Direct kitchens of 3 m: design ideas and interesting examples

The layout of the kitchen is pleasant, but responsible. In addition to beauty and style, it is necessary to pay maximum attention to functionality and convenience. A direct kitchen 3 meters long is one of the most popular models, as it can fit in most standard apartments and contains all the necessary blocks and modules.

The linear layout of the kitchen has several advantages over corner U-shaped models. At the same time, its design can be very sophisticated and set the tone for the entire interior.

Indeed, if you have a wall of 3 meters or more, then there is nothing difficult to place such a headset near it. Here you will not need to look for a ready-made solution for a long time, because a large number of manufacturers will offer you already developed modules. It remains only to choose the one that suits the style.

All lower and upper blocks have a standard width, so you can easily arrange them as you wish. In corner kitchens it is impossible to do this, since a certain configuration and arrangement of blocks is set during production.

This includes the possibility of moving the kitchen, for example, to another wall (if such a need and desire arise) or even moving to another apartment. You won’t have to worry that your favorite kitchen set will not fit into the framework of a new room. This standard length is suitable for most apartments (even non-standard layout).

With other kitchen sets, problems may arise, since either a certain angle (left or right) or length may not fit in the footage of a new apartment. Given that the cost of the headset is significant, this circumstance is quite significant.

• Price. Kitchen options of 3 m are not represented by a large number of furniture manufacturers in both the economy and premium segments. You will not have to pay extra for an individual design project and non-standard parts and modules. It is worth noting that it is the angular modules that always cost more than their direct counterparts. Even if you want to make a kitchen to order, it will cost you less than similar versions of the L- and U-shaped.
• Convenience. The laconic arrangement of all modules on one straight line allows you to quickly navigate and find the right objects and utensils. At the same time, a sufficient number of modules will allow you to place everything you need for the cooking process and table setting.

We also note the convenience of the cooking process itself. The hostess will not have to constantly spin and run from one corner of the room to another in order to take the necessary thing. The linear arrangement allows you to place objects so that they are conveniently removed during cooking, without making unnecessary movements.

• Takes up little space. One of the most important tasks for each designer is to make the interior functional, but at the same time leaving a maximum of free space. The room should not look (and be) loaded. The option of kitchen considered by us just meets all these requirements. It will occupy only one of four (or more) walls, but it will contain everything necessary. The remaining space can be used as a dining area or other purposes.
• Universality. Direct kitchen is suitable for both large rooms and for very modest. In the first case, you can easily equip a dining area in free space. The process of serving and cleaning the table in this case will be very comfortable. You won’t have to go from one room to another to bring and carry everything you need.

But such headsets have their drawbacks. They may not be so significant, but they must be taken into account when choosing. The most important minus or even rather a feature of the 3-meter headset is the impossibility of its location in too small rooms.

Even if one of the walls has a length of 3 meters, this does not mean that everything you need will comfortably fit there. For example, if you place furniture right next to the walls, the question will arise about the location of the refrigerator. In addition, do not forget that 80 cm in the lower block will take a plate. A sink is often placed on the same straight line. And this means that the working space will be reduced by another 80 cm. There remains a very small working area.

Another difficulty may arise if you want to swap blocks. In small rooms it all depends on communications. This applies to the location of the supply pipes and sockets for electric stoves. Their transfer, of course, is possible, but it will require effort and cost.

In many ways, the layout of the kitchen depends on communications. To transfer and remake them is a troublesome business. Therefore, it is they who determine the place of the stove and sink more often. And here unexpected difficulties may lie in wait. Most often, the drain is in the corner, and a sink is installed in the same place. But at the first attempt to wash the dishes, you will find that the wall is too close and you bump your elbow at it. This can be avoided if you foresee a washing unit with a minimum length of 80 cm.

The second problem may be the location of the refrigerator. It should not stand close to the stove to avoid heating.With limited space, this can be a problem. If you place it near another wall, there will be little space for a dining table.

