Radius kitchens: features and types

Every housewife wants to have a luxurious kitchen, in which it will not only be pleasant to cook, but just to be. In recent years, modern radial kitchens, which look very original, have become very popular. Traditional headsets, of course, do not go by the wayside, although the radius options are no less functional compared to them. They have their own characteristics. And also there are varieties of radiused kitchens.

Curved facades look spectacular compared to the classic options. In addition, they are considered more convenient and multifunctional.

• Rounded facades are almost always made to order according to individual sizes, as a result of which they are very ergonomic and aesthetic. Moreover, a custom-made headset is almost always an exclusive option in a single copy.
• Radius options fit best in kitchen studios, especially small ones. They perfectly complement several combined areas: the cooking area and the dining room, in particular, if the headset with a bar counter.
• Radial headsets do not have sharp corners, which is also a definite plus, especially if there are children in the house or apartment.
• Radius kitchens are not always advisable to choose if the area of ​​the room is less than 10 m 2. This is due to the fact that volumetric semicircular sections “eat up” the space.
• Such kitchens are performed in almost any style. The most popular are the options in the classic and high-tech style, there are often options in the direction of Provence or country with various kinds of carved details and drawings.Scandinavian-style radial headset is almost never found.

To date, curved kitchens are performed in 2 ways:

• by bending an array of wood;
• by cutting finished rounded parts from the necessary material.

Both methods are quite expensive, and therefore quality radial kitchens cost buyers a decent penny, especially if they are made, for example, from larch or oak.

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of radius elements kitchens made of various materials.

The pluses include:

• high wear resistance and strength of radius panels;
• noble appearance and exclusivity of products;
• resistance to high humidity and the effects of any detergents.

With good quality care, radial kitchens made of natural wood can last more than one generation and can even become generic. Often, in round kitchens made from natural materials, glass is used to design original curved facades, especially if the set is made in the style of Provence or classic. Among the shortcomings can be identified:

• high cost of products;
• a limited number of colors, as a rule, they are all natural;
• the complexity of the restoration if necessary.

Enamel curved radial kitchens also have a number of positive aspects:

• large selection of colors and textures;
• durability and practicality;
• special resistance to burnout and exposure to chemicals.

The disadvantages include a rather high cost, although it is slightly lower than that of natural wood options, as well as the fact that on glossy enamel surfaces, as a rule, traces of hands and various objects are always visible. Such a headset can be problematic to care for.

These types of headsets can be very profitably purchased, they have their own merits.

• They are available in a variety of colors.
• They are highly resistant to UV rays and cleaning chemicals.
• They have an attractive appearance. Of course, they do not look as expensive as the options made of natural wood, but imitation may look no worse.
• Can be glued with glossy or matte film coatings.

Radius kitchens are also often made of plastic, but they have several disadvantages, despite their budget price. As a rule, such headsets are placed only for the first time.

Typically, radial facades are equipped with upper or lower cabinets, as well as drawers and pencil cases. Bar counters combined with the kitchen can also have a rounded shape. Rounded islands are also made depending on the chosen kitchen design. There are several varieties of radius furniture.

• The kitchen can be traditional, but at the same time the facade will be rounded or in the form of an ellipse.
• Asymmetric versions of radii are not rare, as well as with lines concave inward.
• The curving lines of the headset can be wavy vertical or horizontal. Drawers of wave-shaped forms look especially interesting.
• Most often, roundness is added to the end parts located near the entrance to the kitchen. These rounded elements perfectly complete the furniture range and, moreover, reduce the risk of injury to family members, especially small ones.
• Today, one of the most popular kitchen options is one where the radius elements are combined with the usual smooth doors in the headset. Such combinations are relevant both for kitchen studios and for large rooms.

To obtain a complete and complete picture of the design of a radiused kitchen, the facades should be correctly selected according to the color scheme and textures. Everything should be in harmony. We also recommend that you use 3D design before buying furniture, which today is offered by many salons for the manufacture of kitchen sets.

Before ordering furniture, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the interesting designs of radius kitchens, which can be taken as the basis of your future project.

• If you have a dream to install a stylish hi-tech suite in the kitchen, you can pay attention to the glossy black and white radiused kitchen. The main thing in such an interior is to use the built-in appliances and pay special attention, for example, to the original range hood, which can become a kind of accent in the kitchen. Although it can attract a minimum of attention if it is built in.

• Fans of the Provence and country styles will pay attention to the semicircular corner kitchen made of wood in milk colors. Such a set can be made of larch or, for example, bleached oak.

• A bright set with a bar counter in a semicircle looks no less original. Typically, such options fit perfectly into the area of ​​the premises of at least 20 m 2.

Curved furniture groups for the kitchen should be carefully calculated based on the size of the room and the desired built-in appliances. That is why it is recommended to use the services of professional companies that have been selling furniture for kitchens for more than a year to buy these types of headsets.
