From the shortcomings of the furniture from the array, we highlight:

• increased requirements for the quality characteristics of the wood used;
• thoroughness in the choice of style and design elements.

The standard range of kitchen furniture does not always make it possible to choose exactly what the buyer wants. In these cases, it is convenient to opt for modular furniture. Modules allow you to optimally fill the space of a room of any size and configuration, taking into account personal wishes.

Modular headset designs are a set of furniture elements (cabinets, shelves, countertops, frames for built-in appliances, etc.). Such elements allow not only combining, making up a convenient modular system, but also successfully supplementing or replacing failed elements.

Modular furniture designs have a number of advantages.

1. Ability to create optimal options for kitchens of small sizes ("Khrushchev").
2. Easy assembly and disassembly. Modules are easily assembled and mounted independently.
3. Versatility. Easy replacement of one module by another or their movement.
4. Functionality. You can choose any types and number of modules, choose their overall parameters and design features, combine the modules as you wish.

Popular types of modular kitchens are:

• single row;
• double row;
• angular.

Single Headsets They are installed along the wall in one row, perfectly fit into small kitchens, allowing you to optimally design the kitchen space. The length of such kitchens is not more than three meters.

Double row They are used for large kitchens, and the modules can be located along parallel walls, and near one wall or in the center of the room. Optimum zoning of the kitchen space makes the cooking process more convenient and easy.

Corner kitchen options are more suitable for spacious rooms and are available in two types: U-shaped and L-shaped, and more suitable for spacious kitchens. Corner modules are spacious.

Kitchens from natural massif are made from many types of trees (from cherry, walnut, larch, alder, oak, etc.) and any of them has its own unique pattern, structure and properties. In this case, rare wood species are also used (tiglio, tulipier - tulip tree, anegri and others).

Ash has a special structure, freshness and energy, furniture from which is durable. For furniture made from this material, usually simple and smooth lines of facades devoid of decorativeness are typical.

The embodiment of stability, prosperity, reliability and comfort are the kitchens from the oak massif. A variety of color designs and high strength qualities give these products a special solemnity and elegance. Solid oak furniture is not subject to deformation, tolerates moisture differences, and fits perfectly into most interiors.

Beech is a common type of material for the manufacture of kitchen sets. Beech furniture is strong and durable, it is well tinted in any colors according to individual orders. The material has a fine structure and exquisite color shades that bring special comfort to the room. The latest technologies provide an opportunity to purchase a beech set of an unusual smoky color.

An ideal kitchen option for true lovers of comfort and classic styles will be a set made of alder. This furniture is characterized by a restrained style in accessories and accessories, and the lack of decor and pretentiousness in detail suggests its use in classic versions.

Headsets made of pine are popular for the cheapness of the material and its excellent characteristics. Allocating special volatile fruits into space, the pine tree improves the indoor microclimate, strengthening the body's immunity. Strength characteristics of the material are excellent, since the production uses exclusively mature trees about 100 years old. Pine is hypoallergenic and aesthetic.

Products from birch have durability, unpretentiousness in leaving, a long service life. Birch furniture is in harmony with built-in appliances, and the use of good fittings and glazing of the facades make these products extremely sophisticated.

The basis of a successful and attractive kitchen design is the most harmonious combination of furniture elements, decor with the features of the surface finish of the room. Interior elements should be combined with each other both in style and in color spectrum.

The definition of color solutions is the most relevant aspect in the design of kitchen interiors. Color has the ability to change the perception of the space of the room, organize special accents and hide certain problems. Color schemes should be in place and harmoniously combined. Choosing the desired color spectrum, you can follow the rules of a harmonious combination of colors and shades.

In this context, wood is able to change color after coating it with special compounds. At the same time, some species of wood change color a little, others to a large extent.

The variety of color combinations of different types of wood is endless. This is explained by a significant amount of tree species, differences in the conditions of tree growth in certain climatic conditions, as well as the uniqueness of the microclimate of each forest.

It is for these reasons that the color of wood products can really be chosen almost any, from white, light to deep dark, to choose any shade of red. In practice, even gray wood is used.

In addition to choosing the color of a particular wood, it is important to take into account the texture of its surface, as well as the existing features of the particular wood species. So, a feature of the beech tree is short dark lines that pierce the beech wood. Merbau, having a fibrous structure, forms a yellowish-greenish glare on a dark brown background.