In small rooms, it is necessary to correctly use every centimeter of space. Therefore, very often the area near the window is not left empty. Having placed the headset along the wall, an additional working area is equipped here (this can be a cutting table, and a sink). This is one of the options for the competent use of space.

If you are the happy owner of a large spacious kitchen, then in this case a linear 3-meter headset will be a good option. Placing it along one wall, you can conveniently put a refrigerator near the next one, and the stove can be brought to the island table.

To make the kitchen not only comfortable, but also modern, you need to think through its style in advance. The most popular trend remains the classic. But this is far from the only design option that can be observed today.

A three-meter headset in a classic style will decorate any room. It goes well with different types of wall and ceiling finishes. Unassuming, understandable and concise - it will not bother you in a year or two. In this case, it will be possible to change other elements of the interior, such as wallpaper or textiles.

There is an opinion that this style is chosen by people of the older generation. This is not entirely true. Do not think that the classic is always boring and monotonous.

For those who do not like to clutter up the space with a large number of elements and objects, this style is suitable. A direct headset can have the same functionality as in the classic version, only you should pay attention to the choice of facades.

They should not stand out. In this case, monochrome light solutions without fittings on the facades are best suited. In this case, the headset will dissolve or visually become part of the wall.

The style of the young, the bold and the daring. The abundance of metal elements, monochrome and steel surfaces, the absence (or minimal amount) of textile makes this style uncomfortable and cold in the eyes of the older generation.

But it is fully consistent with the preferences of young people who want to prove themselves and do everything interesting, unusual and original. In support of this style, we can say that it can be very cozy and quite "home". The main thing is to correctly prioritize and pay attention to details.

A style that has remained at the peak of popularity in recent years. Brick (or styled as raw brick) walls, brutal large elements, imitation of incomplete repair - all these are elements of a loft. But the designer’s task is to make the room look neat, concise and comfortable. It is necessary to get away from the feeling of an old or unrepaired room, while preserving these elements.

This style implies a combination of several textures, colors in one element. So, a direct headset can have a light top and a dark bottom, or vice versa. The most suitable combinations here are white and black, beige and brown, saturated shades of burgundy, green with dark tones.

This style originated in the West and in translation means nothing more than “rustic”. That's just the villages in the West are quite different from ours. Therefore, this style for us remains exotic, but nevertheless understandable and attractive.

A kitchen in this style simply has to be made of wood (or imitation wood). Prefer natural colors. There is no room for flashy neon or metallic shades. Indeed, the abundance of natural materials is one of the distinguishing features of such interiors. Comfort is created by textiles. It is also better to use natural fabrics, cotton, linen. Often, country-style headsets are complemented by an appropriate dining area. It can be with rattan elements or imitate wicker garden furniture.

This style is distinguished by refined lines and textured details. Even a new headset should give the impression that you got it from your grandmother. But this is not junk, but a real vintage exhibit. When choosing a color, focus on natural and muted shades. Often such headsets are equipped with accessories typical for this style - handles styled in bronze, beautiful curls and flowing lines.

The upper kitchen cabinets can be equipped with transparent doors by making jumpers on them (most often diagonally) to the tone of the main headset. Such patterns can be repeated on the lower cabinets, and on other furniture.

Before making the final choice, It is worth considering important points.

1. Before buying, draw a project with the exact dimensions to make sure that all the elements fit comfortably in place.
2. Do not be afraid to experiment with style. Direct kitchen allows you to execute a room in any of the directions you like.
3. Think in advance where the rest of the furniture and household items will be located. Will the refrigerator, stove, sink be part of the headset, is it necessary to place a dining table in the kitchen.

The loft-style kitchen always looks original and stylish. Brickwork and natural materials give it a special chic and elegance.

Western country style is increasingly to be found with us. It is close to us and fits perfectly into the interiors of modern apartments.

The kitchen in the style of minimalism captivates with its laconicism and simplicity. At the same time, its functionality and convenience are maintained.
