker, microwave, or food processor. Most often, the dimensions of such cabinets are as follows:

• height - from 210 to 235 centimeters;
• depth - from 40 to 60 centimeters;
• width can be 40, and 50, and 80 centimeters.

In such kitchen units, the upper cabinets are mostly used for storing spices, bulk products or cutlery. Most often, such mezzanines are located in the upper row of the kitchen. In addition, such kitchen sets can be either modular or consist of several cabinets arranged in two rows. The second option allows you to significantly increase storage space. Dimensions of wall cabinets are as follows:

• depth - up to 30 centimeters;
• height - from 90 to 120 centimeters;
• width starts from 30 and can reach up to 90 centimeters.

In addition, such designs are usually supplemented with shelves. They are most often used as a stand for dishes and represent a metal structure on which the devices are installed.

Besides, narrow, extendable shelves are often supplemented with special containers for containers. This is very convenient, since all their contents are always in sight. This saves time. Such shelves are placed either between the columns, or close to the wall cabinet.

In corner kitchens, drawers or drawers are used. But also they can be found in closets-columns. Lockers can open in various ways. Most often, they have swing wings. They can be both horizontal and vertical.

You can also find a lifting facade. When such a cabinet opens, the sash rises. As a lift, elevators or special gas shock absorbers are most often used. Such a cabinet is always without handles. Of course, the cost of such cabinets is much higher than classic.

In the modern world, different materials are used to make kitchen furniture.

The most common material. At first glance, such furniture seems to be of high quality, but in fact it has a slight minus - this material is loose and weak. For this reason, you will have to very often tighten the headset mounting hardware.

The advantage of this material is its durability. By itself, it is quite strong, so it can be processed in any way. In addition, plywood furniture looks very attractive.

It consists of natural wood, or rather, from its pieces. Its advantage is environmental friendliness and naturalness, which is very important in the modern world. The disadvantages of the material are not ideal quality. As an example, a kitchen made from such a shield may crack due to excess moisture.

You can use furniture to the ceiling in almost any style.

If the room is decorated in this style, it is best to purchase glazed facades.If the ceiling height is more than 2.5 meters, then the upper compartment must be made deaf. In addition, experts recommend placing it with a cornice. This will help to hide the gap between the ceiling and the top of the cabinet.

Provence can be attributed to this style. It can alternate open shelves with glazed and dull compartments. Shelves that are covered with beautiful flower curtains or small peas will look very nice. Best of all, this stylistic solution is suitable for the upper compartments of the headset.

In almost all modern styles, it will be preferable to use cabinets with blank facades and small glazed compartments. In styles such as Art Nouveau or hi-tech, everything must be done strictly proportionally. And the kitchen to the ceiling is a great solution. Since there is no gap between the ceiling and the cabinets, the headsets form a solid wall. And small niches or compartments only structure it. The color of headsets in this style is most often white or black.

Having decided to purchase a kitchen set for the ceiling, you need to approach the issue of choice very carefully. The main thing is that all the modules are of high quality and combined with the style of the kitchen itself.

To place such headsets in the interior, it is very important to consider the height of the walls in the apartment. In a small kitchen, furniture to the ceiling will allow you to put all things in the cabinets, which will make the room not so cluttered. However, initially you need to think about how to correctly place all the details of the kitchen set so that the small space is not too cluttered.

It is worth abandoning freestanding cabinets, as well as volumetric decor in the room. In addition, you can play with the color palette. White or pastel shades are perfect for a small room.

Thinking through the design of kitchen facilities takes a lot of time. After all, one wants to make the kitchen a place not only for eating, but also for relaxing in the company of loved ones.

A corner kitchen set to the ceiling in this case would be a great solution. It will fit all the kitchen utensils. This will immediately save space. In addition, tall cabinets will visually increase space.

If the kitchen occupies a large area, then designers will have something to do. In this case, the option with a kitchen to the ceiling will be the most correct decision. Indeed, in such a headset you can put all things, as well as all kitchen appliances. A kitchen decorated in white or beige will look especially beautiful. This option looks stylish and simple.