Various style decisions, whether it is a classic or a performance in a modern style, mainly relate to the front of the headset and other elements. The way the entire design fits into the overall interior of the kitchen depends on the style of execution of the facade.

The choice of facades depends on the style in which the design of the entire room is designed. The facades of wood can be given a wide variety of shapes and appearance, for example:

• with smooth and clear contours;
• with milled surfaces;
• with ragged edges or trim;
• with bent door silhouettes in a romantic style;
• with a deliberately coarse rustic finish.

Durable oak surfaces, elements of pine and other wood massif are perfect for the interior created in eco style or in the classic version. In these cases, the furniture either fully preserves the colors of natural wood or is not intensely tinted with dyes and furniture varnishes.

Panels for cladding with the use of veneer, multiplex, solid wood give the opportunity to decorate the kitchen in a variety of styles - from classics to contemporary art nouveau designs. The exceptions here are high-tech and loft styles that require the use of modern materials or glass.

Solid wood kitchens are considered classics, which are believed to be in fashion forever. Indeed, such a kitchen successfully forms home coziness and comfort. Headsets made of solid wood, especially oak, beech, ash, pine, are environmentally friendly, durable and beautiful. In the manufacture of headsets, the wood material is dried and coated with special protective compounds that prevent moisture and temperature changes. Array products have a beautiful texture and high strength. The universality of the qualitative characteristics of wood material implies a lot of style solutions and scope for design.

The vast majority of projects are drawn up as part of the style modern, which is distinguished by the rationality and naturalness of the lines in the performance of various elements. This style is distinguished by the absence of all superfluous and the naturalness of the lines of each element.

In style kitchens provence, the leading role is played by shades of furniture. In the design of the dining area, as a rule, white color is used. The theme of Provence provides for the presence of the effect of antiquity, as well as forged decor elements. At the same time, on the countertop, made in this style, often there are chips, small cracks and abrasions.

The atmosphere of warmth and comfort is created by rooms decorated in the style of noble classics. In the framework of this style, white color looks great, and the use of wood with a patina will help to tint the most beneficial aspects of the kitchen. Often used carved patinated decor elements or paintings that bring a harmonious variety to the overall design of the kitchen.

The use of patinated modules absolutely does not cause violations of the monochrome interior, but to a large extent revives it. Aged wood is obtained by using special mixtures, the composition of which depends on the characteristics of the surface to be coated.

The selection of furniture is always associated with the selection of a certain type of headset, which largely depends on the amount available. Hand-made headsets are always more expensive than factory ones.But the latter, having different prices, can be classic, elite, made in different styles, on which the specific price of the product depends.

It is first necessary to determine the dimensions of the planned acquisition by making the necessary measurements of the premises. You should not get carried away with complicated expensive accessories, since the level of its reliability decreases with increasing complexity of the system.

Wood is a difficult material to process, therefore its quality characteristics are the subject of careful selection, regardless of what type of headset is selected. There are a number of recommendations for her choice.

1. The facades of the headset should not be wet, as this indicates poor-quality drying of the solid wood. This can lead to possible deformation of the product in the future.
2. The surface of the wood should be even and smooth. Cracks, abrasions and potholes are unacceptable.
3. Each decorative element must be checked for accuracy and thoroughness of manufacture. Any roughness can subsequently lead to delamination of the material.
4. Fixing holes in high-quality furniture always have clean and neat (no cracks) edges. Otherwise, this will lead to a weakening of the fasteners and the appearance of new cracks.
5. Facades should not include knots, otherwise, over time, there will be a curvature of structural elements.

Guidelines for caring for headsets in general are universal. To wipe the structure, special detergents (without alcohol additives) are used. After wet care of furniture, its surface should be wiped dry.

For regular and competent care, there are some recommendations.

1. When caring for furniture, do not use products containing solvents and abrasive substances. All you need is a soap solution and a sponge.
2. Give the surface of the headset the necessary shine will help a special mastic.
3. The humidity in the room should be maintained within 50-75%, which will ensure the safety of the product performance.
4. Do not place heating devices closer to the headset than 50 cm.
5. Remove dust from product surfaces using a soft flannel or plush.
6. Small scratches or small cracks are wiped with sandpaper, and then treated with polish, after which they become invisible.
7. The mounting hardware is subject to periodic inspection, during which the loosened screws and bolts are sure to be tightened.
