Selection rules
- Before buying a corner kitchen, it is very important to clearly plan the room, determine which model will suit your layout, and choose a style that does not contradict the general style of the apartment, because it will be somewhat ridiculous to leave the baroque bedroom, walk along the corridor in the same design and suddenly get into the high-tech kitchen with a bunch of "bells and whistles" and an ultramodern design.
- Consider lighting. Any furniture, angular or not, will look poor and even untidy in a dim light. The more small fixtures in the kitchen, the more comfortable all zones will look.
- If you have a small kitchen, choose corner furniture with glass inserts on the cabinet doors, glossy or mirrored surfaces to attract light and visually expand the space.
- Buy furniture without pointed corners - they give the impression of excessive rigor and some severity of the interior. Rounded corners are ideal for the kitchen.
Materials and colors
For a kitchen that does not differ in huge sizes, pastel and base colors will be the perfect color solution, helping to get rid of the clutter of space and as if to push the walls. Don't think the classics are boring. Basic colors (white, black, red, beige) have many shades and halftones - From blue-black, frosty white to cream or bright red.
If you want to make the kitchen in different colors, to add playfulness, use pure shades of natural tones of green, yellow, blue.
Corner sets are most often made from plywood or solid wood, which allows you to create kitchens for any wallet. If you are ready for serious expenses, then buy a corner kit from an array, and for those who want to save money, the market offers a lot of combinations of solid and plywood.
The purchase of corner furniture will never make you regret it, because its functional characteristics, attractive appearance and ease of care can satisfy the needs of even the most skeptical buyers.
